Collecting Cardboard

Rob's back from vacation, Eric's buying Bowman and a cool feature on MLB The Show 2023.

Sorry about the delay on this but Rob was on vacation and forgot to post it prior to heading to Disney with the family. Baseball Classic is Awesome! Eric is buying Pokemon. ESPN Top 100 Players List.

2023 Topps Big League is no longer a kids product. What exactly is a rookie card anyways?  Eric is in the black and Rob bought a prom dress...for his daughter.  Point of Clarification: The Ryan Mountcastle card Rob picked up and mentions in the show is actually a 2016 Bowman Chrome prospects card. His First Bowman was in fact in 2015, proving yet again, Rob's an idiot.

Rob shares a dream he had as well as news out of the Topps Conference and how will changes to baseballs rules possibly impact trading cards.

Eric bought himself a Jumbo case of 2023 Topps Series 1.  We talk about COMC and CSG's partnership and Fanatic's live break plans. What is card cleaning and is it ok? Plus other random banter.  

Eric and Rob give their time frame for what the junk wax era is and some of the cards in them.  Also, the importance of stretching before going to look at cards as well as Rob's new found love of late 90's cards and Erics continued appreciation for them. Where's the market right now and some advice on comping cards (don't be a jerk about it). 

A recap of a couple card shows from the past two weeks, plus a Would You Rather segment, and the guys first Give Away. Don't miss out on the fun.

Rob already crossed off a New Years resolution. Eric got a couple "dimes" and a little high end wax talk.

PSA's new pricing level and what it means. SGC is still a good value. Are pitchers done making the HOF? What predictions and goals do the guys have for the new year?  Happy Holidays and Happy New year!

Yes, Rob can keep Eric awake, but can we keep you, our listening audience awake? Rob likes the value in Yordan Alvarez cards, do you? Eric thinks Christian Pulisic is a buy now, so what are you waiting for?
