Podcasts about collectors

These aren't daily watches for first-time buyers or people chasing hype. These are the daily watches serious collectors actually keep. In this video, we break down the luxury watches that make sense long-term once you're playing at a higher level, not the loudest pieces, but the ones you don't feel the urge to replace six months later.OUR CHRONO24 STORE: https://www.chrono24.com/dealer/warriortime/

Dr. Beckett covers recent mail, hobby questions, industry topics, and discusses Upper Deck boxes he recently received: 2025-26 SP Game Used hockey and 2026 Upper Deck Golf (marketed around the 25th anniversary of their inaugural 2001 golf release). He reflects on Beckett's original 2001 agreement with Upper Deck to produce a golf card magazine with price guide to support the original golf set launch and Tiger Woods' first pack-pulled card, noting the magazine and products looked great but the category wasn't as successful as hoped and hence was overproduced. He also discusses Non-Sport Update magazine's demise, mentions the Toser family (Roxanne and Marlon), son Harris Toser, and first editor Chris Benjamin, and explains why he didn't acquire it earlier, noting it was later acquired by his successors around 2016 and suggesting Collectors could now potentially revive or divest the brand.   00:28 Opening Upper Deck Hockey Box 01:35 Upper Deck Golf Anniversary 04:53 Buyer Intent at Shows 05:55 My One Percent Monthly Goal 06:35 Old School Philly Show Story 07:54 Non Sport Update Farewell 09:16 How I Work Dollar Boxes      

Despite what we're told, websites are not obsolete. Curators still look at them. Gallerists still look at them. Collectors still look at them. Commissioners still look at them.  Quietly. Carefully. Often before they ever contact you. Your website is where people go when they're deciding whether to take you seriously. Social media shows momentum. Websites show coherence. If your website feels overwhelming, messy, neglected, or like a project you keep putting off, that doesn't mean you're behind. It usually means you've skipped a step.   Most artists jump straight to design. Templates. Platforms. Fonts. Colours. And they do it before they've made the harder, quieter decisions. What actually belongs on here? What am I ready to stand behind? What story am I telling now, not five years ago?  So, today´s episode isn't about redesigning your website. It's about preparing for it.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Artist websites still matter - curators, gallerists, commissioners, and collectors actually use them.  Your website isn't dead. It's quietly doing its job when the right people are paying attention. Your website is not a performance space, but a catalogue of your strongest thinking. It is not an archive. This is a selection of your best work - If someone only ever saw this work, they should understand the kind of artist you are. I don't want anyone landing on your site and thinking, well, now what? So, decide before you design how people can connect with you. This episode is about deciding what needs to be included on your site. The next one is about shaping. BEST MOMENTS “Ask yourself something important - if someone only saw these pieces, would they understand what kind of artist I am?” “Have a portrait image of yourself, ideally in your studio or somewhere that feels human. Smiley helps, warm helps, approachable helps. People want to know who they're connecting with. They don't need mystery here.” “A blank contact page with just an email address or an Instagram handle doesn't feel welcoming. It feels like a closed door.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.The FigGuys are back with Episode 93 — and this one hits everything: WrestleMania hype, Hall of Fame emotion, next-gen gaming excitement, collector debates, and one of the wildest Abyss admissions ever made on this show.

EPISODE 350 - Clark and Hyung start the show by trying to guess what the $50 million card that Kevin O'Leary will be unveiling on Feb. 27 could be.Then for Hobby Headlines, they discuss some of the implications for the hobby with these super high-end sales taking place including the recent sale of the $16.5 million Pikachu Illustrator. Are mid-tier card collectors being priced out? Will institutional money and high net worth collectors ruin the hobby? Or do we all need to deal with this new reality? Then they play a fun round of Over/Under ($100K is the magic number this time!) before ending the episode with their regular weekly segment called "Pick 1."--------------------------CONNECT WITH US!Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@cardstothemoon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@fivecardguys⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Clark) | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yntegritysportscards⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Hyung) | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tradeyouatrecess⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (John)Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fivecardguys.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Auctions (w/ affiliate links): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fivecardguys.com/dailyauctions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you have any questions about the hobby that you would like addressed, email us at hello@fivecardguys.com or DM us on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@cardstothemoon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@fivecardguys⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Esperanza and Irwin have discussed horticulture on the east end before. Tree collecting, while related, is a bit different. In the early 70's Alfonso A. Ossorio, the artist and sugar magnate, began amassing thousands of rare specimens of evergreens on his 60-acre estate, the Creeks. Horticulturists and tourists have come from all over the world to visit his arboretum. Ben Heller, the real-estate investor and art collector and dealer, also collected rare and beautiful trees, and Warner Leroy filled 60 acres in Amagansett. More obsession than hobby perhaps, but a fascinating peek into a world not often discussed.

