Finally, we got Bobby back on the show so we could get some info on his experience at the All-star game this year.  Luckily, we didn't have any drama on the show, so Bobby didn't have to turn off his camera.  His wife, who also does a podcast show called Screen Fix, joined him which lead to some great moments.We discussed Vegas playoff jersey prices, the puck pricing explosion, other game used items that you can collect and more.  TimberGraphs launched their new website and nobody seems to like Newark.Audio Only:

This episode is the first one hosted by Jason.We discussed the new Adidas jerseys and the wear we are seeing from some of them released into the hobby. Jason even discussed his experience of putting one on to feel the difference in the jerseys that the players feel.No live callers today, but we were ready to handle them amidst our slip-up intro.During our discussion on the state of the hobby, we had collectors discussion in the chat thread. Unfortunately one collector has a history of purposefully attempting to start trouble so we had to figure out how to remove that user from our page during the show. We don't like to be forced to do these actions but when people continue to attack others unprovoked from personal issues it becomes a distraction. We want to include everyone but actively pursuing removal will earn removal.Matt joined us and added some great banter and a new John Doe style name for us to use in the future, Joey BagOfDonuts.Our panel agreed that there are different ways to seek enjoyment from the hobby whether it be the chase, displaying, or talking about the significance of jerseys.Audio Only:
