This week we talk 2000s inserts. Which are the best? Worst? Do any standout for other reasons? How do they compare to other eras of inserts?

It’s no secret that we’ve all been critical of Topps’ return foray into basketball cards. Nearing the six month mark since retrieving the card license, Joey builds the case for Topps, trying to convince Steve that Fanatics has done some good with the licenses. Ryan and Adam, who will be absent this week, will be the judges of how we did.

This week we share our thoughts on the current state of the hobby from our varying perspectives, current trends we like or dislike, and what the future might hold for the space.

This week we talk some multi-player cards. Do you like them or not? Are they better fits for memorabilia, auto, or neither? When does it work and when does it not? We throw some baseball and football cards into the mix too!

Everyone loves gold refractors, and rightfully so. But let's table those for now to focus on all the other kinds of incredible refractors out there. Base refractors, XFractors, Black, White, Blue, even Tacos and Frozens if you like.

We've all got stories of our collecting past as kids. Whether you grew up during the junk wax era, the introduction of inserts and parallels in the 90s, or the memorabilia and autograph boom of the 00s, there's likely memories attached to that period of our collecting lives. We collected, and maybe even traded, with siblings and friends...probably beating up those cards in the process. Join us to look back at our childhood collecting pasts and consider how that has influenced our collecting presents!