The Thread Collectors (Harper Collins, 2022) by Shaunna J Edwards and Alyson Richman takes readers to 1863, where, in a small Creole cottage in New Orleans, an ingenious young Black woman named Stella embroiders intricate maps on repurposed cloth to help enslaved men flee and join the Union Army. Bound to a man who would kill her if he knew of her clandestine activities, Stella has to hide not only her efforts but her love for William, a Black soldier and a brilliant musician. Meanwhile, in New York City, a Jewish woman stitches a quilt for her husband, who is stationed in Louisiana with the Union Army. Between abolitionist meetings, Lily rolls bandages and crafts quilts with her sewing circle for other soldiers, too, hoping for their safe return home. But when months go by without word from her husband, Lily resolves to make the perilous journey South to search for him. As these two women risk everything for love and freedom during thebrutal Civil War, their paths converge in New Orleans, where an unexpected encounter leads them to discover that even the most delicate threads have the capacity to save us. Loosely inspired by the authors' family histories, this stunning novel will stay with readers for a long time. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

We're back for Episode 302, and Part 1 sets the table for the whole night. Jeremy and Joe Poirot kick things off with a West Coast Card Show recap, what it's like seeing the hobby in person again, and why the best parts of collecting rarely show up in comment sections. Then it's time for a live moment: the Shields Family T206 Honus Wagner ends during the show and the final price catches us off guard. We compare it to the other Wagner running at the same time, talk eye appeal versus back damage, and react to what the result might actually say about the ultra high end market. We also connect the dots to the $16.492M Pokémon Illustrator sale on Golden and pull a few practical insights for sports card collectors, especially the difference between buying for love, buying for investment, and buying for status when money stops behaving like money. Part 1 closes with Joe's West Coast show ritual: the PC audit, the liquidation run, and the consolidation mindset that leads to a major Jackie pickup. Listen now, then make sure you're subscribed because Part 2 moves into Leighton Sheldon and the vintage conversation.

Some people buy bottles to drink now. Some people buy to drink later. Some people buy special bottles to share when special guests are over having a special meal. And some people buy to squirrel away those bottles that they expect they can sell for more money in a few years. How does that affect the marketplace for Mezcal?Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. This episode is hosted by Lou Bank with special guest John Douglass of Pretty Decent, an award-winning Mezcal-focused cocktail bar and a boutique plant shop in Louisville, Kentucky.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it actually take to build a sustainable, global art career in 2026? As the market shifts away from the high-octane speculation of the early 2020s, a new era of radical transparency and artist autonomy is emerging. In this episode, host Ekaterina Popova sits down with visionary curator, collector, and entrepreneur Sonia Borrell to pull back the curtain on what the world's top collectors are looking for right now.

