Leighton's Loft

Leighton Sheldon of Vintage Breaks and Just Collect continues the discussion he started on this week's edition of Trading Card Therapy (also available everywhere you shop for podcasts) about "thinning the hoard", efficient and smart ways to reduce your inventory in your collection to give you more options in a hot collecting universe!! Leighton also asks about whether or not you devalue special edition cards that aren't initially available to the general public in packs.

Leighton Sheldon of Vintage Breaks and Just Collect asks his audience who their "non-chalk" picks are for AFC and NFC Champions and of course the Super Bowl winner. Then what follows is stunning. J5 and Leighton get their first look at a collection that was sent in for possible purchase by Vintage Breaks. Neither knew what was coming before they pulled the five binders of 1950s era cards that revealed Mantles, Mays Clementes, Splendid Splinters, and so, much, more! Everyone was floored.
