Sports Cards Live 290 kicks off with co host Joe Poirot and special guest Jeff Marin of Rockhurst Auctions for a deep dive into how traditional auction houses actually work, why reserves exist, and what the latest Snipe and COMC drama says about trust in the hobby. This is the first of four segments cut from the full live stream recorded on November 22, 2025. In this episode you will hear: Jeremy's Saturday night open, with updates on the Fanatics Collect Weekly Auction Ending Watch Party, the new “From the Front Row” series with Front Row Card Show, and his recent conversation with hobby OG Brandon Steiner. Recap of Jeremy, Joe and Chris McGill's appearances on Graig's Midlife Cards channel and how those conversations set up tonight's focus on auctions, reserves and hobby trust. Gretzky rookie talk, Topps versus O Pee Chee, what population reports really tell you, and why more collectors are demanding strong eye appeal instead of just an old grade on the flip. Reaction to Dr Beckett's appearance on Hobby Hotline, the Geoff Wilson interview, and the fatigue many collectors feel around apology tours and “can we move on yet” discourse. Breakdown of the Snype launch issues after Rick Probstein's move off eBay, the site going dark on its first big night, worries about data and screenshots circulating on social, and what all of that means for any new auction platform. Discussion of fresh COMC rumors, a long time employee exiting, a tweet suggesting the company might be “in trouble,” and why broken telephone and the hobby rumor mill can distort reality fast. A full segment with Jeff Marren of Rockhurst Auctions covering how traditional auction houses handle reserves, why “active reserves” exist, why most lots actually run without reserves, how opening bids create momentum, what consignors misunderstand, and how bidders should assess whether to stay in or step out. Jeff's take on how eBay trained the hobby to chase last second “wins,” why many collectors are addicted to the idea of scoring under market, and how old hobby scars from scams and bad deals make drama based content so magnetic.

Sports Cards Live 289 continues with a big reveal and a very different kind of hobby conversation. Jeremy officially announces his upcoming book, “POPs and COMPs: Truths, Insights and the psychology behind the numbers that drive the sports card market,” and walks through what it covers, how it is structured, and why it has consumed his time for the last several months. The discussion then turns to Appendix F and why a detailed breakdown of auction house reserves, house bidding, employee bidding, and shill bidding policies feels especially relevant right now. From there, the conversation shifts into collecting philosophy, the realities of hobby drama, and a fun vintage segment around 1953 Topps icons and the concept of “flight collecting.” In this episode of Sports Cards Live 289, we discuss: • The announcement of “POPs and COMPs” and how the book grew from a 22,000 word idea into an 80,000 plus word manuscript with 83 chapters and seven appendices • The six part structure of the book, including foundations, pops, comps, integration, demand drivers, and psychology, plus why the appendices are packed with practical tools • Appendix F and its focus on auction house reserve policies, employee bidding, house bidding, and shill bidding across more than thirty companies • How the book handles sensitive topics like population control without throwing reckless accusations while still asking hard questions collectors care about • Why Jeremy chose self publishing on Amazon to keep creative control and move faster rather than waiting a year or more for a traditional route • A first tease of the separate web based project being built with a software development team, what the MVP timeline looks like, and why it is designed to compete with nobody yet be useful to everybody • Leighton's perspective on ignoring daily hobby drama, focusing on family, store level reality, and why a clear educational resource is badly needed right now • Joe's 1953 Topps “flight” approach to collecting Mantle, Jackie, and Satchel Paige, along with a thought experiment about a hypothetical 1952 Topps high number Satchel and what that would mean for value and priority • A quick recap of the Jackie Robinson Museum event and how well run hobby experiences connect history, education, and collecting Your comments and questions drive the show, so share your thoughts on the book concept, Appendix F, auction house transparency, and how you approach building your own collection.

