Josh Adams joins Jeremy and Joe to close out the night and reflect on the first public reveal of the Hobby Spectrum project. The chat reacts in real time, asking about access keys, badges, the directory, archetype blends, the science behind the scoring system, and how collectors will eventually share and connect based on their profiles.

Jeremy explains how early access works, why the waiting list is open, and how testers so far have responded to their archetype results. Joe shares what it was like to take the assessment, including how tough some questions can be when they force real self reflection. The conversation turns to how the directory will function, why opt in privacy matters, and how this tool can help collectors find people who think and collect the same way.

From there, the group moves into wider hobby issues. Josh presses Jeremy about the PSA 9 to 10 controversy and the idea of reevaluation without new cert numbers. They talk through what makes the story suspicious, what is known so far, and where transparency is still missing. They also connect the dots between PSA Vault offers, approved buyers, repackers, and the structural opacity around who is actually placing bids and offers.

The chat then raises the question of legal exposure for Upper Deck after the Gretzky Exquisite Tribute Cup card surfaced with a smudged autograph and a completely different patch than the solicitation image. Jeremy and Josh walk through the legal reality versus the ethical reality, why mockups give companies cover, and why the right move would still be to replace the card to protect the brand.

The episode winds down with talk of auctions, employee bidding, the collector experience at shows, and a bit of football before Jeremy closes the night with gratitude for everyone who has helped bring the Hobby Spectrum to life.
