Every week we break down one set from the world of sports cards. Football, baseball, basketball, and even hockey cards are covered during the show. Each episode also includes the latest in sportscard news.
Some of my takes from Week 1 of the NFL season were so wrong – it has me re-thinking most of my projections for the season. I realize it's only Week 2, but some themes are starting to emerge – and re-emerge in some cases. Hear why I'm now more bullish Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts and ready to sell all of my Kyler Murray cards. Aaron Rodgers fooled me again. Horrible week 1, followed by a solid performance in Week 2. I tell you how I'm approaching Rodgers cards right now.
On this episode of the Cardfellas Podcast Show, we discuss the ugliest card designs of the junk wax era of baseball cards. We narrowed it down to eight hideous designs... it was tough. There are a lot of strong candidates including 1991 Fleer, and 1991 Donruss.
Since many people in the sports card hobby treat sports card collecting like gambling or stocks – this episode is mostly for you. However, for investors looking for a long play, this episode will work for you too. Every week, we'll recap the NFL week that was – and how it relates to the hobby. We'll share our thoughts on which players to buy, sell and hold. This week, the four NFL QBs to hold, plus the two QBs you should be buying. Also, Mac Jones or Kirk Cousins -- we're bullish on one of them.
Every month there is a card show in my community. It is fairly large and well-attended. In this podcast, I will share my observations from the September show, including attendance, what dealers were buying, out-of-whack pricing and my card show purchases.
On this week's Cardfellas Podcast Show, the fellas discuss the 2012 Panini Prizm Football Card set. This was the first year of Prizm and the beginning of the end for Topps in the football card business. Key rookies include Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck, and Ryan Tannehill.
On this episode of The Cardfellas Show Podcast, we discuss the most expensive card ever sold. A 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle SGC 9.5 recently sold for over twelve million dollars. Not many of us will ever have a card that valuable but does this sale have ramifications for the hobby as a whole? What does this mean to the average collector? We tackle this topic and more!
This week on the Cardfellas Podcast Show, we're covering a game-changing basketball card set, the 1991-92 Basketball Card set. The set brought a half dozen new Michael Jordan cards, premium foil packs, holograms, and rookie cards of Dikembe Mutombo & Larry Johnson.
Mike Trout is highly regarded as one of the greatest players of the current era of baseball. But he's been battling severe injuries recently. The Los Angeles Angels star is now nursing a back injury that looks to be a long-term issue. While his lifetime numbers are strong and he was a dominant player in his era, there are holes in his Hall of Fame resume.
This week on the Cardfellas Podcast Show, we go back to the 80s to rediscover the 1980 Topps Tiffany Baseball Card Set. The "Tiffany" sets were once undiscovered but a renewed emphasis on grading and card rarity has brought these less printed cousins of junk wax sets out of obscurity and turned them into collector favorites.
Matt is off this week but the show must go on... even if it's late! We're talking 1982 Topps Football Rookie Cards. This set includes rookie cards of Lawrence Taylor, Ronnie Lott, Anthony Munoz, Cris Collinsworth, and many more.
The Cardfellas Podcast Show is back with another football show! We're discussing 1990 Action Packed Football Cards. This is a breakthrough set. Three-dimensional cards were a never before seen look. We really haven't seen any since then either. A cool set with stars like Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Joe Montana and more.
We've hit the big FOUR-OH! Today's show is episode #40 and the Cardfellas Podcast Show is officially over the hill. We're discussing the 1986 Topps Traded Baseball Card Set. It's a small set but it packs a big star power punch. Rookie cards of Barry Bonds, Bo Jackson, Jose Canseco, Kevin Mitchell, Will Clark, Andres Gallaraga, Pete Incaviglia, and more.
1988 isn't thought of as a fantastic rookie class when it comes to baseball cards but there are actually several Hall of Famers who made their debut on cards that year. On this week's show, we take a closer look at some of the best rookie cards from sets that don't get a lot of love.
