On this episode of the Quiet Card Podcast, we break down some wild conversations happening across the hobby and sports culture right now.

First, we talk about the Atlanta Hawks shutting down the viral “Magic City Monday” promotion that was rumored to be happening. The internet had a lot to say, but the Hawks quickly stepped in and said it wasn’t happening. Was it a missed marketing opportunity or the right move for the franchise?

Next, we dive into the Pokémon card market, which has been seeing another wave of momentum. From modern sets to vintage cards, collectors are starting to pile back in. We talk about why Pokémon keeps coming back strong and the strategies collectors should be thinking about right now.

Finally, we discuss a bigger hobby question: What happens to the card market when icons like Michael Jordan are no longer around? MJ has been the backbone of the sports card hobby for decades. Would the market take a hit, or has the hobby evolved enough to stand on its own?

Topics include:

• Atlanta Hawks shutting down Magic City Monday
• Pokémon card market trends
• Hobby investment strategies
• Michael Jordan’s long-term impact on the sports card market
• Future of the hobby
