Auction Talk 50 is here, and we’re celebrating 50 episodes of breaking down the biggest sales and trends in the hobby.

Super Bowl week means big moves in the football card market, and we dig into what’s happening with high-end football, how collector sentiment is shifting, and what it all means for future pricing.

We talk about:

• The rise of ultra-high-end football cards and why they’re gaining traction
• How basketball collectors continue to drive the market differently
• Prizm’s staying power and the looming impact of Topps taking over
• The biggest auctions of the week, including Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Patrick Mahomes, and a record-setting Iverson
• Super Bowl predictions, what’s at stake, and how the outcome will impact card values

Plus, we dive into the mailbag to answer your questions on non-playing-day cards, the gap between PSA 9s and 10s, and what Luka’s shocking trade to the Lakers means for his market.

A massive episode for number 50, thanks to everyone who’s been along for the ride. Enjoy, and let’s keep it rolling!
