The Hobby Never Sleeps is back with one of our biggest episodes yet. We pulled the absolute monster — a 1/1 Steph Curry Sapphire Padparadscha — and we break down what makes this card so rare, how Padparadscha Sapphire compares to other ultra high-end Curry cards, and where it ranks among the biggest pulls in the hobby.

We also dive into the news that Patrick Mahomes is getting his own product and what that could mean for the Mahomes card market, NFL collectors, and long-term value. Is this bullish for Mahomes cards? Could this change how collectors approach quarterback investing?

On the NBA side, we talk about why the Dunk Contest felt underwhelming this year and whether events like that actually impact player hype and sports card prices.

We also get into practical hobby advice, including how to properly store sports cards to protect your collection, which quarterbacks are worth investing in right now, and when the best time is to start investing in certain sports card products. From timing the market to understanding product cycles, we break down strategies collectors should be thinking about in today’s sports card market.

If you’re into sports card investing, rare 1/1 cards, Steph Curry cards, Mahomes cards, QB investments, and hobby market trends, this episode is packed with insight.
