  • Genuine show from Genuine people

    A lot of podcasts that are hobby focused can get bogged down by constantly highlighting the same issues with the hobby over and OVER again more so than the good parts and the parts that actually mean something to them.

    The hosts of this show do an excellent job of getting their genuine love of the hobby to come through and it really makes for a wonderful listening (or watching) experience. Exce... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Collecting Becomes Compulsion with Alyx Effron of Collectors MD (Ep. 273)
Q: Why have collectibles platforms not adopted safeguards similar to DraftKings and FanDuel, and do you see that happening?
Effron says collectibles lack a standardized responsible-collecting framework comparable to regulated gambling. Collectors MD is not a regulator or lobbying organization, but it works with platforms and industry groups to promote education, safeguards, and access to support.
When Collecting Becomes Compulsion with Alyx Effron of Collectors MD (Ep. 273)
Q: What is intentional collecting?
Effron describes it as staying in control of collecting through awareness, boundaries, budgets, accountability, and reflection before purchases. It may also mean taking breaks or abstaining when collecting causes harm.
How Upper Deck Builds Hockey Cards with Paul Zickler (Ep. 272)
Q: How do you try and engage the young and rookie players as well as keeping engagement with the veterans?
Zickler says rookies are often eager to participate, while veteran relationships require a more considered approach. Upper Deck and the Players Association look for athletes who are genuinely interested in collecting and create opportunities that fit their interests.
How Upper Deck Builds Hockey Cards with Paul Zickler (Ep. 272)
Q: How long have Upper Deck been making NHL cards or hockey cards?
Zickler says Upper Deck has made NHL cards since 1990–91 and is the longest-standing NHL and NHLPA license partner.
From Collector to Sketch Card Artist with Tim Colon (Ep. 271)
Q: How did you get into sketch cards and land your first Upper Deck opportunity?
