Tuesday is occasionally reserved for the bizarre, and we've got that for you today. The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental program, often with programs that defied conventional tropes. Originally broadcast in April 1956, "The Record Collectors" is an over-the-top satire hosted by John Dehner. The program introduces two eccentric (and fictional) record collectors who are convinced that music peaked with 78 RPM records. As they spar with real-life musical guests including Margaret Whiting and Lynn Murray, they take aim at all the latest innovations of that day, including high fidelity sound, LP records, and just about everything else.

The conversation gets deeper as David Novak joins Jeremy Lee and David Chase for a spirited discussion about sports cards as investments, generational attitudes toward risk, and whether collectors should view cardboard as part of a broader financial strategy. David shares his perspective on why some millennials are more willing to take calculated risks with their investment portfolios, sparking an engaging debate on retirement accounts, diversification, risk tolerance, and the role sports cards can play alongside traditional investments. Topics include: • Are sports cards legitimate investments?• Millennials and risk-taking behavior• Using hobby knowledge as an investment advantage• 401(k)s, retirement planning, and alternative assets• Why some collectors prefer blue-chip cards over prospecting• Vintage versus ultra-modern investing• The dangers of chasing hype• Mahomes, Ohtani, Trout, Judge, LeBron, Crosby, and long-term collectability• Bubbles within the hobby market• Why experience and time horizon matter Jeremy, David Novak, and David Chase bring different perspectives to one of the hobby's most debated topics: whether sports cards belong in an investment portfolio and, if so, how.

Most people think opportunity in the hobby comes from knowledge.Know the player.Know the card.Know the market.Those things matter.But as the sports card industry becomes more sophisticated, another asset is becoming more valuable than ever: trust.In this episode of Hobby Jobs, Brett explores why reputation has become one of the most important forms of leverage in the hobby. From eBay authentication to Veriswap's focus on secure trading, the industry's biggest companies are investing in trust infrastructure because trust drives transactions.Brett breaks down the three ledgers that shape your reputation, why attention and trust are not the same thing, and how the best operators build careers through accumulated proof rather than short-term visibility.The episode also examines what current job openings at Sotheby's, Veriswap, CardCollector2, and Collectors reveal about where the hobby is headed and why the future belongs to people who can translate collector behavior into business value.If you're building a business, pursuing a career in the hobby, or looking for your next opportunity, this episode is for you.

At some point, every serious collector learns the same lesson:You can wait for the perfect copy.Or you can own the card.This week, Pack and Brett discuss how scarcity changes collecting decisions.When a card only surfaces once every few years, grades start to matter less and ownership starts to matter more.The conversation spans: Rare cards versus perfect grades The psychology of chasing low-pop football cards Why some cards never stay available for long Market observations from the Midwest Monster Black Finite sales and football card demand Andre Johnson versus Calvin Johnson Tom Brady's market strength Madden nostalgia and football culture The longer you collect, the more you realize that some opportunities don't come around twice.I would lean toward the first title. It has a story built into it and connects directly to the Frank Gore moment, which is the most memorable moment in the episode.Check out Card Ladder the official data partner of Stacking SlabsFollow The Football Card Podcast on Instagram for memes and stuff.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeGet exclusive content, promote your cards, and connect with other collectors who listen to the pod today by joining the Patreon: Join Stacking Slabs Podcast PatreonSign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | TiktokFollow Pack: | Instagram ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
The conversation moves beyond cards and into something deeper: how collectors with completely different motivations can still share the same hobby. As the debate over collecting versus investing continues, the panel explores the role of perspective, bias, identity, and why so many hobby disagreements stem from people approaching sports cards in fundamentally different ways. The discussion touches on the Hobby Spectrum, the relationship between purists and investors, and the importance of understanding other viewpoints without needing to adopt them yourself. It's a thoughtful and fitting conclusion to one of the most philosophical Sports Cards Live episodes in recent memory. Sports cards is a lifestyle.

The discussion sparked by the Jackie Robinson patch card purchase evolves into a much larger conversation about money, risk, and the purpose of collecting. Are sports cards investments? Should collectors think about future value when making purchases? Is there ever a situation where going into debt for a card makes sense? Jeremy, David Chase, Chris McGill, and Joshua Adams explore the differences between collecting for enjoyment, collecting for financial gain, and the increasingly blurred line between the two. The result is one of the most spirited philosophical debates of the night. Sports cards is a lifestyle.

Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so farJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansPeople can ask it like small talk, but it can land like a verdict: “Where do you really come from?” I'm joined by Vika & Linda for a candid chat about how that question followed them through primary school in suburban Melbourne and eventually became the heart of their ninth studio album, Where Do I Come From? We unpack why the song speaks to identity and belonging, and why it still feels urgent in conversations about immigration, heritage, and what “Australian” looks like today. We also go behind the scenes of the title track video, created with filmmaker Ky Belling, using archival footage and fan-submitted family photos that spotlight Australia's migrant story in a way that feels intimate and unmistakably real. Vika & Linda share how decades of harmony work and backing vocals shaped their discipline, and why stepping forward to tell their own story now feels like the right time. Along the way, we talk touring life (yes, a 46-date national tour), raising kids while living on the road, and one of the most high-pressure moments any singer can face: performing the national anthem live at the AFL. We also get into the songwriting themes that make this their most personal record yet, plus the collaborators who helped shape it, including Mark Seymour of Hunters & Collectors. If you love Australian music podcasts, songwriter interviews, and stories that tell the truth, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review so more people can find it.What are Vika & Linda up to at the moment?

On this week's Sports Cards Live, Jeremy Lee and Joe Poirot kick off another four-hour hobby marathon with a discussion that cuts right to the heart of collecting. Should historic jerseys, bats, and memorabilia be preserved intact for future generations, or is there value in transforming them into trading cards that allow more collectors to own a piece of history? The conversation explores preservation, cultural identity, private ownership, museums, memorabilia cards, and what responsibility collectors may have as stewards of the hobby's past. The guys also preview the newly released National Sports Collectors Convention floor plan, and set the stage for the return of one of the hobby's most talked-about stories.

Could ticket collecting be where sports cards were years ago? Jeremy Lee, David Chase, and Howard Citron dive deep into one of the hobby's most fascinating and fastest-growing categories. From debut tickets and historic moments to full tickets versus stubs, the conversation explores why more collectors are turning their attention toward pieces of history that were never meant to survive. Along the way, the discussion touches on rarity, grading, collecting versus investing, and whether some of the most important tickets in sports history remain dramatically underappreciated. Plus, Howard shares one of the most significant Wayne Gretzky tickets ever discovered and explains why ticket collectors are so passionate about preserving moments rather than simply collecting cardboard. If you've ever wondered what makes a ticket collectible, this episode is for you.

Tony's officially on summer break and his brain is already untethered. This week Mike and Tony cover the important stuff: fresh ink (Goku, no titties), dying languages held together by two people who refuse to speak to each other, a caterpillar wearing its victims like a Halloween costume, a mysterious metal orb that may or may not respond to Sanskrit, and the slow death of the National Enquirer — because reality got weirder than they could. Also: knees, toothbrushes, and the terrifying math of how fast summer disappears. Episode 279. Fully in the bag.

The Mandalorian and Grogu movie has arrived! How did it perform? Was it the best movie Lucasfilm has released since Rise of Skywalker? Of course! It's the ONLY Star Wars movie released since that one in 2019! Maul: Shadow Lord's first season is over and we know there will be a season two, but Ahsoka might not end after it's sophomore season. We have to wait for 2027 to find out and by that time, we'll be gearing up for another Star Wars movie!There's gaming news on Knights of the Old Republic and the spiritual successor, Fate of the Old Republic. Eclipse seems to need developers, which means it isn't cancelled. Collectors have lots to collect, like LEGO sets and Hasbro figures and there's even a chance someone can bring home Grogu (for the right price).There's a new ride mode in Galaxy's Edge and new planets to visit, new merchandise in the stalls of Batuu and a new show on the spires. Two legends in the Star Wars space pass into the Force and we have another "word" for you this month.Feel free to take part in contributing ideas and commenting on our podcasts on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, on Facebook, through Amazon's podcast portal, or even on Discord.

