This is an audio replay of Sports Card Radio YouTube published August 8, 2022. Please find our channel & like/subscribe as that's where all the latest content will be uploaded. Colin & Ryan will record podcasts and replay them here. On today's show: we have a deep dive discussion on if Fanatics dropping GTS as a distributor will have an impact on the sports card hobby shops you shop at and the group breakers you use. Could Blowout Cards, hobby shops & even breakers like Layton Sports Cards and Backyard Breaks be in trouble of going out of business? How does the sports card market crash impact what's going to happen?

Today we discuss the events surrounding PWCC auction house. Today eBay contacted users to inform them that PWCC is guilty of shill bidding and the company cancelled 50,000+ listings. PWCC was the highest grossing seller of trading cards on eBay - and eBay cancelled them like a bad habit. We speculate on the show why this decision came down so abruptly and if your cards are safe at PWCC now.

Vegas Dave - the guy who bought the Mike Trout Superfractor for $400K and sold it a few years later for millions is saying the trading card market will collapse by 2024. In the same breath, he says he's holding David Carr trading cards for the next 2-5 years as well. He goes after Gary Vee - likely for views/attention (which I think is a good idea) in a video on YouTube found here: https://youtu.be/GBc5pZvsGaA We play clips of his take on the trading card market and I give you my thoughts on his opinions. Finally I give you a quick update on the status of the show going forward. 

On today's show I talk about the NBA returning soon! The NFL draft and how I think this years RC class will compare to last years. We discuss how 2020 Topps Baseball product & cards have been on FIRE - despite the likelihood of no MLB season. I talk about selling on COMC, Amazon and eBay. GaryVee has taken a break from cards - is it because he's getting a divorce? Collectors seem angry - despite record card prices, I think it's because many are being priced out of their favorite hobby. The National was rescheduled - New Jersey in the winter might be worse than in the summer! Finally, I will likely not be posting many podcasts in the near future, I will tell you why.

On another quarantined edition of The Sports Card Show Podcast we are joined again by Ryan @SportsCardNews. We discuss Topps & Panini delaying products because of the virus. What impact has it had on the Hobby? Is previously released wax selling better? Colin talks about a site he's been selling Topps baseball boxes on. We each give brief Amazon updates, since it's paying most of the bills at the moment. We discuss the 2020 and 2021 National Sports Collectors Convention. There was discussion about buying Microsoft shares or 1986/87 Fleer basketball boxes - and why collectors have the wrong idea about which is a better ‘investment'. 

On today's special “quarantined” edition of the Sports Card Show Podcast, Colin is joined by Ryan & we discuss the dramatic turn in the trading card market as cards & almost all activity is put on pause for the Coronavirus. First we discuss being called as EXPERT WITNESS in the Upper Deck vs Leaf trial. Then we discuss the economic impact the Coronavirus will have on the trading card market. Who will be the winners & losers? Will the NSCC be cancelled? What are some ways to make money in a downturn? All this and more! Enjoy, stay safe and healthy!

On today's show we discuss some of the new sets that have gone live including 2020 Topps Heritage and Optic Basketball. If you feel these sets are overpriced or out of your budget, I give you some tips on how to acquire the cards. Sports Cards are RED HOT!! Like stocks, homes or anything for that matter - it's probably a good idea to be a SELLER in that type of market. I've seen some recent social media postings where people are confronting PACK SEARCHERS at Target/Wal-Mart. I tell you why that's a REALLY BAD IDEA. The NFL draft is coming - I give you my prediction on what type of class it might be. Finally our main topic is GaryVee promotes the hobby on a daily basis - and is often criticized for it. I run down collectors WHO WANT HIM STOPPED and tell you what I think. As always, today's podcast is sponsored by NO ONE! Enjoy!

