Podcasts about comps

Dr. Beckett hosts a Father's Day podcast with Jeremy Lee of Sports Cards Live and his father, Harvey, discussing Jeremy's record-setting purchase of a 1914 Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe Jackson card, why it felt emotional but was later validated by other buyers, and the role of due diligence, intuition, and luck. They explore common beginner mistakes, especially collecting in isolation, and emphasize learning through community, podcasts, and longitudinal, multi-variable thinking. Jeremy explains he has no remorse consolidating over 330 cards to fund the grail, and frames mistakes as “tuition,” noting his book Pops and Comps aims to reduce costly errors. Dr. Beckett advises beginners to “wait” before big buys and to buy with “weight” by acquiring larger lots to spread risk, while also addressing impulsivity, market volatility, risk tolerance, and hobby addiction support via Collectors MD.   00:30 Shoeless Joe Record Buy 01:27 Trusting Your Gut 02:22 Beginner Mistakes 03:47 Long Term Thinking 04:48 Consolidation No Regrets 05:24 Mistakes as Tuition 07:27 Wait and Weight Rule 08:49 Rookies and Risk Balance 10:55 Action Now vs Patience 11:38 Addiction and Self Control 12:58 Hobby Spectrum Types

Jeremy Lee, Joe Poirot, David Chase, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams close out Sports Cards Live with a deep conversation about the modern sports card market, the Fanatics Collect Premiere auction, autograph culture, and whether modern collecting is becoming too concentrated around a handful of superstar athletes. The panel breaks down the dominance of players like Shohei Ohtani, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Wembanyama, Steph Curry, Tom Brady, and Kobe Bryant in major auctions, while exploring whether modern cards are beginning to feel repetitive compared to vintage and 1990s collecting.

Jeremy Lee is joined by Jace, Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, Josh Adams, and David Chase for a deep conversation about one of the hobby's most interesting modern dilemmas: should collectors publicly share their want lists and collecting targets? The panel explores the balance between community and competition in today's social media-driven hobby, including the risks and rewards of broadcasting what you collect.

Jeremy, Chris McGill, Joe Poirot, David Chase, and Josh Adams explore: Whether GOAT collecting truly reduces hobby risk Why not all GOAT cards are created equal The difference between hobby relevance and on-court greatness Why Kobe Bryant currently commands enormous hobby attention How consensus shapes hobby demand Whether collectors independently arrive at “GOAT” conclusions or inherit them socially Why cultural influence matters as much as statistics and accolades The conversation becomes increasingly philosophical as Chris McGill breaks down: Groupthink and social consensus in collecting Why iconic cards command premiums How collectors identify hidden value before the broader hobby catches on The concept of “iconic traits without the iconic premium” Why some collectors intentionally search for overlooked cards with elite characteristics Jeremy also reflects on eye appeal, low-grade high-I-appeal cards, contrarian collecting, and the importance of applying hobby concepts to your own lane rather than simply copying others. Later in the episode: Josh Adams discusses owning over 100 copies of the 1990 Leaf Frank Thomas rookie The panel talks about eccentric personal collections and hobby identity Jeremy shares his binder collection of hobby creator cards and custom collectibles Jeremy officially closes the episode by discussing the launch of the new Sports Cards Live Hangover series with the Sports Card Clubhouse crew A fittingly thoughtful and entertaining close to one of the most philosophical Sports Cards Live episodes to date.

Things Discussed: Marcus Moller is cancer-free! Comps? Uh...develop and see, but Chet-ish. Not expecting to see him this year as he needs to bulk up for a year. Ricky Liburd: ready to go? Maybe a 14-15% usage guy but defensive force, Grady leaving is a sign Liburd was better. Costello/Liburd/Cosby at the three: Dusty likes that size on the court. Imagine if Beilein had this flexibility at the three. Will Wade: Will it work? Oppositional defiance disorder. How else can I piss people off? Ed O as the LSU basketball coach! 24-team Playoff? Pettiti's only principle is make money. You want to stop this: make it an issue this fall in all of the regents/trustee elections. How many garbage pail kids can I get in my athletics department? Chipping away at the value of college football. Reason for it this time is ESPN has the CFP and Fox gets inventory if they go past 14. That's it; that's the entire reason for this. Seth brings back the Showcase idea to replace conf championships. New idea: Play the bowl games in August! (saving this for a hot take later). Brian goes off on the conference commissioner class.

