Collectable Daily: Giving Collectibles the Business

Our week of football- and fractional-speak continues, as Rich Mueller discusses the potential value of Joe Burrow cards -- that's right, Joe Burrow -- as well as the impact Collectable has had on the old-school hobby landscape.

Ryan Friedman discusses recent trends in the auction world (spoiler alert: things are pointing up), and, with Collectable's one-year anniversary just days away, muses about how fractional ownership has impacted traditional auctions.

The Card Ladder team discusses how the hobby could be impacted by the NFL season, and how the hobby has been impacted by fractional ownership.

Collectable's one-year anniversary is September 10, so it's the ideal time for our founder to discuss the company's origin story.

In an epic game of Hot or Not, Jesse Craig discusses the relative steaminess of Luka Doncic, the 2021 rookie QB class, Josh Allen and game worn memorabilia.

The Altan Insights team takes a deep dive into recent trends in the alternative asset space, touching on NFTs, historical memorabilia, video games, and, of course, sports stuff.

The start of the NBA season is months away, but hoops trading cards start dropping this week, and Slava Rubin offered his thoughts on the most (and least) interesting players in whom hobbyists should invest.

In a wide-ranging, surprisingly serious conversation, Jesse, Mike, and Alan discuss diversifying your investment portfolio, the importance of work/life/hobby balance, and, y'know, football. 

With the record-breaking Honus Wagner T206 sale still fresh in our minds, the man who literally wrote the book about the card discusses Wagner's legacy in the hobby and on the field, as well as the shadier side of the hobby.

This week, we learned that Fanatics locked down exclusive deals with MLB, the NBA, and the NFL to produce their respective trading cards. Topps and Panini, the current licensees, were caught completely by surprise—a week ago, none of us had any idea that the hobby would be looking at a new world order. This is a big deal, and a big deal calls for a big show, and a big show means…roundtable!