It's Episode #38 of the Cardfellas Podcast Show. Today, we're discussing the 1984-85 Star Basketball Card set. This set includes a Michael Jordan rookie card that is far rarer than the 1986 Fleer card. Should it be valuable? We get into that and break down why we're finding a lot more retail wax in our local retailers and online. Looking for Panini Prizm football cards? You can get them on a major retailer's website.
On this week's show, we discuss the 1993 Topps Finest Baseball Card Set. This is one of the first chromium sets and definitely a collector favorite despite the lack of great rookie cards. There are some awesome short-printed refractors in this set that are worth big bucks today. Kirby Puckett, Ken Griffey Jr. and Nolan Ryan are some of the 30+ Hall of Famers in the set.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are here and so is Episode #36 of the Card Fellas Podcast Show. Today we're talking hockey, specifically the 1971-72 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Card Set. This is one of the most sought-after vintage hockey card sets in existence. Dozens of Hall of Fame cards and rookie cards of Ken Dryden, Guy Lafleur, and Marcel Dionne highlight the set. We also talk about yet another update from PSA. It appears that the inflow of cards into PSA isn't as fast as they had hoped.
On this episode of the Cardfellas Podcast Show, we get into the 1976 Topps Football Card set. It's a popular set thanks to the Walter Payton Rookie Card. The set also has rookie cards for Jack Lambert, Randy White, and Ed Too Tall Jones. Those rookie cards are awesome but if you're into 1970's era stars, you can find Terry Bradshaw, OJ Simpson, Roger Staubach, Fran Tarkenton, and more. It's a fun set with the first cards from the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccanneers as well.
We've "ho-hummed" Bowman University Football Cards in the past but we've had a change of heart. College Football is solidly #2 when it comes to the popularity of sports in the United States and we believe Bowman U is going to be a hot commodity once the college football season starts!
PSA is reopening value grading for $30 per card. There are some stipulations. It's a minimum of 20 cards, you must be a Collector's Club member, the Declared Value limit is $499, and they're not taking any cards older than 1996 at this level. PSA says they won't start these cards until the backlog of value submissions from 2021 is complete and they're estimating 120 turnarounds on these new value submissions. The Fellas discuss why they believe PSA is making the move and how the market might react to it on this episode of the Card Fellas Podcast Show.
Beckett has announced that they're reopening for economy grading submissions. They're promising a 90-120 turnaround with no maximum value for $25 with no subgrades. But will there be a big push of sports card collectors going back to Beckett for grading?
Episode #31 of the CardFellas Podcast Show dives into the 1992 Topps Archives "The Rookies" Basketball Card Set. This set features the "missing" Topps rookie cards from the 1980s and early 1990s. Topps was out of the basketball card business during this time and the set brings us a look at what might have been. It's a super fun set that is affordable, eye-appealing, and is rarer than most cards from this era.
It's Episode 30 of the Cardfellas Podcast Show! Today we're discussing the losing proposition of opening wax packs. It's becoming more and more difficult to open hobby or retail packs and recover your money. There's way more value in buying singles online, at a local show, or even at a card shop. It's still fun to open packs but understand you're paying for the entertainment value as much as the cards.
On this episode of the Cardfellas Podcast Show, we discuss the 1987 Donruss The Rookies Set. This set only has one Hall of Famer, Greg Maddux, on the checklist. But there is a laundry list of fan-favorite players. These sets from the mid-80s and early 1990's have experienced a surge in popularity as more Gen-X collectors re-enter the hobby. We also discuss how things are going on eBay. Views and sales are down for a number of sellers. Should we prepare for prices to tank?
On this episode of the CardFellas Podcast Show, we discuss the 1989 ProSet Football Card Set, it's immense list of Hall of Fame Rookie Cards including Barry Sanders, Troy Aikman, Derrick Thomas, Deion Sanders, Steve Atwater, and more. The Card Fellas also have an update on their PSA Submissions and there's good news. There are a few submissions that just popped and are headed home. Thanks for listening!