One of the deepest collector psychology discussions ever featured on Sports Cards Live. Jeremy, Chris McGill, Joe Poirot, David Chase, and Josh Adams continue unpacking the idea of “latent taste” and how collectors discover entirely new lanes over time. The panel explores: Why certain cards suddenly “click” years later How collectors evolve through exposure, research, and experience Whether discovering new collecting lanes is lateral movement or actual growth Why rabbit holes can permanently reshape collector identity The tension between focus and discovery Whether collectors ever truly “arrive” at a final form How collecting tastes mature over time Why some lanes stick while others fade away The conversation expands into philosophy, psychology, music, collecting behavior, and even the emotional architecture behind why collectors chase certain cards. Later in the episode, the panel pivots into another major hobby topic: Does collecting GOATs automatically equal safe collecting? They debate: Whether blue-chip GOAT cards truly protect collectors from risk If financially responsible collecting naturally gravitates toward legends The difference between collecting for enjoyment versus collecting for preservation of capital Why many collectors eventually pivot from prospects toward iconic players Whether “safe collecting” limits hobby excitement and discovery This episode blends hobby philosophy, collector psychology, financial thinking, and pure hobby passion in classic Sports Cards Live fashion.

Is the sports card world truly one unified hobby… or a collection of completely different micro markets, cultures, and collector mindsets? Joined by Joe Poirot, Jeremy and Brett McGrath explore the growing fragmentation of the hobby and why different collecting communities now operate almost like separate ecosystems. Topics include: Hobby vs industry Why broad “the hobby is doing this” narratives often fail Category-specific collector behavior The rise of niche content and niche collector communities Why different corners of the hobby value cards differently How market psychology changes across collector groups The conversation then shifts into the controversial world of card restoration, alteration, soaking, cleaning, and “card spas” after Jeremy shares a viral Instagram post criticizing restoration practices on vintage cards. They discuss: Whether collectors deserve full disclosure on altered cards Why grading companies struggle to detect certain restorations The ethical divide around card cleaning and restoration How restoration compares to comic book restoration and fine art restoration Whether PSA slabs create a false sense of security The growing tension between authenticity and aesthetics The episode closes with more discussion around hobby psychology, latent taste, finding your collecting lane, and how collectors discover entirely new passions through exposure and community interaction.

Jeremy Lee and Brett McGrath go deep into one of the most important hobby discussions happening today: Can collectors truly separate personal taste from social influence in a hobby driven by visibility, validation, and market attention? Using one of Brett's recent Stacking Slabs podcast questions as the foundation, the conversation explores: Whether social media is shaping collector identity How influencers, content creators, and algorithms impact buying behavior Why collectors often chase consensus without realizing it The difference between authentic taste and social validation Whether vintage collectors are less influence-driven than modern collectors Why “card bros” and collector communities can both inspire and distract How collector taste evolves over time The role manufacturers now play in shaping hobby demand Jeremy and Brett also discuss the psychology behind rabbit holes, discovery, social proof, and why some collectors spend years refining their collecting identity while others continue chasing trends. This is one of the most philosophical and psychologically driven hobby conversations in recent Sports Cards Live history.