You've identified the problem you solve (Part I) and defined your first product (Part II). Before you can sell anything, you need to collect an audience.This episode walks through building your "collectors" — the places where potential customers find you, raise their hand, and give you permission to keep talking to them. We build the entire infrastructure live using AI.Five years ago, this setup would have cost $3,000-$15,000 upfront: a web developer, email software like MailChimp, and a marketing consultant. Today, the total cost is about $32 — a $12 domain registration and $20/month for AI tools. Hosting through Vercel or Netlify is free. Email through Resend is free for up to 3,000 emails a month. Facebook groups are free.This episode covers registering a domain name, building a one-page website with an email collector using a copy-and-paste AI prompt, setting up a public Facebook group with a strategic intake question, and defining the one call to action that ties everything together.The deeper benefit: when you build it yourself with AI, you understand every piece. You can change your headline at midnight, update your email sequence without a support ticket, and move at the speed of your own decisions.The barrier to starting a business isn't money or a team anymore. It's willingness to learn the tools.Free website builder prompt and Part II worksheet available in the show notes.Next episode: Part IV — your first marketing post and social media setup.
Use code "SCI" at ARENACLUB.COMA massive 10-million-card backlog has forced PSA to officially shut down all value-level submission tiers, effective immediately. Today on Cards on the Table, T-Pot, Scotty B, and Carter break down the shocking news and analyze exactly what this means for the hobby. With regular service ($79.99) now the cheapest available option, we discuss the ripple effect this will have on box prices, modern "rip and flip" strategies, and the vintage card market.Plus, we cover the rest of the week's biggest hobby news, including the record-breaking $5.11 million private sale of the Victor Wembanyama Prizm Black 1/1 (the "Black Curtain"), and the ongoing packaging issues with eBay's Authenticity Guarantee program.In this episode, we discuss:The PSA Shutdown: Analyzing the 10-million-card backlog driven by the explosive growth of TCGs (Pokémon and One Piece). We discuss whether PSA's massive expansion will actually solve the issue, how this completely neutralizes the value of the Collectors Club membership, and if alternative grading companies like Beckett, SGC, and CGC can handle the overflow.SGC's Dwindling Market Share: Why SGC's volume is down 70% year-over-year, and what Collectors' acquisition means for the future of the "Tuxedo" slab and the vintage market.Wemby's $5.1 Million Record: The 2023 Panini Prizm Victor Wembanyama Black 1/1 just sold privately for $5.11 million. We compare this massive sale to the Aaron Judge Superfractor Auto, debate if the NBA market is overhyped compared to baseball, and touch on the controversy surrounding the use of Kurt's Card Care prior to the card's grading.eBay Authenticity Flaws: Why are high-end raw cards arriving from the eBay Authenticity Guarantee program sliding out of their semi-rigid holders? We debate simple fixes and why the program is still a massive net positive for the hobby despite packaging flaws.How do you think PSA's shutdown of value submissions will impact the sports card market over the next 12 months?

In this episode of Future Focused: Sophisticated Estate Planning, host Michael Clear welcomes Kenley Stark, Counsel in the Private Client Services Department at Wiggin and Dana, for an in-depth conversation about the complex lifecycle of art ownership. Together, they delve into the many stages collectors face—from the initial acquisition to the eventual sale or transfer—revealing how each step brings its own set of complex legal, financial, and logistical challenges that go far beyond the simple act of buying art. Michael and Kenley emphasize the necessity of thoroughly reviewing sale documentation to safeguard title, ensure authenticity, and understand risk exposure. They also discuss the critical roles of art advisors, the complexities of physically taking possession of art, and why securing the right insurance and storage solutions is essential for protecting both the artwork and the owner's investment.
Every horror fan thinks they're unique... but after decades of watching horror movies, collecting tapes, attending conventions, and arguing online, I've noticed that most of us fall into a few recognizable categories.In this solo episode of The Deep Cut Podcast, Rottin' Roger breaks down some of the most common species of horror fan you'll encounter in the wild. From Gorehounds chasing the next extreme shock film, to Slasher Fanatics who can name every masked killer from every forgotten sequel, to Collectors, Comfort Food Horror Fans, and Horror Historians who treat the genre like a living museum.This is the first installment in what will likely become a multi-part series because there are WAY more horror fan archetypes out there than I could fit into a single episode.So here's the challenge...Which type of horror fan are YOU?Did I nail your category? Did I completely miss one? Drop a comment and let me know what kind of horror fan you are, and suggest a horror fan archetype for Part 2.Subscribe for more weird deep cuts, horror commentary, cult classics, VHS nostalgia, and everything lurking in the shadows of the genre.
Every collector talks about value.But what happens when the card means more to you than the market says it should?In this flagship episode, Brett explores one of the hardest truths in collecting:Can collectors ever fully separate emotional attachment from financial decision making?This conversation digs into the tension between memory and money. Between identity and allocation. Between the card you want and the story you tell yourself about why you want it.Brett breaks down:• Why ownership changes how we value cards• The role identity plays in collecting• How emotional attachment impacts buying and selling• Why collectors blur the line between investment and personal collection• The danger of unexamined emotion• A system to help collectors make cleaner decisions without losing the passion that makes the hobby matterThis is not an episode about removing emotion from collecting.It's about understanding it before it controls you.If you've ever overpaid for a card because it felt important…Held onto something longer than you should have…Or convinced yourself a purchase was “smart” when it was really personal…Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Check out the Northeast Sports Card Expo in Marlborough, Mass June 26-28, 2026Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet 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 ★

