In Episode #133 of the Talking Shop Podcast, we dive into Shohei Ohtani’s 50th home run ball auction. As collectors, we have to ask: would you rather own the historic ball or one of his iconic trading cards? We break down the auction, debate the value of memorabilia versus cards, and predict what the ball will sell for.

In Hobby News, we look at the top 5 baseball cards with the lowest gem rates in history—PSA 10s that are rarer than most. Plus, we discuss the new Paw Patrol SSP in Topps Update—is it a great new insert or just a passing gimmick?

As always, we’ll tell you what’s new in the shop at Grand Slam, show off some hits from the shop, and wrap things up with a crazy stat. Tune in for another episode packed with hobby insights and sports talk!
