Because I'm Carlos

Back for the first pod of 2023, I share some thoughts on Collector "First World Problems" when a collection comes up for sale that I certainly can't afford, some thoughts on how I structure different videos/content on the channel with the example of the recent Fanatics foray into streaming.

Cleaning up my channel subscriptions led me down thinking about creating content and some of the considerations I have in continuously making videos or podcasts consistently.

Thought I would outline some items for the rest of 2022 coming up on the channel in audio format.

After that, the main topic is a discussion on the "Untapped Market" theory as I describe it, after listening to a recent live stream from "The Great Curator" where he described his idea to attend WrestleCon and "introduce" that market to wrestling trading cards.

Such a transparent attempt to drum up a market I thought would make good fodder for a discussion of the "Untapped Market" concept and discuss why I don't buy it for most cases.

Discussing my thought process as I'm trying to work through what I'm planning to do with the upcoming AEW Spectrum product.

As a collector, I want to pay the least amount possible, but with all the factors available how do I make decisions about that? How is the current hobby climate impact that?

Just me talking through it on the pod.

My discussion with  @She Blinded Me With Refractors  on the channel as well:

With things slowing down on all fronts in the Fall of 2022 I discuss content and how that, amongst other things has been allowing me to find my enjoyment in participating in the hobby as things keep shifting around.

Some thoughts on avoiding being stuck with tunnel vision, the fun of having different projects (without too much of a good thing), and some hobby thoughts on a labor day weekend.

For this one, I have some fun talking about my recent return to Wrestling cards a little bit, some more discussion on the irrationality of the market with some examples, and some content shoutouts in case you're interested in learning more.

I had mentioned in a recent mail day of 2006 Razor poker cards that I wanted to take some time to talk a little more about them.

This is that podcast. So in this one, I go back down memory lane thinking about past WSOP, my memories from the poker boom, and getting into poker in 2003. My run watching and playing a lot of online poker in those days and a little musical nostalgia to finish things off.

Oh and I do talk about the cards a little as well :P

Throwback to when you could actually listen (yes, listen) to the World Series of Poker back in 2005:

With the summer months underway and the card and economics markets in flux, I thought it would be a good time to go over the things that I'm thinking about in the Summer of 2022 and some of the other aspects beyond just the economic indicators that I think are factors and some things to observe as we go approach the National and other shows leading into the fall.

These are my thoughts as always and welcome any comments you have on the subject.

Finally reaching episode 20 after a hiatus for the audio version, I discuss the current state of my 2022 Goals and some adjustments I'm facing with potential financial headwinds we're seeing out there in the world.

Also open to thoughts on potential future topics you'd like to see discussed in this format.
