Stacking Slabs

Katelyn (@coldlunchcards) and Brett sit down for episode 11 of season 2 to talk about one of the most thought-provoking ideas in collecting: the one-card PC. What happens when a single card represents everything you want from a player?

They share personal examples, debate “Would You Rather” matchups featuring iconic WNBA cards, and reflect on how intentionality shapes their collecting styles. You’ll also hear about recent pickups, a spotlight on a dedicated collector, and bold predictions for the next six-figure WNBA card.

If you’ve ever wondered whether one card can be enough, this episode is for you.

This week’s flagship is all about the long game in collecting. Too often the hobby gets swept up in hype cycles, record sales, and FOMO. But the collectors who stick around for years don’t chase the herd. They think independently, focus on discovery, and build collections that reflect who they are.

In this episode, I share the story of an unexpected Marvin Harrison 1/1 pickup that reminded me why curiosity and exploration matter. We’ll talk about resisting comparison, finding joy in the hidden corners of the hobby, and why turning left when others go right might be the most satisfying path you can take as a collector.

Recorded live at The National and brought to you by eBay, this episode of Cards in Hand features my good friend Drake (@drakes_pc), one of the most passionate Peyton Manning collectors in the hobby.

We talk about his 1998 SkyBox E-X2001 Essential Credentials Future /7—a true ghost card in the Manning catalog.

Drake shares the story of landing this card at last year’s National, the sacrifices he made to fund it, and why it now sits at the very top of his collection.

We cover the evolution of his Manning journey, the challenge of chasing rare and scarce 90s parallels, and what it feels like to own a card that still gives him chills every time he pulls it out of the case.