Inside the Conversation The 2026 Market Recalibration: Sonia discusses why "hype" pricing is falling away and how artists can re-emerge by focusing on authentic connections and sustainable growth. The Sovereign Artist: A look at the StudiotoGallery model, where artists maintain full control over their pricing, inventory, and gallery representation. The Power of Positioning: Why your "human filter" and professional presentation matter more to a museum or serious collector than a viral Instagram reel. Global Expansion: Sonia shares her experience bridging the gap between Western creators and major corporate partners and institutions in China. Sustainable Partnerships: How to identify a "human-centric" gallery and why the future of the art world relies on collaborative, shoulder-to-shoulder work. Protecting Your Practice: Practical advice on avoiding scammers, managing mental health in the studio, and staying positive during market shifts.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, Emily features San Francisco wire sculptor Kristine Mays discussing her politically charged exhibition "State of the Union" at Modernism Gallery. Created in response to the uncertainty and division at the beginning of 2025, the show explores themes of American identity, social justice, and individual responsibility through intricate wire sculptures.Kristine walks through several powerful pieces: "This is America," a frayed wire American flag with beads representing blood and tears; "Human Complacency," depicting the see/hear/speak no evil concept; and "Modern Day Lynchings and Hashtag Memorials," featuring hand-embroidered names of Black people killed by police on silk ribbons. Many works incorporate quotes from writers like Audre Lord, whose words "your silence will not save you" inspired Mays to create this body of work as both political statement and personal healing.She traces her creative journey from childhood craft projects with her mother to her current practice working with construction-grade wire. She explains how she creates faceless figures and sculptural garments that allow viewers to project their own stories and recognize loved ones through gesture alone. The meditative quality of working with wire and its durability appeal to her desire to create lasting legacy work.A major milestone: the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture recently acquired her piece "Hush Harbor." Kristine, who has participated in San Francisco Open Studios for over 20 years, credits her "divinely led" journey and her mother's early encouragement to create without fear of failure.About Artist Kristine Mays :Kristine Mays, a San Francisco native has been an exhibiting artist since 1993. She was the Grand Finale Winner in 2015 of the 5th Annual Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series National Competition. This competition not only provided an opportunity to exhibit her work at Art Basel Miami, but she had a solo exhibition at the Scope NYC Art Fair as well, and was also afforded a chance to collaborate on a large scale public mural. Her mural is on the side of the Boom Boom Room in San Francisco on Fillmore and Geary Streets. (It has large wire feathers placed among the portraits that adorn the walls, reflecting the fleeting existence of black jazz musicians in San Francisco.) In 2015 she also participated in the Hearts in San Francisco program, creating a large 400 pound heart for their annual public art installation. The heart spent a few weeks on display in Union Square before going to its final home upon purchase from AT&T.In 2009, Kristine was a featured artist in the San Francisco Art Commission's "Art in Storefronts" pilot program, a project which transformed vacant storefronts and commercial corridors into a destination for contemporary art, bringing a new energy to the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood. A participant in the San Francisco Open Studios program for over 20 years, Kristine has also served on the Board of Directors for ArtSpan-- the Producers of SF Open Studios and has participated on several of their committees. Kristine served as the 2011-2013 artist-in-residence at the Bayview Hunters Point Shipyard in San Francisco. She is a graduate of Lowell High School, received her Bachelor Degree in Arts Administration from DePaul University and has occasionally served as a grant review panelist through the San Francisco Arts Commission.Seeking to create impact and change with her art, Kristine has participated in raising thousands of dollars for AIDS research through the sale of her work by collaborating with organizations like Visual Aid, the San Francisco Alliance Health Project and WE-Actx. Her work has received local and national press including mentions in the San Francisco Chronicle, New York Times, The New York Post, The Washington Post, Source Magazine, Artsy, and the interior design blog Apartment Therapy. She is represented by Simon Breitbard Fine Arts in SF, the Richard Beavers Gallery in Brooklyn and Zenith Gallery in Washington DC.Kristine has participated in programming at the De Young Museum, Museum of African Diaspora (MoAD) and exhibited at the California African American Museum (CAAM) in Los Angeles, CA. Collectors of her work include an eclectic mix of people including Star Wars creator George Lucas and the dearly departed Peggy Cooper Cafritz (who amassed one of the country's largest private collections of African-American art). Her work is displayed in many Bay Area homes and private collections throughout the USA.Visit Kristine's Website:  KristineMays.comFollow Kristine on Instagram: @KristineMaysFor more about Kristine's exhibit, "State of the Union" CLICK HERE--About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

Chris Sarkonak—high school physics and math teacher in Brandon, Manitoba and a PhD student in educational assessment—joins Boz and Sharona to describe his winding journey from traditional grading to standards-based grading, back again, and ultimately toward a student-centered, skills-focused, largely ungraded approach shaped by COVID-era conferencing, Building Thinking Classrooms, and the “ungrading” ecosystem of ideas. Chris shares how removing itemized grades reduced competition and unlocked real collaboration, how he structures learning with labs-first experiences, vertical whiteboards, “note-making” instead of note-taking, and spaced, skills-based check-ins, and how students co-create a “What does a grade look like?” document to anchor end-of-term self-assessment conferences with real criteria—not vibes. The punchline: his expanded, more diverse physics program isn't “watered down”—students match (or beat) prior exam averages, earn strong AP Physics pass rates with minimal traditional test prep, and even crack provincial top-10 rankings in elite national-level contests, prompting colleagues to ask how to make their classrooms work the same way.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

On today's episode of Sports Cards Nonsense, Mike Gioseffi is joined by Ryan Hoge, President of Grading at Collectors, for an exclusive breakdown of the major changes happening at PSA. Ryan explains exactly why price increases and extended turnaround times were necessary, revealing that the primary goal is to intentionally slow down submissions to manage a massive backlog. They discuss how the explosion of TCG cards is impacting sports card grading, the ripple effects this has on SGC and Beckett, and when collectors can realistically expect turnaround times to improve. Beyond the interview, Mike dives into the current state of the market, analyzing the surprising lack of price movement for new Hall of Fame inductees like Drew Brees and Larry Fitzgerald. He also breaks down the post-Super Bowl market, looking at prices for Drake Maye and Sam Darnold while highlighting the quiet rise of Kenneth Walker.