On today's show we discuss the 2020 Topps Industry Conference with Ryan @SportsCardNews who attended the even for the second year in a row. We discuss what types of things you could expect if you attend the show in the future, including giveaways, athlete appearances and takeaways you can learn. We discuss an altercation between Tom Fish, owner of Blowout Cards, and Ryan in the hallway. We discuss how group breakers are the “scrubs” in this industry - mainly because they care more about being liked than making money. 

On today's show I talk about setting a hobby budget - mainly because I saw a tweet last week that really made it evident people aren't doing this. Basically a guy said he could have bought a Jordan Auto and LeBron RC for how much he spent on breaks - instead he had base he didn't even want. So I walk you through the 3 steps to make sure this doesn't happen to you! Even if you've been collecting a long time, this episode is for you - but especially if you've just gotten back into the hobby or are starting for the 1st time. I then talk briefly about the Class Action Lawsuit against PSA/PWCC and more. Baseball season is coming soon. I give an update on my store and Amazon sales in 2020. 

On today's show we discuss the tragic death of Kobe Bryant and why he was so extraordinary. 

On today's show we discuss the changes we'll make to the show in 2020. You'll find more in-depth episodes at www.sportscardradio.com/premium Going forward, this podcast will be (mainly) shorter and less in-depth. Today I discuss Luka Doncic and Zion being hurt. A former NFL player being accused of card trimming. Brian Gray goes off again! And with 2019 in the books I hope it was your best year ever. In 2020 the goal is to MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT! Merry Christmas and Happy New year! See you again in 2020.

On today's podcast, a company blow-hard threatens to sue Sports Card Radio AGAIN! Hint: He's threatened to sue me before! NFL Rookies blow ass ... sort of. Lots of QB's going down for the count Eli, Big Ben, Cam, Luck, Darnold, brees, Trubisky are all hurt or basically retired. Did DA Card World scam me out of $600 of Topps Series 2 Jumbo Boxes?? I took a trip to Southern Hobby in Reno, I briefly tell you why I did so and how it was “cheaper” than having the items shipped. I take a look at some top MLB players base Bowman Chrome rookie card prices. It's going to give me a good idea what I can pay for up & coming players, and which one's are already pricing in greatness. Ronald Acuna $25 Pete Alonso $19 2006 BD Judge $16 2013 BDPP Carlos Correa 2013 $1 Mookie Betts  2014 $4 Juan Soto 2017 $5 Cody Bellinger $7.50 Alex Bregman $6 Listener Q's wrap up the final segment, but I go off topic quite a bit during the segment.  

On today's show we discuss some strategies I've used to sell on COMC and Amazon. Finally we conclude the show talking more about the card trimming and PSA's latest conference call with investors. Here are some topics I discuss about buying/selling on COMC. Always make offers Auto accept 20% off Be the lowest price to sell fast Port Sales Buy in the offseason for baseball (Nov/Dec) Sell heading into NBA season Here are some things I discuss about selling on Amazon. Just start selling Don't be scared of competition Seasonal items Sell in categories with low return rates Sell items that are tough to find Sell items that are replenish-able Search for items out of stock Expand to Canada Apply for Seller Fulfilled Prime Here is what we discuss about the Card Trimming  Greed will keep cycle rolling PSA basically points finger at PWCC High end cards is a small market

Ryan returns for his annual appearance on the podcast, but this time he didn't go to The National. 

Today on the Sports Card Show Podcast, we discuss the latest in the card trimming scandal - including the Washington Post confirming the FBI is investigating. PWCC's finally lawyered up and it's gotten REAL quiet around the hobby. Brian Gray, Brent, even Gary Moser was talking - now it's crickets. Finest, Pro Debut, S2, Stadium Club go live with a quickness. I'm interest in seeing if the prices hold over the NSCC or if discounting sends prices lower in the coming weeks. NBA Draft & Free Agents really shook up the NBA. I'm really excited about the NBA season, and I think it will be a fun season to follow NBA trading cards as well. I have a COMC wishlist! I go through about 5 things I hope the site adds soon. The NSCC is coming, and hopefully despite the FBI investigations, people on the show floor have a good time. Finally we discuss the 4th P in making 2019 your best year ever! You need a plan, process - and have patients. But what separates real winners from losers is PROGRESS. However progress can come in many forms - including failure, so embrace progress no matter what happens. 