The final conversation of Episode 311 turns into one of the most thoughtful hobby discussions Sports Cards Live has had in a long time. Chris McGill introduces a deceptively simple question: when is it okay for one collector to give another collector advice? That question opens the door to a deep conversation about hobby influence, responsibility, trust, collecting psychology, financial consequences, relationships, and how collectors actually learn over time. Jeremy, Joe Poirot, David Chase, and Josh Adams explore topics including: The difference between opinions and advice Why unsolicited advice can become dangerous Whether content creators bear responsibility for outcomes “Relationship liability” in the hobby Why some collectors hesitate to answer direct questions The risks of presenting opinions as facts How hobby trust is earned over years Financial advice versus collecting advice Whether mistakes are necessary for growth “Paying tuition” through hobby experience Learning through research versus jumping in immediately Why different collectors approach the hobby differently The tension between caution and opportunity The group also discusses: How collectors build confidence and knowledge Why some people prefer to learn by doing The importance of understanding a player or card “menu” The role of research, community, and experience Why collecting styles are deeply personal How hobby personalities shape collecting behavior Later in the episode: Jeremy previews a future Sports Cards Live episode focused on ticket collecting Discussion about the return of The Crossover Upcoming hobby shows, auctions, and National plans Final thoughts from the panel after another marathon Saturday night episode A reflective and surprisingly philosophical ending to one of the most unique Sports Cards Live episodes to date.

The final hour of Sports Cards Live turns into a wide-ranging hobby roundtable as Jeremy, Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, David Chase, and Josh Adams react to the ancient coin discussion and dive into some of the biggest hobby topics currently shaping the sports card industry. The panel explores whether sports card grading companies like PSA could eventually introduce official eye appeal designations similar to the coin world, and what that might mean for collectors, grading culture, and aftermarket sticker services. Then the conversation shifts into the massive FIFA licensing news involving Fanatics, Topps, and Panini. Topics include: The future of FIFA and World Cup cards Debut patch cards for soccer Why Lamine Yamal World Cup patches could become historic cards Whether Fanatics could eventually acquire Panini The future of Panini's iconic brands like Prizm, National Treasures, and Flawless Whether hobby IP can lose prestige over time Why collectors may eventually become nostalgic for the Panini era How sports history constantly renews demand for sports cards Why sports cards differ from coins, stamps, and other collectibles How active athletes continually reshape hobby relevance and GOAT debates The episode also features: Discussion about the return of The Crossover Why sports card collecting moves faster than almost any other collectible category The relationship between cards, history, pop culture, and legacy The possibility that Fanatics could eventually target hockey licensing Concerns about monopolies, hobby consolidation, and brand dilution A thoughtful and entertaining closing segment that blends hobby philosophy, market discussion, licensing battles, and collector psychology into one long-form conversation.

The conversation with Dean Kinzer goes even deeper as Sports Cards Live explores the parallels between ancient coin collecting and modern sports card collecting through the lens of grading, eye appeal, originality, restoration, and authenticity. Jeremy and Dean compare the philosophies behind both hobbies and uncover just how similar collectors really are, despite collecting objects separated by nearly 2,000 years of history. Topics include: Eye appeal versus technical grade Why some lower-grade items look better than higher-grade examples Fine style designations and “star” eye appeal coins Whether grading companies should recognize eye appeal directly Toning, luster, strike quality, and surface preservation Cleaning and restoration controversies in both hobbies Why originality matters to collectors “Buy the coin, not the grade” versus “buy the card, not the grade” How grading legitimized cards and coins as tradable assets Cracking slabs and resubmitting for higher grades Population reports and grading consistency Why ancient coins can still surprise collectors with new discoveries The discussion also explores: Whether cards and coins should ever be restored Why some collectors prefer naturally aged items How grading companies influence hobby psychology Why eye appeal may eventually become part of mainstream sports card grading Later in the episode: Dean discusses rarity, scarcity, and historical demand The impact of movies like Gladiator on coin prices The similarities between modern hobby hype cycles and historical collectibles The challenge of attracting younger collectors into the coin hobby Why ancient coin collectors admire the energy of sports card shows

