We've seen a total of 18 sets in 4 years, so there's a lot of ground to be covered. I also wrap up the episode by stating what I want to see more in the future of DBS from a collector's standpoint to make DBS great again!

In todays episode Weston & I discuss a controversial topic: the Ebay & PWCC email of last week.

In this episode West explores how he got into collecting and how he got to where he's now making a living selling graded cards.

There's so much more to collecting than just growing your stack of cards. In this episode I talk how to enrich your collecting experience by building relationships within the community ❤️

In today's episode I interview a good friend of mine Fred, aka @fifty50chasing.  We cover topics like cross-collecting, navigating bear markets, the significance of alternative grading companies, the future of Black Labels, the uprising of SDBH, etc.  This has been the most fun I had talking cardboard in a while! Very insightful, longer type episode I think you'll all enjoy

In this solo episode I discuss the pitfalls of collecting and how quickly you can fall into the “dark side”. Greed is powerful & can consume you until you drained your entire savings. By the time you snap out of it, it might be too late. To remedy this I lay out the importance of being mindful and aware of this as well as give my take on how to collect long term in a balanced way.

In this episode I talk cards with @Null_Collector. We initially planned to mainly talk about the article he wrote for PSA, but we ended up talking about all kinds of things