Colin and Ryan update you on the biggest scandals currently in the hobby. Huge update to the Gary Moser and PWCC trimmed graded cards scam. Looks like the finger pointing has just begun. Joe Clemons and Leaf Trading Cards has some explaining to do after more revelations that a former BGS & current Leaf employee gets a shocking percentage of Black Label and Pristine cards. 

Colin and Ryan sit down and try not to drown in your tears now that Luka Doncic autographs are fake. More precious trimmed slabs have come up in the last week, and it seems like PWCC, PSA and Gary Moser could be in deep doo doo soon. Will you be too? DRAIN THE SWAMP. LOCK THEM UP! 

On today's show we discuss a blog Garyvee posed to his website. We discuss the NBA Draft Lottery, that has Zion going to a team he won't likely have the opportunity to "go off" like Luka Doncic & other rookies have done. Nearly 100 more "trimmed slabs" have been uncovered since the last show ... stay tuned, more to come. I give you an Amazon update, what I have sold over the last 3 months - while NOT working on making sales. The numbers might surprise you. Finally, we want to make 2019 your best year ever. Just be sure to recognize the difference between a side hustle and a primary income source. Knowing the difference between the two can setup 2020, 2021 & beyond for you financially.

Colin & Ryan make a RARE DUAL in studio appearance.  With private security flanking the door, the twins light into the recent trimmed, fake & altered graded cards by PSA or BGS. 40% of you don't have $1,000 saved in your bank account but 100% of you might have trimmed slabs.  The 'Midget from Miami' has threatened a lawsuit against Sports Card Radio. We respond to him and his low rent South Beach lawyer.  While you guys keep chasing pictures on grown men, Colin just scooped a new Rolex Daytona and Ryan's 30th match on Bumble just slid into the Tesla.  And oh yeah, GET BACK to WORK..... SCRUBS!

Colin and Ryan both sit down and discuss the potential huge impact of Gary Vee and the prospect of him starting a card content website. A massive group break and card trimming scam has landed on Heroes of Sport doorstep. It's so massive, it broke traffic records to the twin brothers million dollar website! Cha-Ching! The NFL Draft is discussed. Tiger fucking won the Masters bitches! HATERS CAN TWEET @SPORTSCARDRADIO or at least show me how your mom's basement is furnished. SCRUBS!

Sports cards are hot and has a lot of people talking. @SportsCardRadio responds to videos posted by @GaryVee and @WatchTheBreaks & the general theme around sports card investing. 

Colin goes into full blown seek and destroy mode on industry newbies, Luka Doncic group think, haters who have never made 7 figures on a website and much more. Haters are encouraged to reach out on Twitter @SportsCardRadio

On today's topic, we talk a lot about a sport that isn't in season right now: the NFL. We've got Buy-Sell-Hold NFL QB edition (15:00 Start Time). Then I talk about Zion Williamson, and the scenarios that could happen next year depending on which card company he decides to sign with (58:00 Time Start). LUKA DONCIC ABSOLUTELY SUCKS (1:09:00 Start Time). I talk briefly about the NFL draft, which I don't think will be as good as 2018 was (1:16:40 Start Time). Vlad Jr was chucking his autograph cards from Panini in a cardboard box! Was the video clip we saw the full story? (1:26:00 Time Start). Topps keeps coming up with some new ideas, now we have Topps Now Futures. Finally I discuss how you can make 2019 your best year ever.

