Max Bennett and Lisa Vega delve into the hype, hustle, and hidden agendas of the sports card market. Are sports cards the next great investment or just overpriced cardboard fueled by nostalgia and FOMO?

From jaw-dropping auction prices to secretive trading circles, we expose the madness behind “investing” in cards with athletes’ faces. Are collectors sitting on a goldmine or a ticking bubble ready to burst? With sharp analysis, biting humor, and zero mercy, we peel back the glossy layers on the sports card craze and ask: is this really a smart play, or are we all just getting played?
