Podcast appearances and mentions of rob girard

(Originally aired 10.20.2023) Collecting cards can mean so much more than their financial worth or how pretty they look when displayed. They can connect us with past generations. In this episode, Dave and Rob Girard explore the deeper potential of sports cards.

“First”* 2-time guest Dan The Great Curator pops back into the podcast studio (in the first of a mini series of “Where Are They Now?” with my Season 1 guests) to share his thoughts on being a content creator and the current landscape of content in The Hobby.  We talk about the concept of people who don't call themselves influencers but who influence others to not like influencers. *Sports Card Therapist, Rob Girard, was technically the first 2-time guest. =)

Season 1: When are cards more than just cards? When they connect us to generations past and future. Rob Girard, aka @SportsCardTherapist, and Dave talk about the cards that mean the most.

Eric Frandsen and Jason Walker discuss the changes that nearly happened in the college football playoff format. Also, interview with USU football placekicker Elliott Nimrod and USU's new club hockey coach Rob Girard. And to end the show, Eric and Jason discuss how expectations may have shifted for USU football in terms of their final record and the chances of making a bowl game.

YouTube video link here: https://youtu.be/kbc2mHvs5CE Because one hour was just not enough, I had Rob Girard (on Instagram @sportscardtherapist) on again.  I think this counts as a repeat appearance?  I start this episode with having an individual hobby therapy session about how to handle online criticism with putting my face and voice out there and Rob does an excellent job talking me through this issue, including talking about his own personal experiences and his personal way of handling it.  If you are a fellow content creator, I hope you gain some good insight from Rob! We then get to YOUR questions, which I solicited on Instagram, and so the episode turns into a hobby group therapy session.  Hope you enjoy it and thank you for contributing questions, maybe this is something I do more often in the future! Thanks card fam, y'all are truly awesome. - Denny

EPISODE 151 - Clark and Hyung open the show talking about the Junior Caminero 1st Bowman Chrome superfractor that was recently graded a BGS 6.5, and what they would do if they owned the card. Then they welcome Rob Girard, aka the Sports Card Therapist, onto the show to discuss the recent National Sports Collectors Convention with all the highlights (all the cards and meeting hobby friends in person) as well as what could be improved upon for the show next year (ie. official trade night during each night of the National.) They also discuss vintage cards with Rob where he explains why sometimes the value of vintage sports cards can vary quite a bit even if it has the same number grade.  Then as usual, the guys end off the show with the regular weekly Pick 1 segment where each of them put up two cards and they debate which one they would invest in. This week includes two lower end Shohei Ohtani baseball cards and two future Hall of Fame pitchers.

YouTube video link here: https://youtu.be/r-N2TRr-OJ4 After an amazing time at The National in Rosemont, Illinois, I thought it would be the perfect time to have a sports card therapy session, and who better than Rob Girard, the Sports Card Therapist?  There is no intro monologue to this episode, and instead we just get right to the special guest. Rob and I talk about his origin story, fatherhood, the state of Connecticut, whether The Hobby is about idol worship, and his rollercoaster relationship with Eli Manning.  I then have technical difficulties with my Wi-Fi, which I keep in for the lesson to all podcasters that having a wired connection to your router is better than going wireless.   We then get back on track with talking about how breaking and prospecting is gambling and about addiction in The Hobby and how it impacts kids.  Then we talk about mental health in The Hobby, using my hobby journey as an example to start talking about hobby depression, Keeping Up With the Joneses, FOMO, and low end collecting.   The virtues and vices of social media are also discussed, and Rob and I get very honest with each other (and with ourselves) and my hope is that you as the listener gets a lot out of this episode.   We end with Rob talking about treating your head like a dangerous neighborhood and thus why it is important to have a wolfpack.  We had a hard stop at one hour and so we had to end the recording!