On today's show I discuss a variety of topics I've written down over the last few months. I'm going to change my strategy on COMC again, this time pouring more money into the site. I joined the 582 Topps Club, and got an invite to but a $1,000 box as a thank you. Redemption cards are a Ponzi scheme and Topps, Panini, etc all participate. I give an update on my Amazon/eBay sales for 2018 and I tell you how my strategy will change in 2019.

Ryan talks with Dan from Mojobreak, Rich from Layton Sports Cards, Karvin Cheung from GTS, Erik Newton of Hall of Fame Baseball Cards and Adam Martin from DA Card World. 

Ryan talks with Michael Roche, one of the attorneys representing Kevin Brashear in a class action lawsuit filed against Panini America. 

Ryan talks with Mike, owner of Lower Level Sports Cards and Collectibles of Winnipeg, Canada. A wide ranging discussion about the business of running a store, the market for cards in Winnipeg and what products sell well. 

Ryan from Sports Card Radio talks with Upper Deck President Jason Masherah and Sr Manager of Customer Experience Chris Carlin.

All the major card makers have some sort of “Guarantee” on the back of autograph & memorabilia trading cards. For example on the back of one Tyler Eifert autograph/jersey card I have it states: “The enclosed event-worn material and autograph are guaranteed by Panini America Inc” However, upon searching the internet for this guarantee, I could only find reference to Panini Authentic items (which are typically memorabilia like basketball, shoes, etc - not trading cards). Don't most companies put their “guarantees” in writing? Just search the internet for companies you know that guarantee something - and you'll find a place on the their website which describes the circumstances the guarantee applies to. If Panini puts the autograph sticker on upside-down - does the guarantee apply? If Dak Prescott (allegedly) has cards stolen from him that are then auto-penned and sold online - does the “guarantee” apply then? Is the guarantee for the authenticity of the autograph - or for the quality - or both? How am I supposed to know when Panini (and likely other companies) don't state this on a website? We discuss this topic and more.

The Mistake By The Lake hosts this years 2018 National Sports Collectors Convention. There's a line out the door, VIP tickets are sold out - but dealers, employees and those working the show are hot under the collar. Ryan describes some heated moments at the Topps Booth - and the Blowout Sports Cards booth. Problem for them, there's a long list of hobby "insiders" who have fallen on hard times directing heat at Sports Card Radio. We discuss trashing on Mike Smeth from Cardboardconnection, Mark Sapir at Topps, Josh Cade (Uber Driver), Breakers, and more. 

The Sports Card Show is now in its 10th year recording podcasts! Thank you to everyone that has listened over the years. On today's show we discuss the Topps MLB Exclusive licence being renewed. We discuss in general the state of card quality when in comes to photographs. We talk about how Panini has added several exclusive licenses in here in the US - but sales at the company haven't gone up. We talk briefly about the 2018 National Sports Collectors Convention in Cleveland - more on that event on the next show. Finally we discuss having balance in your collecting life - so you don't all-out quit and leave the hobby forever.

There are a few sports card podcasts that have either re-booted or just started. One is the Mojobreak podcast, the other is About The Cards. On today's show we discuss what will happen to 2018 Topps Baseball products now that it appears Ohtani is likely out for the season. I play a clip from a previous show that predicted the future. Mike Trout is one of the best baseball players of all time - what will happen to his card values over time? Which cards will be the most collectible even after he plays? We then briefly discuss the NBA draft & offseason. 

The Sports Card Show Podcast returns from a few months off, I explain what I've been up to. (8:30 Time Mark) The 1st round of the 2018 NFL Draft happened the night I recorded this podcast, so I talk about the 5 QB's that were selected. (35:40 Time Mark) Angles' Pitcher/Hitter Shohei Ohtani is playing like a mega-star and his baseball cards are on fire - with gasoline poured on top. I've seen MANY hot prospects in my days ranging from Will Clark, Ken Griffey Jr, Ichiro, Albert Pujols, Derek Jeter, Mike Trout …. ect - Ohtani's cards are reaching levels we've never seen before. I talk about the people that could stand to make a lot of money this season in the baseball card market - and I don't think it will be the people who are trying to pull his cards. (48:12 Time Mark) I talk about how I'm going to prospect some NBA cards over the summer since most people will be on Ohtani and other stuff. (57:57 Time Mark) I talk about Brian Gray (Leaf Trading Cards) un-blocking me on Twitter. Finally I talk about how I don't invest 100% of my assets in the stock market recently and why. 

