JELI CARDS PODCAST

Another National Sports Collectors show is in the books! John and I wanted to recap this years National, and give you our opinion of the show compared to 2021. We highlight the cards we managed to pick up, the cards we were able to sell, and took a look ahead at this upcoming football season!

This episode John and I quickly went over our plan of attack (my lack of a plan) for the National in Rosemont, IL!! We briefly talked about the players we planned on hunting for while at the show, and also gave you some tips on how to make your next visit to the National a success!

This episode John and I discuss the importance of Fanatics new business, Fanatics Events, within the hobby. Fanatics wants to recreate a Comic-Con type event for sports collectors and hobbyists with a more modern fan-focused experience. What does this mean though for the future of other sports collectors shows? Is Fanatics truly trying to take over all aspects of the hobby? John and I had a lot to say so please enjoy this new episode from Jeli Cards!

This episode John and I kick things off by recapping the All Star week events! Keep an eye on card markets for the players in the Home Run Derby because that might be a good time to sell now! Also John and I each picked two MLB players who we think could be great buys in the future. Plus at the end of this episode we discussed the future of Ohtani and where he might end up before the trade deadline!

This weeks episode, John and I elaborate on a topic we mentioned in the previous episode. I asked John if a players stats during the season truly has an impact on the market? We both wanted to dig a little deeper into this question because there are many different factors that can help drive the markets. Factors like hype, player success, team success, and even FOMO can all play a major role in whether or not a players prices will go up or down. However, is there one factor that outweighs the rest? Find out what John and I discussed in this episode!

This episode is all about the new MLB Top 100 Prospect List! This list is a great research tool when looking for players to collect and invest in. John and I go over some of the current markets for both players on the list and players who didn’t make the cut. Don’t be blinded only by the top prospects though! Take the time and truly look for the value across all 100 players. You never know which player might be a sleeper investment that no one else is seeing!

This week we are joined by Marc aka Pro_Wrestling_Kingpin! He’s an avid wrestling fan who loves the hobby and loves ripping wrestling packs. Marc and I discuss many topics like Panini’s multi-year deal with the WWE to manufacture wrestling cards, the record breaking 1/1 sale, and who might be the next WWE legend in the making. Find out what we had to say on this weeks episode!

This episode is different from our typical sports/trading card topics. For the first time on the podcast, Jeli Cards enters the world of comic book collecting! We were lucky to have comic book collector Komikz98 join us for this episode, and she’d his knowledge of all things comics! Comics are fun to read, but can also make you money in the future. You might not make that instant profit like you can with sports cards, but collecting the right issues can benefit you greatly in the long run. Patience is key here!

This episode is all about hockey cards, and how they are undervalued compared to sports like Football, Basketball, and Baseball. We were lucky enough to have hockey fanatic and collector Hockey Town John join us for this weeks episode! His knowledge of not only the sport, but the untapped market that is hockey cards is why we had to bring him on the podcast. He gives his version on why hockey cards aren’t as sought after in the hobby, and gives us a couple players that he’s currently keeping his eye on. From Young Guns to Future Watch, there’s value to be made in hockey that’s potentially just sitting there at your local retail store. If you’re interested in the hockey market then this episode is perfect for you!

This episode John and I discuss how the hobby seems to have gotten away from being a collectors hobby to more of an investment opportunity. Retail product has surged in both the amount of cards printed and how much the product costs today versus what it use to cost a few years back. With the increasing prices of retail product, is it even worth buying anymore? Do hobbyists still buy into sets because they want to collect the cards or do they buy with the intent to resell the cards at a later date? Find out what John and I have to say in this episode!