This episode with Rob Sports Card Therapist, we discuss his newest roundtables, creating and consuming content, and his bottom row collecting. S2E38

In Part 5 of our Hockey Cards 101 series we cover a topic that's not touched upon much in the hobby...healthy collecting habits.  We believe the hockey card hobby has many positives and benefits to collectors but it can be addicting.  If your participation in the hobby gets out of control, there can be a downside too.  We were fortunate to be joined for this sensitive topic by licensed therapist and avid hobbyist Rob Girard, better know as the Sports Card Therapist.    If at any point, your experience in the hobby becomes unhealthy, reach out to someone for help.  We're here to help too for anyone that could use it.  It's our hope that bringing topics like this out in the open will help strengthen the foundation of the hocky hobby for further long-term prosperity and happiness for us all.Partners & SponsorsOur Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/HockeyCardsGongshowPWCC Marketplace - https://www.pwccmarketplace.comSlab Sharks Canadian Consignment - https://www.slabsharks.comSign up for Card Ladder - https://app.cardladder.com/signup?via=HCGongshowFollow Hockey Cards Gongshow on social mediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/hockey_cards_gongshow/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@hockey_cards_gongshowFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/HockeyCardsGongshowTwitter - https://twitter.com/HCGongshowYouTube - http://youtube.com/@hockeycardsgongshow

This weekend I set up with Rob Girard at my very first card show at the Foxwoods Casino. I share what that was like for me and whether or not I'd do it again. Also, after a month of eliminations, the wrestling GOAT Royal Rumble I've been running on my socials is over. I announce the results and the three winners of the giveaway.

In this episode Oz and Tony sit down with fellow podcasters Rob Girard,Ken Cairns and Shane Norton to discuss what goes into to making a sports card podcast and how it effects their hobby journey.

Rob Girard hosted an incredible collaboration of some phenomenal content creators, and I'm there too! Along with Rob, we got to sit down with Cousin Tony and Cousin Oz of Cousins Collectibles (and also The Faction ever heard of it?), and Ken Cairns of Sports Card Lessons. The 5 of us share a legitimate passion for this hobby, so much so we all decided to put ourselves out there and create our podcasts. One thing we learned during this panel, the best part of any of this is the relationships we build. Let's talk about it!

Rob Girard, aka the Sports Card Therapist, has become a source of inspiration in terms of setting and meeting hobby goals. I set out some of my own goals moving forward as I continue to explore and enjoy this hobby to its fullest. Also, Albert Pujols became just the 4th player ever to reach 700 career home runs. This incredible accomplishment inspired this week's top 5 countdown. Let's talk about it!

This week's guest (09/18): Rob Girard, collector, dealer and host of the Sports Card Therapist podcast. Rob has experienced an impressive trajectory in the sports card world -- both building his collection and his audience. 

This show was my first time setting up as a dealer at one of the biggest card shows of the year. I always use card shows as an opportunity to shift my collection in real ways and this show wasn't any different. I made some huge sales and pickups as my collection continues to change in this evolving market. I talk about the advantages and disadvantages of setting up as a dealer, how the market feels, and trade night. If you're enjoying the show, we really appreciate a subscribe and rating/review.

I'm back! And I'm energized to come back to content in a new way. On this episode, we talk about Donovan Mitchell getting traded and the new about Kevin Durant staying in Brooklyn. Then I dive into major changes to my PC and more importantly how I approach it. Trading MJ for Justin Herbert?? I'll tell you why and I think I might be on to something.

The National 2022 is over and... it was AWESOME. It was awesome mostly because Rob and I got to me, the hobby is so alive with a ton of positive energy and momentum, and it was truly the best because of all the listeners that came up and showed some love. We appreciate you. On Part 1 we dive into the vibes of the show, the difference between walking around and setting up as a dealer, and differences between having cash and trading at these card shows. Then we break down a major sale that Aamil made of the 1985 Michael Jordan Nike Promo 10. A roller coaster of a deal that gets done and all of a sudden, Aamil is collecting Justin Herbert.

This is the second part of our National episodes this week. This is the where we really dive into the deals that fundamentally changed our collections for the better. We talk about narrowing our PCs and trading a good long term card for shorter term potential especially if you're having to take a loss on a card. We talk Willie Mays, Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, Hulk Hogan and Justin Herbert just to name a few. If you're enjoying the show, we really appreciate a subscribe and rating/review.

The National is only one week away and on today's episode we do a full breakdown of our strategy going into what we feel is the Hobby New Year. Aamil talks about his plan to go after a huge Tim Duncan Rookie card as a major staple of his collection and Rob is going in with less of a plan but with the hopes of finding something he's not expecting. Regardless, we both plan on making moves and we also very excited about meeting one another for the first time. We also talk about some logistics to keep in mind to maximize your time there.

