    I enjoy Swag and Automatic Comics on YouTube, and this podcast amplifies their output with great discussions and opinions. I’m personally not into cards, but I like hearing about the big stories driving that market. These guys address the hobby seriously, while recognizing the absurdities in the market. Always a great listen!
