In this week's flagship episode, Brett revisits a core theme from episode 118—your collecting North Star—and why now is the perfect time to reconnect with it. With The National around the corner, the noise is louder than ever. It's easy to get caught chasing hype, but building a collection that means something starts with remembering what matters most.Brett reflects on the lessons he's learned while finishing his upcoming book, Collecting for Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On Hype, and how that process forced him to redefine his purpose as a collector. He shares how his North Star is rooted in Indianapolis, why it keeps him from chasing impulse buys, and how collectors can use this same mindset to avoid regret and collect with confidence.Whether you're walking the floor at The National or watching from a distance, this is your reminder to collect for keeps, not for clout.Start 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

In this episode of Passion to Profession, I sit down with Kristina Thorson, co-founder of Card Ladder, to explore what it takes to build something meaningful in the hobby. We talk about working two jobs before signing the acquisition papers, building trust through transparency, and why every feature on the platform starts with one question: “What's best for the hobby?”This isn't the same old Card Ladder story. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how Kristina went from collector to co-founder, how her academic experience in research compliance shaped the platform's foundation, and what it's like being a woman running a company in a male-dominated industry.This episode is about belief. It's about finding the right people to build with and staying true to what matters.A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Passion to Profession.

This week on Smashing BIN, Tony (@southerncollector14) returns to share the story behind one of the rarest cards in his vintage baseball collection: the 1950-51 Toleteros Josh Gibson.This wasn't a BIN on eBay. It was a BIN through the community.Tony breaks down why he moved three iconic cards—including his 1952 Mantle—to consolidate into a card with only 30 known copies. We talk about the card's unique history, Gibson's overdue recognition in Major League Baseball's stat books, and how collecting can become a tool to pass history down to future generations.We also break down recent BINs involving Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, and Ty Cobb—and what to look for in cards from those legends.Start 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 Tony: | InstagramFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok
