Has grading become the hobby? And which basketball company actually owns the future: Topps or Panini?PSA says it has a 10 million card backlog and is suspending several submission levels. At the same time, a Victor Wembanyama Black Prizm 1/1 sells for $5.11 million, a LeBron James Topps Chrome Superfractor Auto sells for $1.26 million, and the hobby's most famous missing redemption card finally resurfaces.This week the guys debate whether grading has become more important than collecting, whether Panini is really losing relevance, and what collectors are actually paying for when million-dollar cards change hands.Plus, Topps and Panini both launch new basketball products in the same week, leading to a bigger question: are collectors chasing cards, or chasing outcomes?In This EpisodePSA pauses multiple grading tiers10 million card backlog discussionTopps Signature Class BasketballPanini Signature Series BasketballBlind Ranking: Hobby AccomplishmentsWembanyama Black Prizm 1/1 sells for $5.11MLeBron Chrome Superfractor Auto sells for $1.26MThe Mantle redemption has finally been foundBiggest grading fee in Grand Slam historyJosh's Crazy Stat of the WeekFeatured Stories & LinksPSA Suspends Submission Levelshttps://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1606829914782841&id=100063675425060Victor Wembanyama Black Prizm 1/1 Sells for $5.11 Millionhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/sportscardsnonsense/permalink/1932782434373082/LeBron James Topps Chrome Superfractor Auto Sells for $1.26 Millionhttps://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1441067771395889The Mantle Redemption Has Been Foundhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/sportscardsnonsense/permalink/1934653164186009/Topps Signature Class Basketballhttps://www.topps.com/pages/topps-signature-class-basketballPanini Signature Series Basketballhttps://www.paniniamerica.net/2025-26-panini-signatures-series-basketball-trading-card-box-hobby.htmlBecause every card has a story.#talkingshoppodcast #SportsCards#CardCollecting#VictorWembanyama#LeBronJames#PSA#PaniniPrizm#ToppsChrome#SportsCardInvesting#BasketballCards

The mailbag delivers. Listener emails this week include a baseball honeymoon, a Jeopardy-funded wedding (not a typo), and a fan who shipped over APBA game materials and a stack of 1972 Topps cards. That last one matters by the end of the episode. In BP, Jeff and Mark work through the week's oddities: batters watching their own strikeout replays in real time, the phrase "circuit clout" making a comeback, Elmo showing up in the Phillies booth alongside John Kruk, Jazz Chisholm wearing Giancarlo Stanton's pants to break a slump, and a genuinely strange roster trivia note involving the Marlins, Cardinals, and Twins. The main segment is 1988. Specifically, what happens when a pitcher gets so locked in that the league starts to feel likeit's 1968 all over again. Orel Hershiser threw 59 consecutive scoreless innings that year — breaking Don Drysdale's record — and won the Cy Young while doing it. Jeff puts it in context against Bob Gibson's 1968, the last time people seriously asked whether pitchers had broken the sport. The episode closes with Wax Pack Heroes, using the 1972 Topps cards the listener sent in. 00:00 Cold Open and Welcome 00:18 On Location and Mariners Talk 01:31 Mailbag Honeymoon Baseball Stories 04:15 APBA Surprise and Wax Packs 07:19 BP Big Screens and Circuit Clouts 09:11 Elmo in the Broadcast Booth 10:52 Jazz Chisholm Wears Stantons Pants 13:22 Weird MLB Three Team Trivia 15:01 NCIS New Orleans Baseball Cameos 16:54 Year of the Pitcher Part Deux 44:35 Wax PackHeroes 01:07:10 Thanks Plugs Signoff Connect With Us YouTube: www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise BlueSky: @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Email: twostrikenoise@gmail.com Support a Great Cause: Don't let your common cards collect dust!

Jeff and Mark return and open with BP topics including Bobby Witt Jr.'s inside-the-park homer and a minor-league inside-the-park home run created when a fielder slid on a ball and unknowingly plugged it under the turf. They discuss Cal Raleigh ending an 0-for-38 slump by showering in full uniform, then going on the IL, and debate complaints about constant in-stadium audio at Yankee Stadium, including claims Aaron Judge wants Madison Square Garden-style energy and even signals the production booth. In Tales from the Dugout, Mark explains “Eddie Sissons Syndrome” for exaggerated baseball biographies, while Jeff shares an 1883 carrier-pigeon score delivery system and the story of Clarence “Climax” Blethyn's dentures biting him during a slide.

