The NBA trade deadline was Thursday 2/5, and it's time to hang out and discuss how trades and player movement affect our collections and approach.

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!

We all have the collector's gene. This week we discuss what we collect outside of basketball cards.

After a really engaging and interactive conversation last week, we keep the ball rolling with the selling talk. Looking at the pros and cons of the different selling platforms, talking about the consignment process and options, and bringing trading into the mix.

What? Isn’t this a collectors hangout? That’s right, but we sell cards too! Sometimes, at least. In this episode we share our thoughts, offer tips and insights into selling cards and its role in our collecting journey.

Happy New Year! In this episode we reminisce about 2025 and our favorite pickups and hobby experiences from the last twelve months.

In what may be a contentious hangout, we're talking about which NBA legends we feel or over or underrated. Steve and Joey think Kobe is overrated. They disagree about Steph Curry. Where do you stand?
