Jeremy Lee, David Chase and Joshua Adams are back for another episode of The Hangover, and this one goes deep into one of the hobby’s murkier questions: just how much confidence should collectors place in autograph authentication?

After Steve Grad’s appearance on Sports Cards Live, the guys continue the conversation around expert opinions, exemplars, provenance, human error and what “do your research” actually means when even the experts can disagree.

Meanwhile, SPA Grading continues its relentless march toward hobby domination, including some new services and innovations that absolutely nobody asked for.

Later, Jeremy and David get into a collector dilemma: if you already bought and love a card, do you really want someone else’s honest critique of it? And if you ask, are you prepared for the answer?

Plus, some recent pickups lead to a discussion about discovering cards you never knew existed and why there are still plenty of affordable ways to have fun collecting, even as other parts of the hobby become increasingly expensive.

What do you actually do with your cards once the hunt is over and they’re finally yours?

On this episode of The Hangover, Jeremy Lee and David Chase dig into a part of collecting that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: actually enjoying the cards you already own. From scanning and organizing collections to building digital displays, tracking annual pickups and simply pulling cards out to admire them, Jeremy and David share the weird, nerdy and incredibly satisfying ways they continue to “play” with their collections long after the mail day.

Then the conversation turns to cardboard capital. If a true grail unexpectedly came to market tomorrow, would you be ready? Which cards are untouchable, which could be sacrificed, and how much of your collection would you consolidate for one card you may never get another chance to own?

Plus, the guys discuss altered and “juiced” card scans, the importance of being prepared for rare buying opportunities, whether soaring prices can eventually pry beloved cards out of collections, and why, despite all the craziness surrounding the hobby, the cards themselves remain the ultimate escape.

How do YOU enjoy your cards after you acquire them, and what would you be willing to give up if your ultimate grail appeared tomorrow? Let us know in the comments.

Jeremy Lee is joined by David Chase and Joshua Adams for another episode of The Hangover, exclusive Sports Cards Live content on the Sports Card Clubhouse Network.Jeremy relives the emotional roller coaster of almost spending $18,000 on a Babe Ruth card, from convincing himself not to bid, to bidding, thinking he'd won it, getting outbid and then deciding whether to go back for more. It leads to a deeper conversation about bidding psychology, knowing when to walk away and why some cards justify throwing the plan out the window while others don't.Then the guys tackle the hobby's dependence on comps. How useful is a comp when countless transactions happen privately, at card shows and across social media where the sales never enter the public data? Have collectors become so dependent on Card Ladder, eBay and other public sales data that they've outsourced their own critical thinking? And how do you price a rare card when there simply isn't a recent comp?They also debate dealers who don't price their cards, cards displayed at shows that aren't actually for sale, and whether putting a huge price on a PC card is better or worse than simply marking it NFS.Finally, Jeremy revisits the viral “hobby fraud” clip that generated tens of thousands of views and a flood of criticism. What did he actually mean? Is cracking and resubmitting a card unethical? No. But if a buyer directly asks about a card's grading history, does the seller have an obligation to tell the truth? Jeremy explains where the clip lost the context of the original conversation, what he would have said differently and why constructive pushback is one of the best parts of putting opinions out into the hobby.The Hangover is exclusive Sports Cards Live content on the Sports Card Clubhouse Network.Subscribe to the Sports Card Clubhouse on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.Subscribe to Sports Cards Live on YouTube for weekly hobby conversations, interviews and live shows.Follow Jeremy on Instagram: @jlee_sportscardsliveFollow David on Instagram: @davidchasecardsFollow Josh on Instagram: @midwestvintagecardsLike, comment and subscribe, and let us know where you stand on the topics discussed in this episode.