Sworn to Justice (1996) was chosen by friend of the show and Patreon supporter Leigh, and is a prime example of mid-90s direct-to-video action thrillers built around martial arts credentials and late-night cable appeal. Produced by PM Entertainment — a studio known for churning out low-budget, high-concept action films — the movie was designed specifically for the booming VHS rental market rather than theatrical release. Director Paul Maslak leaned into the studio's house style: fast-paced action, neon-lit cityscapes, and a blend of crime, thriller, and exploitation elements. The film was shot quickly and economically, typical of PM's efficient production model, which prioritized practical stunts and tight schedules over polish or prestige.The production's biggest selling point was its lead, Cynthia Rothrock, already a well-established martial arts star with multiple Hong Kong and American action credits. Her real-life fighting background allowed the filmmakers to stage fight scenes with minimal doubles, keeping the choreography grounded and physical. Filming took place largely around Los Angeles, using recognizable streets and interiors to stretch the budget while maintaining a contemporary urban feel. Like many PM Entertainment titles, Sworn to Justice found its audience through home video, cable rotation, and word of mouth, eventually earning cult status among fans of 90s action cinema and martial arts B-movies. Today, it's remembered as a quintessential slice of direct-to-video action filmmaking — scrappy, stylish, and unapologetically of its era.Checkout Leigh on The Movie Vent.If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryA city drowning in crime… a system that's failed… and one woman who's had enough.When the law can't protect the innocent, justice goes underground. Trained to fight, driven by vengeance, and armed with nothing but her fists and her will, one relentless warrior takes the streets by storm — tearing through criminals, conspiracies, and anyone foolish enough to stand in her way.*Sworn to Justice* — no badge… no backup… no mercy.Fun FactsSworn to Justice is often categorized as an “erotic thriller meets martial arts action” hybrid, a niche genre that was surprisingly popular in the mid-1990s video market.The film was released during the peak VHS rental era, when action titles like this regularly outperformed small theatrical releases in video stores.Cynthia Rothrock performs nearly all of her own fight choreography, showcasing authentic Tang Soo Do and karate techniques rather than stylized wire work.The movie blends martial arts with noir-style detective elements, giving it a darker tone compared to Rothrock's earlier Hong Kong films.Several supporting cast members were real stunt performers, which helped make the fight scenes feel more physical and less choreographed.The film developed a late-night cable TV following on networks like USA Network and HBO Zone throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s.Rothrock fans often rank this among her most “adult-oriented” American roles, marking a tonal shift from her earlier PG-13 action vehicles.The movie features a synth-heavy 90s action score, typical of direct-to-video thrillers of the era.Collectors consider original VHS and DVD releases of the film minor cult items within martial arts movie circles.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Idaho was the first state to slap a slogan on a license plate, “Idaho Potatoes,” which may not seem like a big deal, but it turns out this idea would end up having outsized consequences, and not just for Idaho. Because what started in one state would soon spread. And when it did, the question of what should go on a license plate, and what shouldn't, would prove surprisingly contentious.

