In Episode 8 of The Staging Area presented by dcsports87, Brett and Tory dig into what it means to collect in a bull market. From Daniel Jones speculation to Josh Allen’s rising profile, they look at how player performance shapes demand and where timing matters most.

They cover Bowman Chrome’s overlap with playoff baseball, Satchel Paige vintage sales, and why Yamal continues to drive conversation in soccer. Tory also shares behind-the-scenes data from dcsports87 that highlights true market health, separating perception from reality. Whether you’re chasing prospects, buying vintage, or selling through eBay, this conversation offers perspective on how to stay grounded and not get over your skis in today’s hobby.
