On today's show we bring on my brother Ryan @SportsCardNews who just happens to be chilling in Vegas the same time the 2015 Las Vegas Industry Summit is going on at the beautiful property known as the Tuscany Suites. With no show floor and record low attendance, find out what saved the event from going away for good. Also find out what group breakers have been asking @SportsCardNews since he arrived. Also we discuss other news & events around the hobby.

On today's show, I talk about the rumors that Panini is interested in buying Upper Deck. Talk briefly about exclusive licenses. We also discuss two NFL rookie running backs I have my eye on. Finally we close with some vintage basketball and condition discussion.

Got some interesting topics from listeners to talk about on today's show. We discuss grading & flipping cards. I touch on a little bit more COMC advice. Also give some tips if you have a large collection (or amount of cards) you are trying to sell. Got some people mad on Twitter after posting a picture of a jam-packed card store. Finally, the Cardboard Connection podcast is no longer .... maybe they'll make a comeback like some athletes have, but if not we wish them well.

On today's show I discuss Press Pass going out of business and give my new years resolutions for the hobby.

Been away for about a month so there's a mix of news that we cover on today's show. 2014 Topps Chrome Football taught anyone that didn't know already that Topps makes products 'to order' ... so if everyone orders it - the product ends up being a dud. Looks like Topps is doing group breaks now ... just like I predicted they would years ago. Topps Dynasty Baseball contained a Don Mattingly card with an Angels patch in it. The diamonds in Panini Flawless cards might not be real. COMC now has auctions. Plus I give out some sleeper NBA talent and some advice on selling your cards.

On today's show I blast off more on the 2014 Panini Flawless cards that Panini's CEO Mark Warsop originally called "mistakenly labeled." We now know more cards are effected and it's clear Panini didn't mislabel all these cards. Instead of taking ownership of it, they've tired to pass this off as a "mistake" or a vendor issue - BUT IN FACT IT'S PANINI LYING TO YOUR FACE. They knowingly made these cards, knowingly put game used on them. Someone needs to get fired and Panini will need to EARN MY TRUST BACK. I'm not going to just ass-slap them just because they make cards and neither should you.

On today's show we discuss mostly news from Panini, but mix in some other items along the way. There's 2 Blowout Forum threads I discuss this week. One is about how there's likely some patch cards in Panini Flawless football that aren't what they are advertised as. Second is a thread about the business end of cards and I give you my thoughts on both. Panini is releasing a Donruss Baseball factory set, and find out what inside is making collectors upset. Panini signed a deal the Texas University and COMC black Friday sales have started.

There's a new podcast about cards out there if you haven't heard called "Trading Card Preservation" and can be found on iTunes & heartbreakingcards.com . Panini is charging customers to ship items on the "rewards" website. Topps & others have very flimsy "game-used" language on cards these days. National Treasures to have Barry Bonds and Kris Bryant. Will Alibaba buy ebay and/or PayPal soon? Box prices for 2013/14 NBA Basketball cards and 2013 Football are all down from original price. Does the Hobby have a supply/demand issue?

On today's show we run down several topics including the SF Giants winning their 3rd World Series in 5 years. I talk about the NASCAR events over the last weekend. We talk about Derek Jeter buy-back autographs that will appear in Panini MLBPA products soon. Also, Panini signs exclusive deals with licencing agents representing over 200 colleges. I went to a card show with a former guest on the show and more.