Dr. Beckett shares a hobby dinner conversation from the Watter's Creek Show with out-of-town collectors discussing how rising wax prices and the growth of breakers have affected the hobby, and whether breaking is good or bad. Guests recount their collecting origins, from inheriting older brothers' cards to buying singles instead of packs, and one collector's focus on Star basketball with questions about how many high-value cards remain ungraded. The group also explores the lack of cultural diversity in collecting and efforts like Anthony Devine's Rise program. They debate Fanatics/Topps “wave” releases, dynamic pricing, allocation, single licenses, and whether today's box prices are sustainable. Additional topics include grading and consignment backlogs, potential AI/automation, investor-driven flipping vs true collecting, and the changing landscape of card shops and shows. 00:34 Collector Origins and Breaking 01:20 Upper Deck Career and Diversity 03:32 Star Cards and Grading Odds 06:37 Future Wax Box Prices 10:58 AI and Robotics in the Hobby 12:50 Collectors vs Flippers Debate 14:29 Nostalgia Pulls and Blank Backs 16:41 Sealed Wax and Store Boom

PSA just announced massive extensions to their turnaround times, sparking fears that the grading giant might be forced to shut down its value tiers—a move that historically preceded a major card market decline in 2021. Today, we break down PSA's staggering $200 million expansion plan and ask the ultimate question: If PSA halts submissions again, will the entire sports card market crash?Alongside the PSA grading crisis, we are tackling the most polarizing topics in the hobby right now. We discuss a controversial new card show policy that completely bans the sale of retail sealed wax to combat flippers, analyze Victor Wembanyama's explosive market surge after taking Game 1 from the Thunder, and debate whether "eye appeal" grading designations actually add financial value to modern 1/1 sports cards.In this episode, we cover:The PSA Grading Crisis: Why PSA drastically shifted Value Bulk turnaround times to 140–160 business days and increased submission minimums to 50 cards. We analyze whether Collectors' massive $200 million investment (adding 800,000 sq ft. and 1,000 new jobs) will be enough to prevent a total service pause.Banning Retail Flippers: Maryland's Feel Good Gaming Show recently banned vendors and attendees from buying and selling current retail sealed wax. We debate if this is a brilliant move to save the show experience, or if it misses the mark entirely—and whether sports card shows should adopt it.Wemby's Market Explosion: Victor Wembanyama's card market is up 85% year-over-year with nearly 1,000 sales a day. Following massive $500K+ sales for his National Treasures Logoman 1/1 and Revolution Green Kaboom 1/1, we discuss if he is officially overtaking Shohei Ohtani as the face of the modern hobby.The Modern "Eye Appeal" Debate: Does an MBA Gold eye-appeal sticker actually matter on a 1/1 modern card? We break down the $838,750 Heritage auction sale of the 2013 Bowman Chrome Aaron Judge Superfractor and discuss if the hobby is thinking about eye appeal all wrong.Dive into the data and join the conversation in the comments section with your take on PSA's new turnaround times and Wembanyama's historic market run.First time customers use promo code: SCI at ArenaClub.comShop CardsHQ Inventory Online ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqTrack card prices & your collection with Market Movers ►: https://bit.ly/marketmoversappJoin CardsHQ Breaks on Whatnot ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqbreaksJoin CardsHQ Shop on Whatnot ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqshopJoin CardsHQ Blitz on Whatnot ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqblitzJoin CardsHQ Hoops on Whatnot ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqhoopsJoin CardsHQ Poke on Whatnot ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqpokeDiscounted PSA/SGC Card Grading ►: https://bit.ly/gradingserviceDownload our Apps!SCI App (Apple) ►: https://apple.co/3riGbb5SCI App (Google) ►: https://bit.ly/SCIAPPGooglePlayFollow Us:SCI Instagram ►: https://bit.ly/SCIIGSCI Twitter ►: https://bit.ly/scitweetsSCI Facebook ►: https://bit.ly/FBSCIPageGeoff's IG ►: https://bit.ly/itsgeoffwilsonGeoff's YouTube ►: https://bit.ly/ytgeoffCard Crew YouTube ►: https://bit.ly/cardcrewMarket Movers YouTube ►: https://bit.ly/marketmoversyt