Kissy Face, Drop Hips & Royal Rumble Glory | The FigGuys #090Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.On this episode of The FigGuys, the wrestling figure podcast for collectors and fans, Mike and Tom dive deep into the WWE Ultimate Edition Shawn Michaels figure, inspired by HBK's legendary Royal Rumble 1995 victory. From Ultimate Edition articulation and head sculpts to wrestling nostalgia and modern collecting debates, this episode breaks down why this Shawn Michaels release matters — and how it stacks up among the best WWE Mattel figures today.If you're a Shawn Michaels fan, this episode is for you.If you're an Ultimate Edition collector, this episode is definitely for you.Mike and Tom break down what makes this release hit differently, from the unmistakable zebra-print entrance gear to the personality packed into the head sculpts — including the now-legendary “Kissy Face” HBK. It's not just about how the figure looks, but how it poses, how it displays, and whether it finally feels like the right Shawn Michaels body choice in Ultimate form.The discussion leans into the real collector debates: • Are drop hips actually a win for posing? • Which hands matter most when displaying HBK? • Does this release feel like a true legacy Ultimate, or just another great Shawn? • And where does it rank among modern Ultimate Editions?Royal Rumble energy flows through the episode as well, keeping the conversation loose, funny, and unmistakably FigGuys — the kind of talk that feels like hanging out with friends who know exactly why this era of HBK still matters.Then it's time for Ringside Roundup, where the guys hit the latest pre-orders, sellouts, and surprises across the hobby. From hot Ultimate Editions and Legends waves to short-packed Main Event figures, the takes stay honest — including a rare “Passhausen” moment that had the chat buzzing.The episode also gives some love to the Regium Raven head sculpt reveal, earning praise for how close it's already looking, plus a little collector humor along the way — “Quoteth the Mitch Nevermore…” included.And of course, it wouldn't be a FigGuys episode without showing respect to the Big Rubber Guys — including that undeniable shelf presence and ongoing appreciation for the Macho Man Big Rubber Guy, a reminder that sometimes size, nostalgia, and vibe matter just as much as articulation.This episode isn't about hype for hype's sake.It's about why certain figures matter, how they represent eras, and what makes a release feel like more than just another preorder.⸻

In this episode of Superlative, Ariel Adams sits down with Sébastien Chaulmontet, founder and owner of Albishorn Watches and Director of Innovation and Marketing at Sellita, for a wide ranging and candid discussion on the realities of modern watchmaking. Drawing on decades of experience across design, movement development, and independent brands, Sébastien shares insights into chronograph history, the intent behind his book Chronograph for Collectors, and why true mastery in watchmaking requires time, engineering discipline, and long term thinking rather than early hype. Their conversation expands into a deeper critique of speculation culture, investment driven buying, and the pressures placed on independent watchmakers to sell themselves rather than simply make watches. Ariel and Sébastien unpack how pricing, desirability, distribution, and media narratives have reshaped the industry, why most watches are not investments, and why buying a watch you genuinely want to wear remains the only answer that actually holds up over time.Check out:Albishorn Watches - https://albishorn-watches.ch/ Albishorn on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/albishorn_watches SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

In this explosive episode of Patriots With Grit, we sit down with John J. Singleton to expose how Americans are being tracked, traced, and surveilled—through smartphones, apps, cameras, vehicles, and even everyday purchases.Most people think “privacy” means hiding or opting out. John explains why that's a trap—and reveals a lawful, non-traditional strategy that treats your data as valuable property, not a privilege corporations can freely exploit.

Autographed cards are one of the most popular parts of the hobby, but not all autographs are created equal. In this episode, we break down the real differences between sticker autographs and on card autographs, including how each type is signed, why manufacturers use them, and how collectors view them.We discuss which autograph style is preferred, how design and placement can impact appeal, and whether sticker autographs truly hurt value or simply serve a different purpose in the hobby. Whether you are new to collecting or a long time collector, this episode helps you understand what you are really getting when you pull an autographed card.If you have ever wondered why collectors debate sticker autos versus on card signatures, this episode explains it all.https://powerssportsmemorabilia.com/

Why do collectors hesitate to buy art — even when they love your work? In this solo episode of The Art Coaching Club podcast, I'm breaking down why collectors don't buy art, using real conversations I hear again and again from artists inside The Club and in one-on-one coaching. If you've ever thought: “People love my work, but they're not buying” “Maybe my prices are too high” “Maybe my art just isn't good enough” This episode is for you. We'll dig into the art sales psychology behind collector hesitation and talk through what actually stops collectors from buying art — and why it's usually not about talent, trends, or Instagram reach. In this episode, we cover: Why collectors don't buy when they're unsure (not uninterested) The biggest misunderstanding artists have about how collectors decide what to buy Why price often feels unclear, not wrong Why cheap art doesn't sell the way artists think it will How context, confidence, and clarity help collectors move forward What artists misinterpret when collectors go quiet How to guide collectors without pressure or awkwardness Buying art is a luxury decision, not a rational transaction — and understanding that changes everything about how you sell, follow up, and build long-term collector relationships. This episode is especially helpful if you want to: Attract art collectors, not just followers Understand why interest doesn't always turn into sales Sell art with more confidence and professionalism Build a sustainable art career without slashing prices or chasing trends These are the exact conversations we go deeper into inside The Club, where artists learn how to sell their work with clarity, confidence, and integrity — without guessing or burning out.

