Establish The Collection

After a week off Gary and Cody get together to discuss how Formula One's meteoric rise domestically is impacting the Topps F1 market and how to take advantage. Will the Drive to Survive and DFS bump continue to push prices to new highs? Now that Topps Chrome box prices have spiked, what's the best way to get involved in F1 collectibles? Then Cody discusses the release of Panini's 2022 UFC Prizm product and whether collectors should be buying into Panini's sophomore release. 

In one of the craziest transaction weeks in NFL history we saw plenty of player movement shake up the collectibles landscape. Gary and Cody break down the fallout from the first wave of offseason news and prepare for what's to come. The guys also look ahead to the 2022 F1 race calendar in an extended edition of Winning Formula. Gary gives a Formula One primer before telling you everything you need to know to be a successful F1 collector.