A Bloomberg article indicates Topps might be changing owners soon. We break down the information with @SportsCardNews on a BREAKING NEWS podcast. Read the full show notes on Sports Card Radio.

On today's podcast we discuss the 3 sports card "manufacture" conferences that will be happening during the first two months of the year. Upper Deck, Topps and Beckett will be holding these conferences - which one should you go to if any? Topps recently released 2017 Topps Transcendent Baseball, a product with a $27,000 price tag. Given there are 87 boxes made - that means Topps is asking the card community to fork over $2.35M during a time when we are buying gifts for others (or yourself like me haha). I think a product like this can be a regular release, however Topps' timing could be improved. During our annual New Year's Resolutions segment, I hand out advice for Panini, Topps, and Upper Deck for 2018. Finally on our Make America Great Again segment, I discuss my process to finding good stocks, I give you some podcasts I listen to and we discuss how you can make the new tax bill work for you.

On today's show we discuss a few topics as we approach the holiday gift giving season. First we discuss the Player Worn vrs Game Worn. While this is a discussion we've had before, "high end" expensive products are seeing far more player worn material cards than ever before. Is this a good direction for the hobby to go down? How does this impact new collectors? What can the card companies do to explain this better to new collectors? Next we discuss Brian Gray from Leaf Trading Card's appearance on Beckett Radio. Gray said some things that contradict his claim that he can authenticate an athlete's signature from a distant photo on eBay. Gray's request to appear on the Sports Card Show Podcast was ignored, and he's actually fortunate we did so - because we would have pressed him on his ridiculous statements, unlike the other podcast hosts that come & go in this hobby. Next we talk about COMC and some of the small changes they've made. We discuss how there appears to be no slowdown in site traffic/sales - which we said wouldn't slow down after some minor fee increases. We are anticipating more robust fee changes sometime in 2018 and I speculate how you can take advantage of those changes. Our Make America Great Again segment is really an ECON101 lesson. It's painfully obvious the vast majority of the country has very little idea about Economics, which is more of a stain on the educational system - which will teach you finger painting & basket weaving - before how to actually analyze the economy. I talk about some of the myths about the economy and who you should listen to if you want advice. Being financially stable is a goal of almost anyone I meet - unfortunately most of you don't listen to the right sources on how to achieve this, which is why you won't be successful unless you change your mindset - or get help.