There was no outline. No talking points. Just a real discussion on what AI means right now for collectors and hobby businesses.This is not an episode about hype or fear.

The conversation touches on speed, trust, human judgment, and why AI works best when it supports people instead of replacing them.If you collect cards, run a hobby business, or want to understand what is changing beneath the surface, this episode will help you think more clearly about what comes next and how to approach AI with intention instead of resistance.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

She left after seven months. Let him keep the house. Let him have the rings. Paid what she owed—with interest. Moved back to Ohio, rebuilt her life, married Spencer, had two children. Her family says Monique never spoke Michael McKee's name after the divorce. She only called him "her ex-husband." She talked about emotional abuse. About torment. That she was always worried. She did everything right.Eight years later, police say he drove 300 miles in the middle of the night and killed her anyway.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines the psychology of someone who allegedly holds onto that kind of rage for nearly a decade. She breaks down what she calls "deep-seated resentment and hate that just built up"—the behavioral profile of a grievance collector who catalogs perceived slights, assigns permanent blame, and never moves on. Watching an ex-spouse build a new family doesn't bring closure for someone like this. It escalates obsessive attachment into violence.The divorce records reveal telling control dynamics. McKee wanted the rings back from a marriage that lasted less than a year. The separation agreement required Monique to reimburse him with interest. Coffindaffer explains what this suggests about ownership and entitlement—someone who demands jewelry back from a seven-month marriage isn't negotiating. They're keeping score.Police labeled this a "targeted domestic violence attack." But there were no prior reports. No restraining orders. No documented threats. Monique's family says the arrest was "not a shock"—they'd suspected McKee from day one but stayed quiet to protect the investigation. The family knew. For eight years. And the system couldn't act until someone was dead.Sometimes doing everything right still isn't enough.#TeepeMurders #MoniqueTepe #MichaelMcKee #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #GrievanceCollector #DomesticViolence #SpencerTepe #IntimatePartnerViolenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A vascular surgeon with no criminal record. A Chicago penthouse. A firearm that police say matches shell casings from a double homicide 300 miles away. And eight years of alleged obsession that ended with Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer dead while their children slept down the hall.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who headed the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—identifies Dr. Michael McKee as a potential "wound collector." These are people who don't move on from perceived injuries. They catalog grievances, assign blame, and carry resentment for years until it explodes. Dreeke breaks down how wound collectors think, how high-functioning professionals mask dangerous resentment, what finally triggers them to act, and how they convince themselves they're the victim. Understanding this psychology might help someone recognize the signs before the next tragedy.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes the forensic evidence. Surveillance footage captured McKee's vehicle arriving before the killings and leaving after. A hooded figure walked through an alley at 3:52 AM. A preliminary NIBIN ballistics match ties a firearm from McKee's penthouse to the crime scene. But the investigation raises questions: how did someone allegedly enter the Tepe home with no forced entry? And why would a surgeon—someone whose entire career is built on precision—allegedly keep the murder weapon in his own apartment for eleven days?Coffindaffer examines the behavioral red flags that emerged months before, including a malpractice process server who tried nine times to locate McKee at addresses that didn't exist. She explains what investigators are holding back, what the defense will exploit, and why waiving extradition might be calculated. McKee maintains his innocence and plans to plead not guilty to two counts of premeditated aggravated murder.#TeepeMurders #MichaelMcKee #WoundCollector #RobinDreeke #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #NIBINJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, I reconnect with Sharone Halevy nearly a year after our collector talk at Superfine (now The Superfair) in San Francisco. Sharone is an abstract expressionist painter who's built her entire practice around commission work and selling directly to collectors without gallery representation. We discuss her transition from theater directing to painting, why she works on sliding scales to make art accessible, and how she uses sound and storytelling to create "tangible memories," paintings that capture how moments felt rather than every detail. Sharone shares her approach to building confidence, why friends and family are your first important collectors, and how she leveraged social media to create direct audience connection. As lead curator and operations manager at The Superfair, Sharone coaches every exhibiting artist on booth curation, pricing strategy, and selling techniques. We discuss the fair's rebrand and refocus on attracting the right buyers rather than massive crowds, and why in-person events matter for artists, especially those in rural areas. We wrap up with Sharone's challenge for the year: find a hobby. Not another income stream or content for social media, something tactile and creative you do purely for joy.   CALL FOR ART: CREATE!
