  • Can’t do it

    One host insulting the other for an hour. Has become unlistenable to me due to one obnoxious host.

  • Is Mike and Ben Shapiro the same?

    Has Mike and Ben Shapiro ever been seen in the same room? Seriously, it’s the same voice.

  • I've enjoyed listening to this podcast, but the comment about clapping like someone with Down Syndrome was unnecessary. One of my sons, who loves cards, has Down Syndrome. He probably doesn't need to hear that on a podcast.

  • Great show with hiccups

    I really like the show. Great information given, tips and tricks. Mike very knowledgeable and opinionated. Sometimes likes to hear himself over anything else, no matter who’s feelings might be affected. Which can take the show off the rails. Nothing like a quick hit of the 30 sec button.

  • Decent sports card pod

    Good podcast most of the time. I wish the episodes were a bit more consistently organized around cards since some of the discussion can get a bit weird or come off as bragging at times. Besides that I enjoy it. Mike doesn’t bother me as much as some of the other reviewers have said.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Art of the Sale
Q: When is the right time to sell?
The guests discuss weighing market momentum against replaceability, advising to consider whether you can replace the card later and to avoid overreacting to short‑term swings; profits should be taken when a card has likely peaked and you can replace it later if needed.
Beware of Counterfeit Cards
Q: What is the motivation behind the digital Instant Packs initiative?
To improve accessibility to high-end products and create a new, engaging digital ripping experience that still ties to physical cards, with a vaulting ecosystem and potential for grading and trading on Collect.
Time to Take Some Wins
Q: What is your stance on a potential 10-20% correction in the hobby?
Take some money off the table, be patient, and consider the longer-term prospects rather than panicking; you can still enjoy the chase while protecting downside.
Michael Rubin and Mike Mahan on Growing The Hobby
Q: How do you balance the breaker model with traditional hobby shops to maintain a good collector experience?
The goal is to support both sides because they each contribute to accessibility and education; however, the focus is on the collector experience and ensuring pricing remains fair, with emphasis on maintaining MSRP in stores and controlling allocation to reward authentic shops.
Post-National FOMO? Plus, Logan Paul & Gary Vee and Gronk!
Q: What are your thoughts on the market between now and the end of the year?
The consensus is that there will be steady numbers with potential near-term softness after big events, but strong ongoing demand from upcoming releases and sports seasons could stabilize prices.
