Listen Later

In this episode of Global Card Collectors, Will and John break down one of the biggest moments in Will’s collecting journey: finally landing a Giannis Antetokounmpo rookie autograph with his early, full signature after more than a year of chasing it.They walk through the entire process behind the acquisition, from missed bids and dead ends to offers, counteroffers, and ultimately getting the deal done. From there, the conversation opens up into a broader discussion about how collecting changes over time, moving away from impulse buys and toward patience, intention, and having a clear sense of direction.The episode also dives into one of John’s favorite insert sets, International Treasures, and what makes it resonate with collectors. With its focus on international players and a design that centers on flags, the set stands out as something for collectors who value rarity, context, and storytelling within the hobby, they're also perfect for global citizens.It’s a relaxed, in-depth conversation between friends who know the hobby well and enjoy unpacking the why behind the chase.
