Repackers should be nervous because Fanatics is Coming for them.Lets talk about liquidity and consolidation.Lets also discuss how Topps Now could wipe out the repackers.
With more cards selling for below estimates than above- was the Holy Grails auction really a "Holy Fail"?- For certain individual cards- the answer is yes... but for the hobby, I don't think the answer is quite that simple.
My Son hit a big card this weekend. Lets talk about the product and lets talk about the lessons learned in the process.
Is the hobby headed in the right direction?
No matter how you slice it- this was a good weekend for the hobby!
Yes- my DMs had some passionate arguments being made- but NO- I didn't block any of them. How do you learn and grow if you don't listen to other people's opinion.
Is it ever ok to pump? Is Manipulation a good thing?
What is it about the hobby that you love? What brought you here? What keeps you here? Maybe we need to focus more on that
Lets talk about the Jordan Star 101!
A New York show with some fun characters and a situation that needed to be "mediated". What side are you on?
Topps Chrome is trash Jordan prices may be going up- but so is everything else.
Did East Coast National and Fan Fest have to be the same weekend? Can Fanatics roll out the same type of firepower in future events?
I went to East Coast National and to Fanatics Fest. I had fun at both- lets talk about the shows.
Some good- some bad. All Hobby!
Topps Chrome is trash. Am I wrong?
It is that time of year again! Time to sell! Who am I talking about? Someone I don't love... not at these prices. Not after the run up he has seen.
National is over and Fan Fest is right in front of us. Today had me asking why can't we cheer for both of them to be successful? After all, a successful Fan Fest is good for the hobby.
So you aren't going? that's ok.. buy a card!So you are there? make some content for the folks who are missing out
No Koufax? No Griffey? My Hobby Box opening with my son was an eye opener. He shocked me with his comments after our opening. Do I have to change how I hobby?
We talk about the Dallas Theft, and how it should impact what you do for Cleveland. We also talk about what Fanatics should do for Fanatics Fest.
Lets talk about the National- and why I am not going.
Is there a backlog at PSA? Is a PSA 10 now better than a BGS 10? Lets chat about this an more on today's episode.
The hobby is changing. To stay here... do I have to change as well?
I love what the MLB did with the record books to be more inclusive...but why stop there?
So much going on in the hobby- and so much to talk about. Remember.. just because they call it "reality" TV doesn't mean is actually what really happens in reality. Same for IG- the Hobby portrayed on the Gram is not the real hobby. Or is it?
Is there another flat period coming - just like the one we saw from 2008-2015? If there is- will you be here to see it through?
Do your thing. Buy what you want. Make the content you want and don't let anyone tell you what to do.
The whole thing can come crashing down! AND... stay until the end for a Cage Rant!
There is room in the hobby for everyone- even people who don't hobby the same way you do.