On today's podcast we touch on a wide variety topics around the sports card world and in the world of politics. First we discuss all the new card sets being released on a daily basis during the last half of the year. It's honestly got to be really hard to manage your cash flow - no matter if you are a dealer or a collector with this many releases coming out. I honestly think it would be wise to specialize in a particular niche - and look to expand into markets that require less cash-flow management like the new card market requires.  I purpose that there be some kind of Group Break Trade Association. Pretty much every industry has one, from Fantasy Sports, to the NRA - like minded people can come together often for the common good. I think group breakers could join forces and create standardize rules & possibly make it a better experience for the consumers who buy into breaks. I give a quick update on my Amazon, eBay and COMC account sales. Honestly I'm saving most of this discussion for my new podcast at PowerSellingRadio.com - so check it out if you haven't already. I should have another podcast posted later this month.  2017/18 Panini Prizm first off the line NBA baseball box sales literally made Panini's website crash because there was so much demand. While I think the demand was a good sign for Panini - and the basketball card market in general, I saw a lot of negative reaction on Twitter & the Blowoutcard Forums of people who were rightfully frustrated with the buying experience. I share my idea for Panini next time they think they could have this kind of demand - and how it could lead to more sales & less frustration from collectors. Sports Card Radio hired a full time employee. He's doing a great job - if you've noticed 3-4 new articles are being posted each day. That should continue for the foreseeable future.  2018 Football should be really good. I fully anticipate Josh Rosen from UCLA being the #1 QB on the board, followed by Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and Sam Darnold. I see a scenario where all 4 QB's could be selected in the top 10 picks - and possibly in the top 5 if there aren't any other impact players on the board (I honestly am not sure). It should lead to very strong sales of 2018 NFL football cards because I could see each QB being valued at over $100 each for autographs.  Lastly, our Make America Great Again segment, I talk about how you can follow the negative news on Trump .... or decide that you are going to make the most of the things you can. His tax reform bill (if passed) could honestly make you wealthy if you listen to the right people. Remember - 95% of Barack Obama's income gains benefited the 1%. You really think Donald Trump will be any different?? That means you can benefit if you know how to think/act like the 1%. If you only read/digest the negative news, I'm willing to bet you will see those negative things happen to you. Only you decide your outcome, not Donald Trump.

On today's show we have a very special guest - Ryan from @SportsCardNews. When he comes on the show outside his annual appearance during the National Sports Collectors Convention … you know something BIG has happened. Something so stupid and preposterous, that we have to bring him on the show to discuss it. Recently NBA superstar and rapper Damian Lillard was on Twitter proclaiming an autograph a seller was offering was indeed fake. Lillard commented on the social media platform twitter via his account with over 1 million followers that the autograph in question was fake TWICE. It's rare to have an athlete respond to fans, let alone about an autograph being real or fake. Lillard did this TWICE in one day regarding the same item.  Then Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) and Leaf Trading cards had the audacity to claim Lillard was wrong about his own signature. Beckett even asked Lillard via the social media platform to take A THIRD LOOK at the item! The following day, both Beckett AND Leaf spread the #FakeNews that Lillard had deleted the two tweets where he claimed the autos were fake. In fact Lillard DID NOT delete the tweets - it was the seller of the (fake) autograph (Joel Alpert) who deleted his tweet with a link to the item! On today's show - consider this a declaration of war against this ignorant and arrogant card manufactures and “authenticators” that think they know a signature better than the man himself. This podcast serves as the initial shot across the bow against their LIES & DECEPTION! We are SICK AND TIRED of these companies thinking they can spread false claims across this hobby, and we feel this does the hobby harm.  Get ready for an explicit laced show where we BLAST Beckett, Leaf, Joel Alpert and more.

Initially I thought this would be a shorter show, ended up being about the same length as usual. Talk about Panini's "First Off The Line" offering. Topps Baseball has been on FIRE! Almost all releases are out of stock at distributors - showing strong demand across the board. I hit $10,000+ in Amazon sales in only my 2nd full month selling. Why I think September will be flat or lower. My COMC account I started in June 2015 with $100 has 40% cash. The white jewish media had you all up in arms about 'white on white' crime .... but what about all the black on black crime? I started a new podcast about online marketing & selling products online - check it out at www.powersellingradio.com

