With Images Of The Jackson Holliday “Fun Face” Bat Knob Emerging, The Guys Open Up The Year Asking “WHAT IF?”

In Episode #141 of the Talking Shop Podcast, the guys kick off the new year by asking the ultimate “WHAT IF?” Inspired by the Jackson Holliday “Fun Face” Bat Knob 1/1, they imagine what other iconic baseball memorabilia could make its way into trading cards. Could Billy Ripken’s infamous bat ever show up?

We also dive into the Rookie Debut Patch Auto hunt, with 68 cards still unaccounted for—where could they be hiding? Plus, we debate which NFL sophomore QB is the best bet for long-term success and celebrate the return of Roman Reigns autographs in Topps WWE cards.

On top of that, we discuss Aaron Judge’s debut as the 2025 Topps Series One cover athlete and whether anyone would actually sell a 1/1 Triple Auto UFC card to Tom Brady himself.

There’s no better way to start the year—join us as we break down the latest in the hobby with insights, laughs, and all the collectibles chatter you love.

Welcome to the Talking Shop Podcast—because every card has a story!
