This week on Auction Talk, Nic from The Wharf Sports Cards and I go deep into auction trends, and the conversation takes a turn right away. We spend time analyzing a key threshold—$3,000—and what it tells us about the market’s health.

Collectors are making moves, consolidating into bigger cards, and the numbers back it up. We discuss:

• The rise in $3K+ sales and what it means
• Why GOATs like MJ, LeBron, Kobe, Brady, and Bonds continue to dominate
• Set collectors quietly shaping the market (2012 Prizm Gold, anyone?)
• The psychology behind moving cards and reworking collections
• National Treasures—is the decline happening in real time?

We also hit on the biggest auctions from the past week, including some wild sales that had us scratching our heads.