1985 was a banner year for baseball rookie cards. Topps, Fleer, and Donruss all enjoyed a fantastic crop of young stars like Dwight Gooden, Kirby Puckett, and Roger Clemens. If we dig deeper we can find even more. On this episode of the Card Fellas Podcast Show, we talk about our favorite four rookie cards from 1985.
It's Episode 26 of the Cardfellas Podcast Show and today we're discussing Gen X getting back into the sportscard hobby. Most of these people, including us, were card collectors as young people during the junk wax era. As the pandemic went full scale, many of us pulled out our old collections and started picking up new cards. That started a tidal wave of product shortages, grading delays, and more. We discuss what happened and what's next.
On this episode of the CardFellas Podcast Show, the guys discuss their biggest card show pet peeves. From narrow aisles to bad hygiene, we cover it all.
It's Episode #24 of the Cardfellas Podcast Show and we're talking 2008 Topps Chrome Basketball. This is the last full set of Topps Chrome NBA basketball cards. The rookie class features Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, and Kevin Love. But this set is about two iconic veteran cards. The LeBron James and Kobe Bryant cards are the two most important cards in the set. We also discuss Fanatics auctions and what that could mean for the future of card selling platforms. For more sports card content, head over to CardFellas on YouTube.
On this CardFellas Shorty, we discuss the reality of 1 of 1 baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, and hockey cards. How many of them exist? How valuable are they? There are many ways cards can be rare including creating 1 of 1 cards and getting low pop cards graded. We look deeper into the 1/1 craze during this episode of the Cardfellas Podcast Show.
PSA announced today that they're opening up their Economy Level service to anyone without the need to win an allotment. Anyone with a PSA Collector's Club Membership can now send in cards at the Economy Level for $50 per card. But is this a game-changer for anyone? Does this affect the current backlog at PSA? We discuss this and more in today's emergency episode.
The sportscard retail landscape is always changing. On today's Card Fellas Podcast Show, the guys talk about what they've been finding recently at Target and Walmart, Matt gives us an update on what can currently be found on Target.com, and we discuss a recent delivery of 2021 Mosaic Football from Fanatics. Recent products found at Target include 2022 Bowman baseball card retail packs, 2021 Playbook Hanger boxes, Donruss basketball, Big League baseball, more Topps Series 1, Heritage hangers and blasters, and 2021 Contenders Football cards.
On this Cardfellas Podcast Shorty, the guys discuss how many cards PSA, SGC, and Beckett graded in April and what is the immediate future of grading with SGC. The PSA Backlog is dwindling down to less than three million cards. It was 12 million last year. PSA is on pace to be completely caught up by mid-Summer. What's next? Chris and Matt try to predict the future of card grading.
On this episode of the Cardfellas Podcast Show we break down the 2022 Bowman Baseball Card Set. Bowman was just released this week in hobby shops and has been in retail for about a week. As always, there's a ton to like including a Wander Franco Rookie Card, incredible prospects, and some gorgeous Chrome inserts. We tell you what prospects to look for and just how rare some of the parallels are this year.
On this CardFellas Podcast Show we discuss the soul of card collecting. What does card collecting mean to you? Have the recent events of the hobby like flipping, the emphasis on grading, eBay, and surging prices increased or decreased your enjoyment? What are you doing differently now than you were doing before the pandemic? Matt and Chris break down how their collecting has changed and what they enjoy most about the hobby in 2022.
With less than 10 skill players and only 1 quarterback being selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, this draft class may be the worst class, when it comes to the football card hobby, in decades. In this episode of the CardFellas Podcast Show, we discuss some of the highlights of this draft class and the long-range prospects of the quarterbacks taken in the previous two draft classes.
It's a hockey-centric show for Episode 16 of the Cardfellas Show Podcast. We're talking 2005-2006 Upper Deck hockey. It's a set with two all-time great NHL players' rookie cards... but they're not easy pulls! If you're looking to pull Alex Ovechkin or Sidney Crosby Young Guns rookies, you'll need deep pockets! We're also discussing our picks to win the Stanley Cup playoffs and debate whether hockey cards present a pure collecting opportunity not found in more popular sports card genres.