S1E19 Interview With Sports Card Therapist Rob Girard - His PC - Getting ready for National

As always, Rob is making moves... but his mindset is changing and today we talk about it. A couple years ago it felt like we would never be able to get our hands on the cards that truly matter to the collecting world but like everything that goes up, it must come down. And it is now time to be looking at your own personal grail cards because this will be a time over the next weeks, months, and years that it will be possible if you put your mind to it and we definitely are. We also talk about set collecting and how much more possible that has become again. If you're enjoying the show, we really appreciate a subscribe and rating/review.

Just weeks after the NBA season ends, and the league is already on fire! Major moves including, Gobert to the Timberwolves, Murray to the Hawks, Jalen Brunson to the Knicks and Kevin Durant on the move again? How do the moves affect card values for Anthony Edwards, Donovan MItchell, Luka Doncic, Trae Young and Kevin Durant? If you're enjoying the show, we really appreciate a subscribe and rating/review.

On this episode, Both Rob and I are making moves! One more than the other but not what you think. Aamil is also back in the action having attended trade night in San Antonio at Boomtown Sports Cards. We talk about what card I traded to get a Tua Rookie Donruss Optic Downtown. If you've been following along, you'll definitely recognize the card. Trading is a tool that allows you to change your card collection way faster which can help in giving yourself another strategy if one isn't working or if you are tired of a certain card in your collection without having to find a cash buyer. Congrats to Rob on the big news and we are both excited to meet each other and all of you at the National. Follow us on instagram to find out where we will be setting up.

On this episode, as an offshoot of our NBA Finals Recap, we discussed how long does Jayson Tatum have to play before people stop trading his rookie cards on what he could become, but rather what he has done (i.e. the Bradley Beal effect)? And by way, lower the ceiling that people would pay for his cards. We also talk about where Giannis, Luka and Zion falls in their "Trading on Potential" windows. To end the pod, we also discuss how we actually engage with the hobby on a day to day basis and how we find true joy out of this hobby that we spend so much time on.

On this episode, Rob and Aamil take a deep dive into what is actually going on in the market. We are at a pivotal time with a lot of negative talk in the market and it's time to really look at the different tiers of cards (high, middle and low end) since the story is different across the tiers. We also look at the Stephen Curry and Lebron James markets to get a sense of whether or not it is better to buy the GOATS or is it better to take some more risks with younger players that have untapped potential. We end the show talking about the NBA Finals and who we think will be the eventual NBA Champions of the 2021/22 Season.

Rob is already making moves adding a huge 1933 Babe Ruth Goudey Rookie card to his collection. Aamil and Rob also discuss the NBA Finals - is this the worst playoffs as a viewer in the last 10 years? Then, the first of many National preparation conversations. The biggest sports card show of the year will be here in just 48 days. What are they doing now to prepare for the National?

Aamil is back! Aamil and his wife just moved into the their newly renovated home and we get into the home buying/renovating process. We're adulting on this week's episode. Of course, we also had to get in to Rob's huge Lebron James Rookie Auto pickup from last week. Congrats to our guy Rob. What a pickup. We also discuss the NBA finals. What would it mean to Stephen Curry and Jayson Tatum to win a championship and the ultimate collectability conversation for both.

With Aamil out this week, Rob brings in a huge guest. Josh with CardLadder joins to talk to Rob about what it means to acquire a huge chase card like the one Rob just acquired with his recent buy of a 2003 Lebron James Ultimate Collections Autograph Rookie /250. Rob and Josh also discuss what's happening in the market. Josh and his team at CardLadder have built one of the biggest data aggregation tools in the hobby so they have access to some of the most up to date and accurate data the hobby has to offer.

The guys start off by recapping Rob's experience at Rick Probstein's Autographfest Card Show in New Jersey this past weekend. They talk about what the show was like and how it was to see Ric Flair, Allen Iverson Michael Vick and more in person. The main topic of the show is a discussion about what drives more people to buy a player's cards - a player's Legacy or rather the potential a player has. We discuss the Giannis, Tatum, Stephen Curry, and the Chris Paul markets as part of that discussion.

If you've been listening you know that Aamil has struggled on what to do next with his collection. With a lot of money tied up in nice high end cards, that can mean less activity in the hobby, and that's opposite of what we want out of this hobby. Aamil and Rob dive into what it means to truly buy cards for the long term and adjusting expectations as a lot of things have changed in the hobby. They also talk about taking into consideration some of the macroeconomic trends that are taking place in our world at this moment as we look at the broader Sports Card Strategy.

