Because I'm Carlos

Sharing some thoughts on the current Fanatics vs Panini situation, also referencing some comments from before this week's happenings. Then we will discuss some random items with Hard Knocks and 2023 AEW Metal being announced.

Checking out some of the social media posts on the "Main Event" trade night and gathering from The National and some other happenings prompted me to give some thoughts on some recent and past communication mishaps and some frustrations I have with UD's AEW rollout.

Recent conversation with Jake from 90sbballcards:

I take a few minutes to talk about some things I'm expecting in the coming week or two channel-wise, talk about Darren Rovell's tweet on PWCC founder  Brent Huigens being out at PWCC and the upcoming wave of content on The National.

Appreciate Jake making time for a fun conversation.

Dramatic title notwithstanding, a recent auction has me thinking about how I value some of the remaining chases in my PC and how I factor opportunity cost and my own valuations into the equation.

Just missed getting the episode in under May, but here I chat about some curating I'm doing with some of my player collections and some thoughts on where my collecting is sitting with me at the moment.

Bonus episode from the YouTube channel:

Jason from  @cardsandcomics  is back to chat on King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch, some of the recent concerns on trimming bringing some previous stories back to the forefront, vintage card collecting, and more.

Talking about the 6 episode Goldin Touch: King of Collectibles series on Netflix and then some musings on the changing of the guard in Green Bay and my collecting thoughts coming off that.

With Wrestlecon coming up, I thought I would bring back a discussion I started back in Nov 2022 when I discussed the "Untapped Market" theory and the possible manipulation of it by folks in the YouTube space.

If you need a refresher, here is the original episode:

Since this conversation didn't involve "showing off" cards and remained primarily a discussion, here is a discussion I had with Mike, Baseball Collector from the YouTube channel.

Included below is the description of the episode:

I invited Mike (Baseball Collector) to the channel to discuss YouTube content, in particular some of the experiences with  @BenchClear  media and the development of  @CHASINGCARDBOARD  .

From there we discuss monetization in the space, some of the interesting reactions to it, and the hobby space and community around Youtube. Toss in a little National discussion and it rounds out a solid conversation.