Dean Kinzer of Kinzer Coins joins Sports Cards Live for one of the most unique hobby conversations the show has ever had. Jeremy explores the parallels between ancient coin collecting and sports card collecting, asking how coin collectors think about rarity, condition, history, grading, aesthetics, themes, sets, and long-term collecting behavior. The result is a fascinating cross-hobby conversation that forces collectors to see sports cards through a completely different lens. Topics include: How ancient coin collectors build collections “Set collecting” in coins versus cards The Five Good Emperors and hobby parallels Why ancient coins were originally propaganda pieces How grading standards compare between coins and cards Strike quality, centering, surfaces, and eye appeal Why history matters so much in both hobbies The evolution of currency from 650 BC to modern times Similarities between NFTs and cryptocurrency versus coins and cards How collectors connect emotionally to historical artifacts Why ancient coins may be more approachable than people think The episode also features: Leighton Sheldon sharing a new PC pickup Discussion about buying inventory at card shows in today's market Secret Santa hobby ideas for The National Thoughts on dealer competition, relationships, and inventory turnover More discussion about the latest episode of Vintage Spotlight If you've ever wondered whether sports card collectors and coin collectors are really that different, this episode delivers a surprising answer.

Jeremy and David Chase kick off Episode 311 of Sports Cards Live with a full recap of the Sport Card Expo, including athlete interviews, stage appearances, late-night hobby hangs, and Jeremy's biggest pickup showcase yet. From Jackie Robinson game-used memorabilia to Mario Lemieux patches, Patrick Roy autos, Barry Sanders relics, Tiger Woods inserts, and vintage basketball, Jeremy shares the cards that followed him home from Toronto and explains why memorabilia cards have become a major focus of his collecting journey. Then Leighton Sheldon joins the show to explain why he missed Expo after getting pulled into a massive vintage collection deal featuring a complete 1964 Topps Baseball set built pack-by-pack in real time during the 1960s. The conversation turns into a hilarious debate over whether Leighton got “worked” by the seller, hobby priorities, old-school collectors, and the realities of chasing collections. The episode also features: Jeremy's Expo behind-the-scenes stories Hanging out with James Beckett in Toronto The impossible 1990 Pro Set Stanley Cup hologram pull David Chase launching his new show with Midlife Greg Thoughts on memorabilia cards, patches, and eye appeal The rise of hockey content creators and community podcasts Why certain vintage relic cards still feel undervalued

After more than five hours, the conversation reaches its natural conclusion—but not before landing on one of the most important themes of the entire episode: transparency. With David Chase, Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams still engaged, the final stretch brings everything together. The focus shifts from “what is alteration?” to something more practical: What does a buyer actually have the right to know? Are sellers obligated to disclose prior submissions, failed sticker attempts, or past alterations? Or is it on the buyer to ask the right questions? There's also discussion around: The growing role of tracking systems and databases for submissions How uncertainty around “altered” designations creates confusion in the market The difference between innocent handling (like screw-down storage) and intentional modification One of the most grounded takeaways: intent matters—but so does disclosure. Alteration without transparency leads to distrust Transparency changes how the market values a card And in many cases, the issue isn't what was done—it's whether it's being hidden The segment also revisits: Why card collecting treats restoration differently than comics, art, or other collectibles How hobby standards have evolved—and may continue to evolve The importance of personal philosophy in how you collect, buy, and sell And ultimately, the episode ends where it began: with questions, not answers. A marathon session filled with debate, perspective, and real hobby discussion—exactly what Sports Cards Live is all about. Enjoy the show?

This segment pushes the conversation into some of the toughest questions in the hobby—where definitions break down and gray areas take over. With David Chase, Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams still on the panel, the discussion circles back to eye appeal… but this time through the lens of alteration, intent, and ethics. It starts with a deceptively simple question: Should altered cards ever receive eye appeal stickers? From there, things get complicated quickly: If a card looks amazing but is altered, what are you actually rewarding? Does eye appeal exist independently from originality? Would stickers unintentionally encourage further alteration? Then comes one of the wildest scenarios: A collector intentionally damaging an 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card to create a PSA 1… because PSA 1s can be rarer and more valuable than mid-grade copies That opens up a deeper conversation: Is intentional damage a form of alteration? Does intent matter more than outcome? Where do we draw the line between natural wear and manufactured condition? The segment also digs into the core purpose of grading: Is grading really about condition… or about trust? Is authentication the most important function? How consistent are grading outcomes, really? And one of the strongest ideas to come out of the discussion:A lot of what we call “alteration” isn't just about the act—it's about whether or not it's disclosed. Would the market behave differently if full transparency existed? Is concealment the real issue, not the alteration itself? This is where the hobby gets uncomfortable—but also where it gets real. A fitting end to a marathon episode that challenged assumptions at every turn. Enjoy the show? Follow or subscribe on your podcast platform so you don't miss upcoming episodes.

