There are a lot of interesting hobby ramifications that we will discuss including what the next three years potentially look like, and what this means for the hobby. We will also talk about the historical nature of the news as we usher in a new era of Sports Cards.

Bryan (@Cajun_Cardboard) joins to talk about his recent purchase of a truly iconic card - the 1997 Michael Jordan Metal Universe PMG Red BGS 8 from the recent PWCC Premier Auction. We also dive into his story of  collecting in the 80s through 2003 and then choosing to come back in 2016 to invest/collect Giannis Cards. We also talk about the evolution of set collecting. He has plenty of knowledge and experience to share along with how he would start in today's market.

You don't want to miss this episode. On this episode, Erik Myers (@Haole_Hustle) joins to talk about all things graded sports cards. We talk about the importance of authentication, why PSA has created such a gap between them and BGS when that wasn't always the case, and the opportunity that we believe exists when buying BGS 9.5 graded cards. This episode includes some real data about the percentage of True Gem vs Mini Gem cards and the arbitrage there that presents real opportunity. We also talk about Autograph cards and how to look at them from a grading perspective. We aim to answer a ton of questions regarding graded cards and believe this episode is one of the most informative episodes on Slab Talk.

On this episode, Ryan @BreakoutCards joins the show to talk about Card Shows. He goes to Sports Card shows almost every weekend and shares best practices, what he does to prepare for the shows, and how to identify cards that have been altered, trimmed, or fake. I think this episode is helpful for anyone planning or thinking about attending card shows.

On this episode, I talk with @Casey_Collects about personal finance, budgeting, and having a healthy relationship with our finances as it relates to Sports Cards so that we are making long term, intentional purchases. We talk about topics like what percentage of our investable dollars goes to Sports Cards compared to Stocks, Real Estate, and crypto, and if Sports Cards are a sustainable alternative investment. With the amount of money we have invested in the Sports Card market, why not treat it with the same mindset we would other investments?