The annual tradition continues! On today's show we talk to Ryan @SportsCardNews about the 2017 National Sports Collectors Convention being held in Chicago, IL. The show is JAMED packed this year and it seems like sports cards is really in a good place with collectors around the country. You'd think breakers, dealers, and shops would be rolling in the money because of all the customers pouring through the doors - but many are facing challenges of scaling up their business beyond where it's been the last few years. One company that has a scalable business model is COMC - and it seems like they are still expanding at a rate that isn't experienced by many in this industry. We discuss some of the stuff going on their and how we are bullish on that websites future. We discuss the Dak Prescott auto-pen situation, and have reliable sources confirming where the auto-pen actually came from. Hint: you might want to take a closer look at your Tony Romo & Troy Aikman “autographs”. We discuss how group breakers seem stuck in the slow lane - and how we predicted that business model has a ceiling that is nearly impossible to break through. We each give an update on Amazon FBA sales. Hint: they are explosive. I tell you what I'm going to buy with my Amazon FBA profits in a few months. Hint: not a piece of cardboard with a man's photo on it. We take multiple victory laps about calls we've made about the stock market, Aaron Judge being good, different sports card business models failing, Panini's “VIP” party featuring paper plates & napkins. etc. Overall, the hobby seems to be experiencing the effects of a healthy economy & job market, but few dealers (outside the vintage only guys & COMC) really seem to be cashing in big time. One thing is for sure - we'll be seeing you all again next year so enjoy this annual tradition.

This week we discuss the Dak Prescott "Auto Pen" scandal involving Panini America. We discuss the language in contracts signed by other Panini signers - and why it places all responsiblity on Panini. We discuss why Dak Prescott might have done this, and why it might not make sense to have used an auto-pen. Beckett Grading certainly comes out smelling like roses, as they essentially turned away business for the sake of authenticating. Later on in the show I give you an Amazon FBA update - including the first few hours of Amazon Prime Day. If this is any preview of how the holidays will go, it's going to be an explosive Christmas season for me selling on Amazon. I discuss my trip to Las Vegas, blocking Panini butt kissers on Twitter, and more.

Today's show highlights COMC's recent fee changes. Some fees went up, some actually went down. It demonstraits a shift in the market COMC is trying to go after. The company has a massive moat around their 'low-end' card business - it's unlikely any challenger will emerge to take that business away from them. So in order to capture the market COMC has less of (higher-end cards) the company has adjusted fees to encourage/discourage certain cards from being sent in. We discuss if the alternatives are better, or if paying the extra 20% to list a card is worth it. We discuss why liberal politicians in Washington state might be to blame. I discuss why anyone with any investment savvy would salivate over COMC's business model - but scoff at UD/Topps/Panini/Leaf's business. I give an Amazon FBA update. I update my $100 COMC card sales. I try to encourage all these guys living at home with mom to get some new skills and earn more money. I'm doubtful many are capable of pulling that off - but I tried. 

With the sports world on hold with only MLB being in action - there's not too much going on around the hobby. So on this podcast we take a break from the normal card talk and discuss some sustainable ways to make money in this hobby. Surprisingly the two best ways I can think of almost never involve touching the cards. During our segment on Amazon - I discuss some of the ways you can make money on Amazon, and I give specific ways to make money with websites. If you don't enjoy selling stuff online, this episode is probably not for you. Anyone looking to expand their online money making empire should listen up since there's lots of good info in this podcast.

We have a jammed packed edition of the sports card show podcast where we discuss multiple topics that have happened in the sports card hobby over the last few months. Blowout cards was hacked and their reaction was typical. Panini left patrons of the Industry Summit hanging with no black boxes. A 1/1 card was released that had Mitchell & Ness tags - which probably can't even be player worn, let alone game worn, as the card indicated. We discuss sending your cards into COMC. A breaker blatantly stole cards on camera. Our off topic/make america great again segments covers my best tax write-off this year + welcome to LA Lavar & Lonzo Ball!! 

We cover multiple topics in this 'comeback' edition of the Sports Card Show podcast. We discuss what areas of the baseball card market that are booming. Could that include 1990's 'junk wax' era cards as well? I give you an update on my $100 COMC account and what I did to generate $70+ in sales last month. I give 3 specific NFL 2 year players that I like - one I will be buying cards of soon. We briefly discuss the NFL combine. Finally we close out with some business idea around estate sales & garage sale finds. Lastly our Make America Great segment talks about how I'm willing to pay more for my fruit/veggies if it meant higher wages. 

An extended episode of the Sports Card Show Podcast, where we touch on 8 different topics.
