 In this episode of You Can’t Comp This, Russell and Adz are joined by collector Oyvind Holen for a massive breakdown of the Kobe/Jordan Logoman sale that smashed records at $12.9 million with buyer’s premium.

We dive into the sale’s impact on the hobby, whether cards are now seen as an “asset class,” and what this means for Kobe, Jordan, and the next generation of stars like LeBron, Curry, and Jokic.

Oyvind also shares his incredible journey completing the 2015–16 Light Blue Prizm set (1–300), and the boys discuss the challenges of set collecting, budget management, and balancing flipping with true collecting.

Plus: Fast Break Trading Cards’ latest trade day, the state of the hobby community, conspiracy chatter around authenticity, and plenty of laughs along the way.

 “The guys debate the greatest NBA guards of all time, from Jordan and Magic to Kobe, Steph, and beyond—who makes the ultimate list?”  

Adam, Andrew and Dan dive into one of basketball’s most heated debates: who are the greatest guards of all time? Drawing on decades of basketball knowledge and countless hours watching the game evolve, the trio explores the legacies of some of the sport’s most influential backcourt players. From the pure scorers and flashy playmakers to the defensive stalwarts and game-changing leaders, each guard is evaluated not only for their on-court accomplishments but also for their lasting impact on the culture of basketball. 

The conversation spans eras, comparing legends from the past to modern superstars, while also addressing the challenges of cross-era comparisons. The hosts debate what qualities truly define greatness—is it championship success, individual dominance, consistency, versatility, or the ability to change the way the game is played? Along the way, they share personal stories, inject humor, and reveal which players made the cut for their individual top-five lists. 

Listeners are treated to both spirited arguments and moments of agreement as the hosts reflect on guards who redefined positions and pushed the game forward. Whether it’s revisiting the artistry of classic floor generals or marveling at the explosiveness of modern-day icons, the episode celebrates the evolution of guard play and the players who set the gold standard. 

Packed with nostalgia, insights, and passion, this episode is a must-listen for fans who love basketball history, heated rankings, and the timeless question of who truly deserves to be called the greatest guard of all time.

In this follow-up to our first Timeless Moments episode on fake Panini seals, we dive into the hobby’s reaction — and it was LOUD. Russell and Adz break down community feedback, share insights from Sports Card Nonsense and Instagram, and ask the tough questions:

• Is resealing cards in fake Panini one-touches fraud?
• Are we the problem for valuing seals too much?
• And is “raw” really raw if it was once in a PSA slab?

We also hear from the community, including some surprising confessions, and takeaways that might just change how you view sealed cards forever.

This saga’s not just about stickers — it’s about trust, transparency, and what value really means in the hobby.

🎙️ Listen now to hear how this clickbait turned into real talk.

 In this Timeless Moment, Russell and Adz dive deep into a growing concern: fake Panini seals being applied to cards — and the ripple effect it's having on trust within the hobby.

Is it really "normal practice" to reseal cracked PSA slabs with Panini stickers before reselling them? We talk about transparency, collector ethics, and why this issue affects both seasoned veterans and new collectors alike.

We also touch on Veriswap, dodgy Downtowns at CollectFest, and what responsibility vendors have when things go wrong. A must-listen for anyone serious about protecting the future of card collecting.

Let’s keep this hobby honest.
