Collecting Cardboard

How much is 2026 Topps Chrome Baseball going to run you ? While we can't tell you exactly, we bet it's a lot. What else could you get for that kind of cash? 

Pokemon is continuing to boom and then some. Delays and more at PSA. 

PSA installed some recent changes, which, "surprisingly," are not great.  A lot of new releases are coming out and also, what's going on with X (aka: Twitter) 

Did we get off the rails in this one? We will let you all be the judges of that. Cash on arrival is dead in our book plus some other hobby news.

Eric and Rob were both excited for Topps Chrome Football to come out, but now, not so much.  What kind of cards would you send to SGC ? 

Before you buy, do you homework. 2025 Topps Chrome Football. More fun items up for auction.

Shohei Ohtani prices are through the roof and getting close to out of this world. Baseball opening day is upon us and some cool auction items.

Don't worry, Shohei Ohtani is still playing, Rob did however sell his Ohtani collection. Eric and Rob also talk about a few other things including the high end market, and 2025 Bowman's Best. 

Sorry for the delay in getting this out, but scheduling was a bit rough this week. Topps redemption issues, maybe. Does the pop count on graded cards matter anymore? What's Rob doing now?

Topps, Fanatics, someone, we don't know who, but someone finally had a great idea for collectors as far as Rob and Eric are concerned. PSA raises prices, imagine that, and Story Time with Eric.

Actions speak louder than words when it comes to possible plans for SGC and Beckett Grading. A large find of buried treasure and this year's HOF.

How super was Rob's Christmas present to Eric? Pretty super apparently. The guys also talk COMC, Sports Lots and Ship My Cards as well as Topps 2026 Series 1, the good, the bad, and the wishlist???

Rob struggles over his words in this one. Topps is definitely not struggling despite their continued high prices. A possible plan to collecting in the new year and Rob's daughter is one step closer to her Pokemon set goal.

Eric and Rob wonder aloud if there is a Poke-Bubble happening or is there room to grow. The guys also discuss the news of the day, Collectors Universe's purchase of Beckett, plus Topps is getting some things right.

Gift ideas for the hobbyist in your life. Remember people, Santa knows if you've been good or bad, don't do scummy stuff. Hideo Nomo returns to Topps!

Rob and Eric talk about some of the recent industry buzz around COMC and Probstein's SNYPE along with Topps Chrome NBA and a very cool autograph idea.

Rude manners will get you nowhere at a show. No more Funko Pop grading at PSA. Eric wants what?

Topps new NBA product with a license is now out with some long odds. Rob and Eric try out GameStop. The guys make their World Series predictions. 

Whatnot actually does something really good. Be careful out there when buying slabs. SGC in trouble???

Would you take a roll of the dice for a chance to win a card? How much will the Joe Jackson Superfractor go for? Who knows these days.

A digital what sold for how much? Does anyone real buy boxes to open anymore? PSA Grade and Sell special, ugh.

Eric calls baloney on Rob. Card show etiquette. Rob moves a card.

The month of July was hot for cards. Is Eli Manning a Hall Of Fame QB? 12K for a Jay Cutler card?

Rob said something that made Eric laugh and question his sanity. Is SGC in trouble? Topps Chrome is BRUTAL this year.

Rob got something right. There's a potential storm brewing in the industry with fake memorabilia. Rob and Eric both made another list.
