  • Losing me

    Found this show about a year ago and really enjoyed it, however, starting to lose me. Feel like every time i tune in now the discussion devolves into them talking about how buyers dont understand their margins so cant sell to them at certain prices. Sounds whiny and getting repetitive

Q: Okay, first one. The hobby is healthier than ever before, pop or drop?
Geoff answers 'pop' indicating confidence in ongoing growth and resilience of the hobby, while acknowledging fagility in currencies and prices but overall positive momentum.
Season 6 Ep 13 Marz Cardz Joins The Ballcard Show
Q: What do you see Fanatics/TOPS wanting from LCS in 2026, and how are you navigating that relationship while staying true to your community focus?
The guests describe a twofold reality: direct partnerships bring allocation benefits, but true support is still lacking in some areas; they emphasize being rooted in community, maintaining consistent branding with Cleveland, and leveraging social media to stay visible while balancing local engagement with national distributor realities.
Season 6 Ep 13 Marz Cardz Joins The Ballcard Show
Q: What did the bridge from eBay selling to opening a brick-and-mortar look like, and when did you know it was the right move?
The bridge involved testing local shows, building a customer base, and realizing the need for a dedicated space; the decision to open a shop came after sustained show activity, a growing following, and a deliberate plan to expand beyond the initial online and street-market presence.