Welcome to Card Foundation Podcast Episode 273.

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.

In our 139th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open by discussing the disastrous Giants along with exciting call-ups and a few injuries impacting fantasy leagues.

Dr. Beckett and Rich Klein discuss a listener question about why some 1990 Topps football cards have a back disclaimer (and hash mark variations), speculating it relates to Pro Set's “official card of the NFL” status, NFL/NFLPA licensing turmoil, and possibly different print runs or printing locations. They also talk about card show logistics, including using hallway or side-room tables to create seating and to draw traffic into less-visited rooms by placing autograph guests or services there. The episode then shifts to the 1993 Topps R&N China/Porcelain cards, noting subtle variations, uncertainty about the checklist, and the difficulty of valuing rarely seen singles like an Orlando Merced card without reliable comps, leading into a broader discussion of “price above replacement,” dealer pricing, customer relationships, and the risks of selling items displayed at outdated prices.   00:41 1990 Topps Disclaimer Mystery 02:16 Pro Set Influence and 1992 Chaos 04:52 Pro Set Press and Overproduction 05:44 Show Tables and Floor Layout 07:13 1993 Porcelain Parallel Debate 09:51 Pricing Without Comps      

What is the number one mistake collectors make when sending cards to PSA? In this exclusive interview inside the Arena Club Studio at Cards HQ, I sit down with PSA Executive Chris Carlin to demystify the grading process and give you a massive advantage on your next submission. Whether you are grading high-end vintage sports cards or ultramodern TCG, understanding how PSA operates behind the scenes is crucial for maximizing your card's value. Chris breaks down the internal workings of the grading room, the psychology behind population reports, and the specific things graders look for that most collectors completely miss. We also tackle the hobby's most controversial topics head-on, from upcharges and grading consistency to the highly debated "crack and resubmit" culture. In this episode, we cover: The Biggest Grading Mistake: Why overlooking a card's surface (shim lines, thumbnail prints, and hidden creases) is the easiest way to ruin your chances of a PSA 10. Pop Reports & Counterfeits: The truth behind population report scarcity versus real market demand, plus the alarming rise of highly sophisticated fake Pokmon booster boxes and forged Mickey Mantle autographs. Cracking & Resubmitting: Is cracking a PSA 9 to chase a PSA 10 actually worth the risk? We discuss the psychology of the "crack out" game and when to use PSA's Review Service instead. Upcharges & Consistency: Why PSA issues price adjustments, the power of their comprehensive grade guarantee, and how they train graders for six months to maintain consistency while processing 100,000 cards a day. The Future of the Hobby: How eBay integration and the Set Registry are evolving, plus why alternative assets like graded Sports Illustrated magazines, comic books, and One Piece TCG are exploding in popularity. Rare Hobby History: Chris shares incredible authenticated pieces from his personal collection, including a 1976 Topps player contract and an iconic internal memo from Upper Deck's founder.