Rick Probstein is the Biggest Consignment house on eBay under "Probstein123". If you're looking at cards on eBay, you've definitely come across cards being sold through his consignment house. We answer questions like what is consignment, why do people use it, and how auction houses operate in the hobby. Consignment also has a darker side as well. It's the center of the conversation when we talk about shill bidding and some of the market manipulation that can occur because of the natural incentives that exist in the consignment world. The discussion definitely gets lively as we talk about some of the real problems that exist. We appreciate Rick being on the show and having the discussion with us. The Bounce Episode 23.

It is no secret that Rob's goal is to obtain a $100,000 Grail Card by the end of the year. At last weekend's Hoftra Card Show, Rob got $34,000 closer to that goal. We talk through what card he sold, how the deal went down, and what's next for Rob and Aamil in the collecting journey's.

Hobby legend Erik Myers joins the show. He has been collecting for 16 years and own a multi-million dollar collection having some of the biggest collectible you can think of. We talk about navigating a high end market that is much harder to get into with the prices having exploded over the last two years and how he would be thinking about leveling up his collection if he started today. We talk about the importance of using data research tools and being a student of the hobby. We also debate National Treasures vs Flawless.

Rob only bought his Tatum Flawless Rookie Patch Auto card just about 6 weeks ago and in that time period, he nearly double his money. In this episode we dissect how the deal went down, how he negotiated it, and what his thought process was on this flip. It is a great episode where Aamil and Rob really talk about the types of decisions that are being made during a transaction like this.

Both Aamil and Rob have some major cards of players playing in this years playoffs including Tatum, Morant, Giannis, and Steph Curry. We talk about what our plans our with those cards and how we think about those plays heading into the post season. Over the last week, there have also been some huge names in pop culture that have participated in the hobby. Logan Paul wore his $5.3m Pikachu card around his neck at Wrestlemania and Drake participated in a box break with Ken Goldin. What do these names and others like Gary Vee do for the hobby? Does it help, hurt, or move the needle at all and how we look at it as collectors. If you're enjoying the episodes, please subscribe and leave a review! It's all we ask and helps us a lot.

On this episode, Rob talks about his latest pickups in the Vintage Card World. Over the weekend he bought iconic rookie cards of Wilt Chamberlain and Hank Aaron. There are definitely differences with cards that are from the 1950s and 60s and Aamil and Rob discuss the thought process. We talk about seeing grade of the card differently than just targeting PSA 10s as we are all accustomed to caring about so much and what the vintage market looks like when trying to resell the cards.

Flipping cards can definitely be risky, but there is a lot of fun in trying to be right. Ultimately, that's the catalyst that makes buying cards of active players a lot of fun. You can make a Sports Card "bet" on what you think what might happen and/or how you think people will react to it and if you're right, chances are you will have an opportunity to make some money on a card. We talk about buying a player when it doesn't feel good like Kyrie Irving or Zion Williamson this season. We also talk about whether or not the narrative around Kevin Durant can change, making him more collectable. It's a fun conversation and if you like the idea of buying current players, you'll enjoy this one.

Some of the most common questions we get - How can you figure out value of a card when there aren't a lot of comps? How can you determine and use multipliers based on other sales of comparable grades or players? How we use eBay sales in determining a card's value? On this episode, we discuss all of these topics. If you're buying cards right now, you're going to want to listen to this one!

Russell Wilson is now a Bronco after the huge trade announcement made today. Aamil and Rob talk about what that means for his card market and whether or not he is a buy. The main part of the episode is all about Rob's major moves after freeing up $30,000 from the New Jersey Trade Show two weekends ago. He's already spent the majority of it and the crazy thing is, Rob is making NBA prospecting moves instead of safe GOAT buys. We deep dive into what players he believes in, what cards he bought, and how it went down.

In this episode Oz and Tony pick the brain of the one and only Sports Card Therapist Rob Girard. Take a listen as the boys discuss everything from leveling up in the card game to who they would start their NBA franchise with.

If you've been following Rob, you know he's been hitting the show circuit pretty hard as a deal. This weekend was one of Rob's biggest of the last 6 months and we talk through what the New Jersey Trade show was like and if too many card shows are cannibalizing each other in different parts of the country. Rob also sold many of his large cards at the show and is now figuring out what to do with $35,000!
