Shohei Ohtani is the entry point for a wider conversation about strategy, timing, and identity in the modern hobby. Leighton Sheldon puts Paul Hickey on the spot with a question many collectors think about but rarely articulate clearly: if you have $1,000 or $10,000 to spend on Ohtani, what's the smartest way to approach it right now? Paul answers from an unapologetic Operator perspective, explaining why Ohtani behaves differently than almost any other modern athlete, how raw-to-grade math actually works, and why early January can be one of the least crowded decision windows of the year. From there, the discussion expands into bigger hobby dynamics, including grading labels versus true condition, friction between Purists and Operators, and why Paul deliberately caps his premium community to protect both value and signal. This episode stands on its own whether you're a collector, an investor, or somewhere in between. In this episode: A practical Ohtani buying framework for $1,000 vs $10,000 budgets One big card versus multiple plays, and how risk tolerance changes the answer Why Ohtani is a data anomaly in modern cards Raw-to-grade strategy explained without hype Timing buys around grading backlogs and the MLB calendar The grading company versus card condition debate Why Operator and Purist perspectives clash and why both still matter How community size can quietly impact markets If you want to go deeper: Follow Sports Cards Live and leave a rating or review on your podcast platform of choice Take the Hobby Spectrum assessment at HobbySpectrum.com to see where you land Opt into the Spectrum Directory to connect with collectors who think like you Explore Paul Hickey's work at NoOffSeason.com and the Sports Card Strategy Show Learn more about your ad choices.

Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 1992 film "Mr. Baseball." They introduce the film (1:07), with an overview of the story, the cast, and filmmakers, and review the 20-80 baseball scouting grades for rating the film, with a new metaphor (5:31). Amount of Baseball (14:02) has a good variety, and they contrast the unnecessary Yankee stadium with the real Japanese baseball stadiums, plus the Frank Thomas appearance and a player comp.  Baseball Accuracy (19:52) is strong, although the MLB and NPB do not trade, and you shouldn't bring your top hand over. A dive into the shuuto pitch (Yu Darvish, Aaron Nola, Shohei Ohtani) and Ricky Davis's debut (Frank Thomas, JP Arencibia). There are timeline issues with MLB/NPB seasons and the Dodgers series, there are problems with Doc the Agent, the nightmare as a hitter's nightmare, and some poor scouting practices. But there are fun references to the hotfoot tradition (Roger McDowell?) and John Kruk. A brief history of the Chunichi Dragons franchise and their most famous player Michio Nishizawa, plus Larry Doby, Don Newcombe and Matt Stairs. NPB home run records include discussion of Sadaharu Oh, Randy Bass, Tuffy Rhodes, Alex Cabrera and Wladimir Balentien. Cultural differences between Japanese baseball and American baseball, including facial hair (Bob Horner, Eric Thames), the "Gaijin strikezone," extra innings, and the cap-tipping tradition (Osamu Higashio, Dick Davis). Also the Brett Myers/Kyle Kendrick prank, Don Mattingly comparisons, and Tom Selleck's athleticism.  Storytelling (50:30) discusses how a formula is good for reversals but bad for long scenes, the bunting trope in baseball movies, the film's cultural in/sensitivities, Cleveland/Nagoya comparisons, the bath scene, and problems with the Lame Romantic Subplot.  The Score Tool (1:15:37) discusses this 1992 timepiece from Jerry Goldsmith, which slightly divides our scouts. Acting (1:19:18) considers the performances of Tom Selleck, Ken Takakura, Toshi Shioya, Aya Takanashi, and the baseball team ensemble. Neither Delightfulness of Catcher (1:26:08) or Delightfulness of Announcer (1:27:18) offer much. In Lack of Misogyny (1:27:56), they consider the believability of the Lame Romantic Subplot, Hiroko's own issues, and the repairing of the father/daughter relationship. But why does Hiroko like Jack? No spoilers on the following segments: Yes or No (1:40:23), Six Degrees of Baseball (1:44:12), Favorite Moment (1:45:26) Least Favorite Moment (1:47:44), Scene We Would Have Liked to See (1:49:42), Dreamiest Player (1:51:03), Favorite Performance (1:51:27), and Next Time (1:53:15).  Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, we're joined by Tabitha from Housewives of True Crime for a special crossover episode. Tabitha breaks down the shocking 2024 scandal involving MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani and his longtime interpreter and close confidant, who is accused of stealing nearly $16 million—money prosecutors say was used to fuel a massive gambling addiction. There's no military connection and no murder in this case, but it's a jaw-dropping story of trust, betrayal, and deception at the highest level of professional sports. Be sure to follow Housewives of True Crime wherever you listen to podcasts. ⸻