https://teachhoops.com/ As a fixture in the Madison, Wisconsin, basketball community for nearly three decades, Coach Stephen Collins has seen the game evolve from leather balls and short shorts to the era of advanced analytics and digital coaching clinics. After a 27-year tenure at Madison Memorial, Coach Collins is shifting his focus toward digital mentorship and building the next generation of leaders. We sat down with the veteran instructor and coach to discuss the "muck and grind" of a long career, the overlap between the classroom and the court, and what's next on his whiteboard. Interviewer: Coach, 27 years at one program is a rarity in today's coaching climate. When you look back at that first season in Madison compared to your final whistle last spring, what is the most profound change you've noticed? Coach Collins: The speed—not just of the players, but of the information. When I started, we were trading physical VHS tapes and drawing plays on napkins. Now, players have access to every NBA highlight and breakdown on their phones before they even hit the locker room. But while the technology changed, the "Human Element" remained exactly the same. You still have to look a kid in the eye and make them believe they are capable of more than they thought. The 27 years taught me that players don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Interviewer: You've spent a significant portion of your career teaching Advanced Placement Statistics. How does a deep understanding of probability and data affect your late-game decision-making? Coach Collins: It's a double-edged sword. In the classroom, we talk about the Law of Large Numbers—the idea that as a sample size grows, the observed mean will get closer to the expected value. On the court, I know that a high-volume shooter is "due" for a make, or that our Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$) is higher when we touch the paint. But coaching is where the "Statistically Significant" meets the "Humanly Unpredictable." You can have a $95%$ confidence interval that a certain play will work, but if a teenager is having a bad day or loses focus for a split second, that $5%$ "error" happens. My background in stats helps me stay calm; it reminds me to focus on the Process rather than the outcome of a single possession. Interviewer: You've transitioned into a major role with platforms like TeachHoops.com, essentially coaching the coaches. What prompted the shift into the digital space? Coach Collins: It was about scale. At Memorial, I could impact 12 to 15 players a year. Through digital communities and podcasts, I can help a coach in Ireland or a youth director in San Francisco solve a problem in real-time. Coaching can be a very lonely profession—that "Alone in the Crowd" feeling is real. I wanted to build a "Digital Truth Room" where coaches could find the resources, sets like the Princeton or Shuffle Offense, and the community support they need to avoid burnout. Interviewer: We hear you're a man of many interests outside the gym—from high-end sports trading cards to planning trips to the Orlando theme parks. How do you "unplug" after a long season? Coach Collins: You have to find your "Magic" somewhere. For me, the focus required to analyze a Topps or Bowman release or the logistics of navigating a family trip to Disney provides a different kind of mental challenge. It's about balance. After 27 years of being "Coach Collins" 24/7, I've learned that being a good husband and father is the only "stat" that truly lasts.

Why traditional, low-cost sticker albums may become a thing of the past and what that means for nostalgic collectors and new entrants alike.We also cover the evolving digital and hybrid collectibles space, exploring how blockchain, NFTs, and physical-digital integrations could open new avenues for consumer engagement — but with risks and uncertainties. Plus, we analyze the broader impact on regional markets, in-country releases, and the future collector experience. Why missing this change could mean losing your competitive edge in the hobby or missing out on prime investing opportunities.If you've ever wondered how this market shake-up affects your collection, investment, or passion, this episode is essential listening. We delve into the opportunities, the pitfalls, and what the future might hold as one of the most beloved sports and hobby sectors undergoes its most profound transformation in decades. Whether you're a sticker fan, a card reseller, or a digital-shy collector, understanding this shift could be your best move yet. Get ahead of the curve and stay informed. This isn't just another industry update — it's your playbook for the future of soccer collectibles in a changing world.

The Chicago Cubs are on a tear. The Northside faithful can feel a dynasty building beneath their feet, with every pitch, every hit, and every run coming home. And now they have a hero.In what was seen as the most lopsided and controversial transfers in baseball, even while it was happening, the New York Yankees placed their star pitcher Hank Borowy on waivers, and the Cubs slammed $100,000 into the Bronx Bombers' outstretched hands. The Cubs needed to win right now, and the chequebook  is wide open. Two days after he went on waivers, Borowy is stepping on the mound at Wrigley Field, ready to prove the Yankees wrong and take his new club to the National League pennant. It's a five-game series against the Cincinnati Reds, and the Cubs have won the first four games. Handing his new team a sweep would make for a memorable first game.It's also worth noting that we have players such as the anchorman Stan Hack at third base, and Phil Cavarretta on his way to the NL Batting Championship and the 1945 NL MVP, for the Cubs. For the Reds, you have the inspirational Dick Sipek, the first deaf player in the majors since Herbert Murphy in 1914, and the Iron Man Frank McCormick, fresh from his 652 consecutive appearances record during World War 2.The Cubs are heading to the top of the mountain; they are unstoppable, and they have the world at their feet. But, as we know thanks to the advantage of history,  there's a billy goat waiting for the Cubs at the end of the season. Until that happens, let's share the joy in Wrigley Field as the Cubs charge towards the pennant with their brand new pitcher.Ewan Spence and the Classic Baseball Radio team bring you this recreated radio broadcast from July 29, 1945. This should not be considered a complete or fully accurate historical record.

Topps Chrome Football) more accessible to the public.
