Then for Hobby Headlines, the guys discuss the recent Sotheby's X Fanatics first live auction of high-end sports cards and what it means for the hobby. They also talk about some of the cards that sold that night including the Shohei Ohtani Topps Chrome Sapphire Superfractor and whether any of the cards sold at the live auction were good deals or not. Clark then plays Quiz Show with Hyung testing him to see if he knows all the MLB players who were card #1 since 2016.
