Each “Happy Hobby Sports Card Podcast” pack tries to help sports card collectors working with limited budgets – like me!

Keeping with tradition, we discuss some older great rookie basketball cards, along with some newer great rookie basketball cards, as the new season NBA begins to unfold on us.

We did our football card- and hockey card-Paloozas a few weeks ago, and now it’s time for ranking some round-ballers!

Not only do we rank the rookie cards from the most recent flagship release, 2023 Panini Prizm NBA cards (spoiler alert: Wemby is No. 1), but we also look back at the past 10 seasons to find the 10 best rookie cards over that span!

We also look ahead to see who the top rookie cards we should be targeting when the 2024-25 rookie cards come out!

Patrick Imhoff shares another awesome aspect of the card industry he’d do differently if he became CEO of Fanatics!

I share another great baseball trivia question, where I offer up an awesome 1971 Topps Al Kaline card!

Finally, we look at 1988 at one of the coolest NBA cards ever created in our “Cards That Make Us Happy” feature! It has an image from the NBA Slam Dunk Contest!
