  • Limited info

    Have listened to 7-10 episodes so far. Has very limited card content. Much of the episodes are random conversations with the guest and not related to the title. Not the best source for card info.

  • Each one, teach one!

    This is a very enjoyable podcast. Like coffee with buddies, and absent the inflated “hobby-hype” that some shows live on. Appreciate the coverage of less mainstream matters, ie. womens soccer, WNBA, etc. Keep up the good work, teach!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LCS Overcharging | Blue X-Fractors| Balancing the hobby | Signs of a slowdown
Q: What do you think could be signs of the sports card market coming down from a high point?
The hosts point to sellers trying to unload cards and insufficient buying, while suggesting that activity and dealer pricing at larger card shows offer a better market gauge than eBay listings alone.
LCS Overcharging | Blue X-Fractors| Balancing the hobby | Signs of a slowdown
Q: Do I say anything to the manager about what appears to be a clear-cut case of taking advantage of a newbie, or do I laugh it off and just chalk it up to the hobby going to hobby?
Both hosts recommend raising the issue politely, particularly because the listener has an ongoing relationship with the shop. They say addressing it may help prevent newcomers from being treated unfairly.
Dealer Perspective | Staying Positive | Sourcing Inventory | Liquidating Leftovers
Q: How do you avoid burning out at shows, and does recording your interactions help with that?
Steve explains that burnout is a real aspect of dealer life, but staying engaged with the process, focusing on positive moments, and using recorded interactions to reflect on negotiations helps maintain perspective and motivation.
Spend 10K | Mahomes Pricing | Singles | Barry Bonds Market
Q: Which would be more impactful: searchable Whatnot sales for the last three years or no eBay sold data?
They argue that having searchable Whatnot sales would provide a valuable, transparent data point for pricing and decision-making, potentially replacing some reliance on eBay data while acknowledging trade-offs and market dynamics.
Spend 10K | Mahomes Pricing | Singles | Barry Bonds Market
Q: If you had $10,000 to buy cards split between PC and buying cards to make money slash investing, how would you spend it?
They suggest splitting roughly 60/40 or 50/50 between core PC/high-upside investments and liquid, growing blocks of 'goats' (iconic stars) while maintaining liquidity; focus on scarce, high-upside items for the longer term and reserve some funds for safer, liquid names for quick flips.
