Not all 1/1s are created equal.
In this flagship episode, Brett explores the current state of the 1/1 card in a hobby dominated by parallels and overproduction. He compares the mystique of early ghost 1/1s from the '90s with today’s endless rainbow variations. Brett shares his own experiences researching Tyrese Haliburton rookie 1/1s, the emotional pull of owning a 1/1, and how FOMO can cloud good collecting judgment.
This episode challenges the automatic assumption that 1/1 means grail. Brett shares a mental model he uses to slow down purchases and offers a collector-first lens for evaluating rarity, aesthetics, and long-term significance.
This isn’t an anti-1/1 rant. It’s a call for intentionality.
Listen if you’ve ever chased a 1/1.
Listen if you’ve ever passed on one and wondered why.
Listen if you want to make better collecting decisions in an era where scarcity can feel anything but scarce.
