4.5 out of 5 stars from 100 ratings
  • Not great production

    The content they discuss is good but the production isn’t good. I was listening to an episode and it just cuts off no outro and then they load the second half the next day . So if you just found the podcast you might come in on the middle of a conversation. If an episode is gonna be 2 parts there still needs to be a intro and outro for the episode

  • Bring back full episodes

    I enjoy this show. It’s always a mixed bag and I do have some issues with it… but I kinda like it that way. I like that every episode is different and some connect with me better than others. I think it should be that way.

    One thing I don’t like is how they started splitting up the podcasts into five episodes. I don’t understand the logic (or absence of). To make it more digestible I guess? That makes no sense. Just because the full episode is available in one chunk doesn’t mean you have to lis... more

  • Go Back to old Format

    I dislike that the pod is now split in to multiple episodes. Makes it much more difficult to listen in order.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Grading Fees and Monopolies + The Social Side of the Hobby + Directory Milestone
Q: What was the catalyst for people to go from private collector to more public, more social media involvement in their hobbying?
The catalyst might just be wanting to share collections and meet people with similar interests, like when one collector reached out to join the show after having a conversation about their cards.
Card Shows by the Numbers + The Value of Hobby Friendships + Who Really “Owns” a Player’s Legacy
Q: What team do you associate a player with, especially an iconic player when they change teams?
Collectors often determine a player's primary team based on their most impactful moments and success.
Vintage Community Tension + Sports vs TCG Reality + The New Hobby Mainstream
Q: Leighton, what are your thoughts on the hobby becoming more niche?
I think the niche services will grow as the barrier to entry is lower for them compared to major auction houses.
PSA Acquires Beckett: Is Any Monopoly Ever Good for Collectors?
Q: What was the reason for PSA's acquisition of Beckett then, if it wasn't to block Fanatics?
It was suggested that one reason could be to eliminate the risk of Fanatics acquiring Beckett and becoming a stronger competitor, thereby fortifying PSA's market position ahead of an IPO.
PSA Acquires Beckett: Is Any Monopoly Ever Good for Collectors?
Q: Is there ever a scenario in our hobby where a monopoly or something close to it could be good?
Participants ponder whether a larger entity could benefit collectors, with some suggesting that it might lead to better grading standards, while others are skeptical about any benefits.