In this week's Shorty, we discuss the Fanatics product "drop" strategy, the return of Starting Lineup action figures, and a speculative baseball card market gone wild. Fanatics is basically doing a lottery to give potential buyers opportunities to buy retail product. This makes it tough for flippers to get their hands on large amounts of blaster and mega boxes. Those cool Starting Lineup action figures are coming back and Fanatics is distributing them. We've seen cards from Anthony Volpe and Spencer Torkelson recently sell for over $100,000 despite both players having very little to no Major League experience.
In this episode of the Card Fellas Podcast Show, we discuss the 2000 Bowman football card set, the Tom Brady Rookie Card #236 from that set, and the best quarterbacks of all time. Other topics include Beckett opening up standard grading submissions and if they're even relevant in card grading at this point.
We're back with another Cardfellas Shorty! In this episode, we talk about PSA breaking a record for most cards graded in a month... can you say one million cards? Also, the most graded player isn't a surprise... it's Michael Jordan. But the most graded card would probably take you 100s of guesses before you got it right. Also, Wander Franco Topps Rookie Cards might be SGC's opportunity to take more market share from PSA.
Our latest CardFellas Shorty! Today we're talking about all the million-dollar cards that have sold in 2022 and there's another Wander Franco Topps rookie card that hit the market... and this one won't have hundreds of thousands printed.
On this episode of the CardFellas Podcast Show, we take a deep dive into the 1978 Topps Baseball Card Set. This set features what is perhaps the best multi-player rookie card ever made. The Paul Molitor-Alan Trammel Rookie Card boasts two Baseball Hall of Fame players! The 1978 set also has one of the most iconic Reggie Jackson cards ever made and the Nolan Ryan card is one of the rarest PSA 10 cards produced in the last 50 years. We also discuss Topps getting back into the football card game with their upcoming release, Bowman U.
Episode 10 of the Cardfellas Podcast Show is a new feature we call Shorties. These shorter episodes will tackle a few topics in brief. This week we discuss Wander Franco cards finding their value. While the Devil Rays rookie is deservedly hyped, it appears that his cards have finally settled to about where they should be valued right now. And we take a look at LeBron James cards. Are they undervalued compared to other great players?
It's Episode 9 of the CardFellas Podcast Show. On this episode, we take a look at the 1996-97 Topps Basketball Card Set, including the Kobe Bryant Rookie Card, and the rest of the gargantuan rookie class. Ray Allen, Steve Nash, and Allen Iverson are all part of this legendary rookie class. The Chicago Bulls were also in the midst of their dynastic run. We also discuss Matt's latest SGC graded card reveal video. Let's just say it received a bunch of comments! eBay is the world's largest sports card marketplace and a recent report shows there are seven card sellers among the top 15 sellers on eBay.
This week's show takes a deep dive into the 1984 USFL Topps Football Card Set. It was a completely different era for football back then. The NFL wasn't the goliath it is today and a startup group of investors felt like the time was right to challenge the league. They weren't alone. Herschel Walker, Steve Young, Reggie White, and Jim Kelly all joined the league. But the cards may be more interesting than the league! We also talk about Ken Goldin and Drake opening a box of 1986 Fleer LIVE on Instagram and the future of those cards. They pulled THREE Michael Jordan rookies and three Jordan stickers. Other topics include a Forbes article on PSA and Bruce Arians steps down as the Buccaneers head coach.
Warning: This show may have a few curse words. We're talking about the 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken F Face Error Card. This card is the most infamous error card of all time. But the 1989 Fleer Baseball Card set is loaded with other magnificent cards including a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card, and Randy Johnson rookie card. The guys also discuss the NFL quarterback carousel including Matt Ryan, Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson, Baker Mayfield, and more.
In Episode 6 of The Cardfellas Show, we are talking basketball cards. We take a deep dive into the 1989 Hoops set. This set is the first licensed basketball set that isn't Fleer since the Topps sets in the early 1980s. It features a true rookie card of David Robinson and two iconic Michael Jordan cards.