In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric wrestle with one deceptively simple question: What does “enough” money actually look like? The conversation ranges from private jets and yachts to first-class flights, five-star dinners, and court-side sports experiences—and why most people wildly overestimate what it takes to live an extraordinary, but not billionaire-level, life.​ On this episode we talk about: Travis' personal definition of “enough”: first-class flights, five-star dining, great seats at games and concerts, and rich family travel—without obsessively checking the bank app Why jets, yachts, and 17,000-square-foot mansions are not actually part of his goals How friends use money to buy unforgettable experiences (like chatting with Shohei Ohtani from behind the dugout or sitting courtside during NBA playoffs) The tradeoff between Grant Cardone/Alex Hormozi-level drive and the time cost of maintaining that lifestyle Why you must adjust either your goals or your expectations if you are not willing to work like an ultra-elite entrepreneur Data on what it really takes to be top 10% and top 1% income in the U.S.—and why that number is lower than most people guess Why an “extraordinary life” is more attainable than social media makes it seem if you define it thoughtfully Top 3 Takeaways “Enough” is personal—but it must be specific. For Travis, it is the freedom to buy high-quality experiences (travel, dining, memories with kids) without financial anxiety, not owning every luxury toy on earth. Ultra-wealth has a workload attached. If you want billionaire-style outcomes, you must be honest about whether you are truly willing to live the grind that level requires; if not, recalibrate. Extraordinary doesn't require billions. Hitting high-six-figure or low-seven-figure income and net worth—combined with sane spending choices—can fund a rich, experience-filled life for most people. Notable Quotes “I'm not chasing a jet and a yacht. I just want to take my family to Italy for three weeks and not worry about staying in a sketchy hostel.” “If you're not willing to work like Grant Cardone, you probably shouldn't expect Grant Cardone's life.” “Extraordinary is only one or two levels above where most people are now—not some impossible billionaire mountain.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Japan is often described as having “spirituality without religion”, but what does that actually mean? In this episode, author Hiroko Yoda joins the Krewe to break down how spirituality quietly shapes everyday life in Japan, from nature and kami to shrines, folklore, and even anime.

We tackle one of the biggest hobby moments of the year: Shohei Ohtani's 1-of-1 Gold MLB Logoman autograph selling for $3 million on Fanatics Collect, followed days later by a $3.1 million Jordan Kobe dual Logoman sale at Heritage. From there, the conversation widens into something much bigger than one card. Is modern ultra high-end moving too fast? Does a card need “time to breathe,” or does Ohtani's career, global reach, and historical context override that idea entirely? We compare the sale to Paul Skenes' $1.1 million debut patch, debate opportunity cost versus singular grail ownership, and question whether one or two buyers can drag an entire market upward. The discussion then pivots into a deep dive on the comp economy. How much judgment are collectors outsourcing to strangers? Are comps guidance or control? When do comps work, when do they break, and how do concepts like triangulation, opportunity cost, and buyer intent actually play out in real hobby behavior? The segment closes with a heavy PSA conversation following the downgrade of a Wilt Chamberlain rookie from PSA 10 to PSA 9, wiping out roughly $800,000 in market value. We discuss whether that sale should remain in public comp databases, if it deserves an asterisk, and what “descriptive vs prescriptive” data really means when trust, grading, and market memory collide.

As 2025 comes to a close, Sportly looks back at a year that reshaped sports far beyond the scoreboard. Host Kavitha Davidson reflects on defining moments across leagues and borders—from historic performances by A'ja Wilson and Shohei Ohtani to the cultural impact of the NBA's new media era, the resurgence of tennis rivalries, and the continued growth of women's sports. This year-end episode revisits some of Sportly's most meaningful stories, including the political legacy of ping-pong diplomacy, the origins of women's sports in the U.S., the Boston Marathon as a site of collective memory, Canada's national identity through the Toronto Blue Jays, and the ongoing fight for Indigenous sovereignty in lacrosse ahead of the 2028 Olympics. The episode also confronts the more complex truths of 2025: sports betting scandals, labor disputes, media consolidation, and what happens when billion-dollar sports institutions struggle to regulate themselves.  Looking ahead, Kavitha explores what's coming next: the 2026 World Cup in North America, the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and the unanswered questions that will define the future of sports. Sportly is a podcast about sports, culture, politics, and identity, and why the stories behind the games matter just as much as the games themselves. Host: Kavitha A.

Episode 48 takes listeners inside one of the most dominant franchises in modern sports: the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fresh off back-to-back World Series championships, the Dodgers are rewriting the blueprint for what a modern sports dynasty looks like. Great dynasties do not happen by accident. They are built with intention, culture and a relentless commitment to winning, much like great brands. In sports, that formula shows up on the field, in the front office and across a global fan base. Hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata talk with Brandon Gomes, General Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, to explore how one of the most recognizable brands in sports sustains greatness in an era of constant change. From player development and global recruiting to culture, leadership and long-term vision, Brandon reveals how championship organizations build systems that outlast trends and competitors. Brandon's journey to the GM seat wasn't linear. A former MLB pitcher with roots in Fall River, Massachusetts, he climbed from the clubhouse to the front office, gaining a rare perspective on what makes elite teams work. That experience now shapes how the Dodgers balance tradition with innovation, data with instinct and star power with team chemistry. A major driver of that evolution is the Dodgers' emergence as a truly global brand. With superstars like Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the team has expanded far beyond Los Angeles, connecting with fans across Asia and around the world. Gomes reflects on traveling with the club to South Korea and Tokyo, calling it a powerful reminder of baseball's universal reach. “Seeing the impact that baseball can have all over the world and the passion that it brings,” he says, underscores how the Dodgers are leading the future of the game on a global stage. This episode is a masterclass for marketers, leaders and sports fans alike. It's a reminder that dynasties aren't built on hype, they're built on clarity, culture and consistency. Get those right, and winning stops being a goal and becomes the brand. Have an idea for a guest? Reach out at brandslam@addventures.com.

On the second night of Hanukkah, we have Australian wrestler and Red Sox fan @RedSoxYapper. After seeing the Red Sox in 2008, she became locked in for life. Yes, we also asked why. She loves Marcelo Mayer, Wilyer Abreu, and if she became a Red Sox fan in 2008, statistically likely that she likes Jason Bay (we forgot to ask). Tonight being the second night of Hannukah is important. Craig Breslow is celebrating, and the presents get bigger every night.
