Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 102 ratings
  • 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.

PSA Pausing Grading | Have we hit the ceiling on GOATS | TOPPS Case Hits
Q: From Cyrus, where the market the past few months has absolutely boomed for GOATS. Do you guys think we are at a ceiling? Do you think there's still room for growth? Will there be a crash?
The hosts suggest that GOATS may still have momentum, especially among top-tier athletes, but acknowledge the risk of a cooling or rebalancing scenario. They discuss how mainstream money entering the hobby tends to dampen crashes, while moderation in demand could trigger a gradual slowdown or a short-term pullback, rather than a full crash, with room for growth in select players depending on performance and pop counts.
Listener Questions - Thursday Night Live 4/30/2026
Q: Is grading still worth it for raw vintage, or is it better to skip and focus on modern cards?
They lean toward not grading raw vintage, noting that ungraded vintage remains popular with collectors, while modern cards still present opportunities when the upside justifies the cost of grading.
Listener Questions - Thursday Night Live 4/30/2026
Q: What is your view on the impact of Fanatics flooding the market on singles buying strategies?
The guests discuss that when new product floods the market, margins tighten and buyers must be more selective, often waiting for prices to come down or targeting high-potential, low-numbered cards to ride cycles rather than ripping everything.
Is the hobby booming or breaking | RPA's or Case hits? | TOPPS Monopoly
Q: Is Caitlin Clark even a top 10 WNBA player if we only look at skill and not popularity?
Skill-wise, she may be a top 10 player; however, advanced stats tell a different story, indicating fluctuations in her actual performance.

Q: Is Shadur Sanders the highest selling fifth round pick in history going into his second year?
Yes, especially in comparison to past fifth-round picks, his popularity and performance put him at the top.
