In this episode of Card Ladder Confidential, Brett sits down with Chris and Josh from Card Ladder to unpack a year of major shifts in collecting and the market. The trio kick things off with a Mount Rushmore of Panini athletes before diving deep into the emotional and analytical sides of collecting. Chris shares how his approach to collecting Michael Jordan one-of-ones has completely changed his perspective, while Josh talks about why he’s gone all-in on one-of-one football cards. They also break down new data on high-end auctions, explore what the same names at the top really mean for the hobby, and discuss what comes next as Fanatics and Topps take over basketball and football licensing.

This one’s loaded with perspective, data, and honest reflection from three people who care deeply about where the hobby is headed.