Sports Cards Live 289 kicks off with a heavy dose of real hobby talk. Jeremy and Joe open the show with collector shout outs, Expo reflections, and then dive into a powerful story driven pickup that has nothing to do with chasing comps and everything to do with history, scarcity, and meaning. From there, the conversation turns blunt as they walk through a rough SGC vintage submission, what the grades looked like, and what it might say about where grading is heading right now. Along the way, Jeremy starts to peel back the curtain on the long teased Appendix F project and how it fits into the broader auction and grading landscape. In this episode of Sports Cards Live 289, we discuss: • The story behind an 1888 Goodwin Champions Isaac Murphy card and why it instantly became a top twenty piece • How history, racial context, and true scarcity can make a “modest” card feel like a grail • The reality of shipping, authentication, and the fear of losing an irreplaceable vintage card in the mail • A frustrating SGC grading return on clean 1973 Topps cards and why the grades did not match collector expectations • What collectors are seeing from SGC lately, from stricter standards to fears that the brand is being left to die • Why PSA's guarantee and fee structure still shape the market and how secondary buyers benefit from that insurance • Early hints about Appendix F and how auction house policies and grading companies collide in today's hobby Your comments and questions drive the show, so share your thoughts on story driven collecting, grading changes, and the future of SGC.

We unpack why these mixed-media, heavy-foil, die-cut designs still slap, how binders keep sets fun and affordable, and where to hunt budget-friendly shine. Then we zoom out: is a superstar championship good for the hobby? Should acquired Panini brands (Prizm, NT, Kaboom) go dormant for a few years or continue uninterrupted? Plus the new Topps NBA flagship—do “first Topps” cards matter, how do one-of-one ‘First Off the Press' parallels change the chase, and what the long NBA/NFL licensing shift means for collectors.

I veckans avsnitt så jag går jag igenom 5 enkla tankesätt som skiljer toppsäljare från resten! In och lyssna, nu kör vi!
On today's episode, I talk to journalist and writer David J. Roth. Raised in Ridgewood, New Jersey, David started out his writing career writing and editing content for the backs of Topps trading cards. This led to writing for The Wall Street Journal's sports blog, co-founding and editing his own sports blog The Classical, and contributing to Vice and The Baffler, as well as many other publications. In 2017, David became an editor-at-large at Deadspin, and two years later, he and the entire writing and editorial staff resigned, protesting major editorial interference from the private equity holding company that had bought the publication. The following year, David and a number of the other former Deadspin writers formed Defector Media, one of the exciting new worker-owned journalism companies, and in the last five years, it has become one of the most well-regarded sites online. In addition to all of this, David also hosts the wonderful Defector podcast The Distraction. This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, follow me on Twitter.

This episode hits hard with real talk about where the economy is heading, how it's impacting home service companies, and what you should be doing right now to stay afloat—or even grow. Ryan digs into urgent business strategy as layoffs sweep across major corporations like Amazon and UPS. With nearly a million jobs cut already this year, the economic signs are clear: it's time to tighten up operations, evaluate your spend, and pivot to what's working. Ryan shares the mindset, financial exercises, and decision-making framework he's using inside Aaron Overhead Doors, including a candid look at a failed radio ad campaign, trimming the fat on expenses, and doubling down on sales and automation.He announces an upcoming mastermind happening in Atlanta on December 6–7, focused on sales management, department structure, accountability, automation, and AI-driven efficiency. Whether you manage a sales team or are trying to become one, this limited event is designed to give you the tools to lead and grow in a tight economy.Ryan also discusses the shifting retail and supply chain landscape—how companies like Topps and Upper Deck are cutting out the middleman and how that same trend might hit garage door distributors soon. He warns of consolidation, rising competition, and the danger of cheap, unbranded operators driving customer expectations down.If you're feeling like you're working harder for the same revenue, you're not alone. Ryan talks through creating 90-day sprint plans, watching cash more frequently, eliminating waste, and rethinking where and how to spend ad dollars. He explains why now is not the time to pull back on marketing—but to get laser-focused on ROI, automation, and converting every lead.The episode closes with encouragement. It's not all doom and gloom—there's opportunity if you stay calm, keep your mindset positive, and lead your team with confidence. Your energy sets the tone, and culture might just be the thing that pulls your business through this rough season.Subscribe now, drop a comment if this resonated, and don't forget to hit Ryan up if you're interested in the mastermind event or just want to connect.Want in on the December mastermind?