As the marathon continues, the panel—David Chase, Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams—shifts from theory into something more personal: how you actually define your collecting identity. The conversation introduces a powerful idea: your “lane statement.” How would you describe what you collect in one clear thought? Is it even possible when you collect across multiple lanes? Does defining it help you collect more intentionally? This ties directly into a noticeable shift in philosophy: Moving away from rookie card dependency Prioritizing eye appeal over technical grade Choosing cards based on connection, not checklist From there, the discussion takes a hard turn into one of the most controversial topics in the hobby: Is it ever okay to alter a card? And more specifically: What about hand-cut cards—can they be re-cut? If a card is already altered, does altering it further matter? Does intent change how we judge the action? Where does restoration end and manipulation begin? There's no clean answer—and that's the point. The group works through real scenarios, edge cases, and uncomfortable gray areas, exposing just how complicated this topic actually is when you strip away the easy “never do it” answer. This segment blends identity, evolution, and ethics into one of the most thought-provoking stretches of the entire show. Enjoy the show?

The conversation continues to dig deeper as David Chase, Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams take the idea of “taste” and push it to its limits. What starts as a simple definition quickly unravels into something much more complex: Is taste purely aesthetic… or does it include meaning, rarity, and intent? Can someone actually have “bad taste,” or is everything just subjective? Are we just saying “you have good taste” when someone likes what we like? The discussion introduces new layers: The difference between taste, style, and lane Whether being a “connoisseur” is about expertise… or perception How influence and exposure shape what we think is good There's also a more uncomfortable angle explored: Can two people buy the exact same card… and one be doing it “in good taste” and the other not? Is collecting purely for money a lack of taste? Or is that just another valid lane in the hobby? The panel also gets into real examples: Why some collectors admire off-the-radar cards more than iconic grails How discovery and originality can signal taste more than price The role of content creators in shaping what the hobby sees as desirable And one of the key takeaways that emerges: Taste isn't fixed. It evolves, it's influenced, and sometimes it's revealed only after you actually hold the card in your hands. This is one of the most philosophical segments of the entire show—and one that doesn't try to land on a final answer. Enjoy the show?

The conversation movs into some unexpected territory as David Chase, Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams explore the deeper and sometimes strange psychology behind collecting. It starts with a simple question that turns into something bigger: Would you collect cards of controversial or morally complex figures? That opens the door to discussions around: Separating history from behavior Why some collectors avoid certain players entirely How storytelling and mythology influence what we're drawn to Then comes one of the wildest hobby stories you'll hear: A one-of-one card dropped into a lake during a photo attempt. It sounds funny… until you realize it could happen to anyone. That leads into real talk about: Handling mistakes and damage in the hobby The emotional side of owning cards Why some moments stick with you more than the cards themselves From there, Chris introduces a deceptively simple question: What does “taste” actually mean in collecting? And that takes the conversation into a deeper layer: Is taste just liking what looks good to you? Is it about curation and how your collection comes together? Can someone collect without having taste at all? Or is taste just another way of saying identity? There's also a strong distinction made between: Your lane (what you collect) And your taste (how and why you collect it) Less about the cards themselves, and more about what they represent, how we relate to them, and what they say about us as collectors.

In this episode I breakdown who gets comps and how you can too. I breakdown why standalone hotels are some of the better hotels to try to get comps from and why is MGM Resorts and Caesars so hard to get free stuff out of.   Instagram: @conciergeconfidential_lv, @Brian_Ortega26 TikTok: @keystovegas

The conversation rolls on with David Chase, Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams as the discussion shifts into one of the hobby's most foundational debates. Is it 1948 Leaf… or 1949 Leaf? What starts as a technical question quickly turns into something much bigger: Does the actual release year even matter anymore? What really defines a “rookie card”? If the label changed tomorrow, would collectors actually change how they value the card? The group explores how hobby consensus forms, how it evolves, and whether certain cards are simply too iconic to ever be redefined—regardless of what new research might uncover. From there, the discussion ties back into a deeper theme that runs through this entire segment: meaning in collecting. Do you value what the hobby tells you is important? Or what you discover and connect with yourself? Is finding something on your own more rewarding than being told why it matters? There are also great side discussions around: Player vs card importance (why Jackie outweighs scarcity debates) Why some historically important players were left out of early sets The difference between collecting cards… and understanding them This is one of those segments that reminds you the hobby isn't just about what something is worth—it's about what it means to you, and how you got there.

The crew is back together as David Chase rejoins alongside Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams for the final stretch of Part 3. This segment turns into a real, unfiltered hobby roundtable. We revisit the sticker debate from earlier in the show, but this time with opposing viewpoints in the room. Is it a useful signal of eye appeal… or just another way for companies to take a cut? The pushback is real, and the discussion gets honest quickly. From there, the conversation shifts into how the market actually works: Do collectors really pay premiums for better-looking cards? Are dealers setting comps… or chasing them? What's actually happening when dealers buy from each other and resell at higher prices? Is any of this new, or just more visible now? Then things take a turn into one of the most underrated parts of the hobby: research. Chris introduces a question that sparks stories from the group: What's something you only learned by doing your own research—and how did it change how you view a card? That leads to: Discoveries about vintage sets and production quirks Why certain cards carry more meaning after deeper digging The kind of knowledge that separates casual collectors from serious ones There's even a surprising nugget about the dating of the iconic 1948/49 Leaf set that opens up a whole new rabbit hole. This is one of those segments that feels like being at a table with experienced collectors just talking it out—no script, just real hobby perspective. Enjoy the show?

It's a one-on-one conversation with Jonathan Bernier, diving into one of the more interesting entrepreneurial stories in the hobby right now. Jonathan shares how his journey started as a kid in the hospital receiving donated cards, eventually building a collection of hundreds of thousands of cards… and then facing a problem most collectors and dealers know all too well: how do you actually move that inventory? That problem led to the creation of Kronozio. We go deep into: The origin story behind Kronozio and how it was built out of necessity Why listing cards manually is one of the biggest bottlenecks in the hobby How automation and AI are changing the way people sell cards online The reality of scaling a hobby business from the ground up Why staying lean matters when building something long term The danger of “dead inventory” and why so many collectors sit on value Jonathan also explains how Kronozio works at a practical level, from scanning to listing to shipping, and how it can turn what used to be a slow, manual process into something that operates at scale. Beyond the product, this is really a conversation about execution, adaptation, and what it takes to build something over 10+ years in the hobby. Enjoy the show?

We kick off Episode 310 with a wide-ranging opening segment that sets the tone for a massive show. From an unexpected deep dive into Comic Con culture to a serious discussion about eye appeal, grading, and the growing influence of third-party stickers, this one covers a lot of ground. We get into the real question behind the sticker debate: are collectors paying for the label, or for what the label represents? The conversation moves beyond surface-level takes and into how eye appeal is being recognized, priced, and understood across the hobby right now. Then the focus shifts to the upcoming Sport Card Expo in Toronto, as Leighton Sheldon joins to talk vintage, market behavior, and how dealers think about premium cards in today's environment. Later, Mikey Singer and Johnny Amendola jump in to preview what's shaping up to be the biggest Expo yet, including the evolution of trade nights, community building, and the growing scale of the hobby in Canada. There's also discussion around: The difference between technical grade and eye appeal Why premium examples within the same grade are pulling away in value How new and experienced collectors approach buying decisions differently The role of community, events, and content creators in hobby growth This is Part 1 of a marathon live stream that's been split into multiple podcast episodes.
