In Episode 11 of The Vintage Spotlight, Jeremy Lee and Leighton Sheldon dig deep into one of the most nuanced topics in the hobby: “own appeal” vs. “eye appeal.” Sparked by a video from Dan’s Vintage Baseball PC, the guys explore whether owning a rough copy of a grail is better than holding out for a cleaner version — and what it means for how we build our collections.
The conversation heats up with a detailed comparison of two T206 Honus Wagner cards: one restored and sharp, the other tattered and raw — and double the price. Which would you rather own?
Also in this episode:
Why collectors may be turning to vintage amid modern market instability
A preview of Fanatics Fest and goals for The National
A look at Matty C’s new project, Eye Appeal Inc
Reflections on hobby community, fatherhood, and the joy of collecting
This one’s a blend of insight, fun, and hobby philosophy — classic Vintage Spotlight.
Vintage Spotlight is a spinoff podcast from the Sports Cards Live segment of the same name, which Leighton has regularly appeared on since 2022.
