The Fanatics Premier auction ended after 2 am with the dual logo man auto selling for over $2M! But the story of that auction is not that card.
NCAA is crazy- but that is not the madness I am talking aboutIts Hobby Madness as Huge Cards sell for Huge prices and there are no signs that this is slowing down.
Sometimes you have to know your role.Some cards- you are not the final boss.You are not meant to be the final ownerBUT- if you sell- what do you buy next?
You can feel lucky in this space. And it's not just the luck of the Irish.There really so many great things happening at this time of the year that all lead to the hobby being more fun and having more opportunities.
From the Sports providing excitement, to the young stars who will soon be the cards everyone chases, to the shows, to the community and all of the above- the Hobby is Unstoppable.
The high end is flying- but that's not where I am having fun playing. For me- the shallow end of the hobby pool is actually where you can do a deeper dive.
The best community and best hobby in the world.Lets talk about how I find my next card.and about how I was right about the best draft class ever!
Nope. We are not rich.. not yet at least.I have been called a clown more times this week than I can count.But deep down- you know I am right.
Its not rage bait... It's not even Cage bait.Let me tell you why Kobe isn't a top 5 player- and its not even close.
Bam scores 83...Team Italy might have just eliminated Team USA...The raiders went from bad to good to bad again.. and that was all in one night!
Lots of momentum. And I don't think its stopping any time soon.
A trip to a card show brings a renewed sense of nostalgia and love for the hobby. And not just the high end!
The tale of the card purchased on vacation comes to a conclusion. and it's a good one. And lets talk about why eBay is not good!
Nah- the market isn't crashing any time soon. In fact- there are so many reasons to be positive about this space!
I was reminded yesterday that the Hobby is in a good place. And it's more than just the prices. The kids of today are part of the hobby- and unlike my generation, they don't have to leave. Oh yeah- and the prices are strong!!
I made a deal - but it looks like the seller may not be a Hobby Good Guy. Lessons learned? lets discuss the steps you can take to protect yourself!
OK. You sold a card or 2. What now? When the market is hot- finding the next card to buy isn't so easy.
Hobby Emotions come in many forms. For me its bidding on an auction...its going to a show with my son.. its the hobby stepping up and doing the right thing.
Record sales on top... record sales on the bottom. Where do we go from here?
When everyone puts their own spin on a story- someone has to go to the source. Why not me?
Value? What does it mean? We can all look up comps- but let's go deeper. When the world values a card for more than what you value it for- when someone is willing to pay you more than what that card is worth to you, is it time to sell? What factors go into that equations for you?
We all know what happens next.. but with no clocks on the way and no way to tell when everyone turns back into pumpkins and mice... what do we do?We keep dancing, drinking and pretending that midnight isn't coming.
Some recent content had me thinking about how we determine which card of our player we choose to spend our money on and why.
Ok- you guessed it. I took the easy way outing said all of the above. Ohtani is cheap, expensive and just right- all at the same time!
No more flawless. No More NT. Topps has the NBA and now the NFL, So what will they release to be the NT and Flawless? My bet is that Dynasty and Definitive take the place of Flawless and NT and the result? People take a long look at those product in the prior years of baseball. I could be wrong- but that doesn't happen often...
It's that time again, Time to make some piles and sort the PC. Time to make some tough choices. But this year, 2026 brings a wrinkle to our process. A new addition that I am using that may help you as well.
Soccer, Wrasslin, F1, UFC and more. What I once referred to as fringe sports that would be the first to drop if he market corrected...But was I wrong?
A fun question raised by PC Sportscards- and I take it and run with its. Let's talk fixed price vs. auction. Lets talk about the good and bad of auctions.
Maybe they are doing this on purpose?I haven't heard anyone come up with this theory yet...Tell me what you think?
Lets Talk about the New HobbyTell me if you like where this is headed.
From card shows to local card stores- everyone was worried. Fanatics was taking over and the shows were in trouble and the stores were going to close. Well- that didn't happen...
Card shows are setting records. Auctions are setting records. Athletes and Celebrities are getting involved. We have a lot to be positive about in a negative week!
Its time for Topps Flagship- and Fanatics has done a good job of tying in the old with the new for this years release- as well as adding in some fun chase cards.
Our content today drops a bomb- gives you a title and never goes deeper. Lets discuss the recent price increase from PSA and what it means.
So- you bought a card.. and the very next day, someone posts the card and says "who is the idiot who overpaid for this?"... Does that have you rethinking your purchase? or do you just realize that our hobby is filled with experts who know nothing?
The Super Bowl is over. Let's look at the impact on the hobby and the cards. And its not what you think... I am not going to crap on Drake Maye.. well maybe a little..
So you want to spend 5-10k on a card or a few cards in 2026-That's easy. Anyone can do that.But- lets talk about building a time capsule you can look back on to commemorate the year.
What Has me Excited about the Hobby today?Believe it or not- its a post about an upcoming unlicensed baseball product!
The markets are doing interesting things. Bitcoin is dropping, the AI trade is unwinding- and in the past that would impact the hobby. This time is different.. isn't it?
Every once in a while it make sense to talk about the temperature of the hobby. People are getting worried. Bitcoin is falling... but prices seem strong. What am I hearing Lets discuss!
A Card may have eye appeal- but try to make sure the price still has Brain Appeal!
What we don't know about our hobby friends might be the important stuff.This hobby attracts a certain type of person- and that person might need your help. Lets talk about some of the stuff that no one talks about- and maybe you will learn a bit more about me as well.
Recently, I have shifted my PC in a meaningful wayWithout getting too deep, let's discuss some of the reasons why I shifted my collecting focus from vintage to modern.
So much hobby drama-but its didn't impact my hobby day today.I opened packs with my kidsI had a random hobby encounterI watched fun hobby contentFor a day- the hobby drama didn't matter.
Lets talk about why we open products- and maybe if we understand what we are looking for going in, we can combine breaking for economic reasons with breaking for nostalgia and find a happy medium.
A message from a long time listener opens my eyes to a new idea to bring some nostalgia and fun back to collecting
If the cards are out of reach-- and nothing ids nostalgic, what is next? Easy: Pokemon. and it's already starting.
I used to be able to buy a box of any release and open it with my son. Not the case any more. So we are trying to find other ways to collect and have fun
Let's talk about the top players of each decade. Which ones have you even heard of? How many are relevant and collectable? and now- apply that to what is being paid for the players of today. Which ones will be relevant?
Its not time to buy Drake Maye... Its time to sell him.
