Hobby Time w/ DirkNashty

I’m this episode Nathanael and I spend quite a bit of time talking about players we’ve heard others talk about, either now or in the past, that we’re just not into or haven’t been into. It’s a little bit of a downer but I hope everyone enjoys it at least a little, but more than that I’m thankful for you, and hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Bringing it back to cards and the NBA, I was excited to get to spend some time with Nathanael as we covered several topics related to basketball cards, the card market, digital cards and the NBA as a whole. As always feedback is appreciated, thanks for listening!

Today I was joined again by my friend Pat (@FabEuless on VBA discord) and (@DjaMimbe on Twitter) to recap the VBA x KOD Tournament Game 2, and preview his 3rd and final game of the group stage against Smup45.  It was a fun discussion and I hope everyone enjoys it!

Back again with Pat @Djamimbe and FabEuless to recap his game 1 matchup and talk through setting lineups for game 2 of the KOD x VBA Tournament. Enjoy!

Today I'm joined by my good friend Pat, @FabEuless in the VBA universe, and @Djamimbe on Twitter, owner of ALF Lady Deathstrike and VBA x KOD tournament participate. After an introduction, we talk generally about lineup setting and then do some live lineup preview for the first game of the first round of the tournament.  It was a great conversation and I hope all the VBA heads enjoy it. https...

I'm very excited to bring you all an episode about something I'm trying to learn more about 90s cards.  Like a lot, I was in card collecting in the 90s, but wasn't super into basketball cards back then, so I enlisted Nathanael's help to learn more about this era of cards.  I've added some of these to my watchlist and hope you all enjoy!

Nathanael and I dig further into our ranked lists of players we’d want to put $100 in for the next 3-10 years.

In today's episode I talk through what I've always been interested in from other podcasts. What it's like, is it hard to start, what kind of prep goes into it, what has gone well and not well, things I'd do differently, and .... listener numbers!  Thanks for listening!

In this episode we get a Hobby Time first, a guest!  Nathanael joined me to discuss our player rankings if we were investing $100 for the next several years.   We talk briefly about his sports card journey, a little bit of TV talk and spend the majority of time on 15-20 players, where we have them ranked and why.  It was a really fun episode to record and I hope everyone enjoys it!

In this episode I review a study I've been looking at comparing cumulative Gem Mint rates, Mint and above rates for 10 cards across PSA, BGS and SGC.  I talk through the prompt for the study, my methodology, and detail each card and relate it back to pricing, and wrapping up with things I've learned. I hope you enjoy, thanks for listening! 

No card talk today, this episode is all about what is rapidly becoming one of my favorite hobbies, the Solana NFT-based basketball sim, the Virtual Basketball Association (VBA). Continuing from Episode 3 way back in May, I break down the different player archetypes, community resources and my own approach to setting my main team lineup.  Thanks so much for listening! I hope you enjoy it! (1:0...

Thank you for listening!  This week I wanted to figure out if there was a way to use card prices to rank NBA Rookies from the last 5 classes (2017-2021) while taking into consideration print count differences year over year.  But I start by expanding a little bit on what I think is a little known fact about Impeccable TMall and the unnumbered base cards found in those boxes. Coming soon:...

It's been 7 weeks!! I just wanted to get on, reintroduce myself, and explain a bit what I've been doing while away these last several weeks.  I also spend some time on my recent dealings and current strategy related to basketball cards.  And hopefully lay the groundwork for a few future episodes. Thanks a ton for listening, enjoy!

Today I brain dump all the things I've been up to in the last couple of weeks. I share some card buys I made based on the research I shared in episodes 7, 8, 9 and 10, as well as a few PC items. I talk through some of the movies and TV shows I've been watching and enjoying. And end the podcast talking about the Virtual Basketball Association (VBA - VBAGame.com), which I've been very fortunate to w...

Today I used PSA pops of graded cards across multiple years and players to build estimated print runs of certain base cards and unnumbered parallels in order to try to find values. First we go through the method, which admittedly isn't perfect, but I'd call directionally accurate Then talk through estimated print runs for base and unnumbered parallels And wrap up by trying, potentially unsuccessfu...

Episode 9 is all about creating a price expectation for some highly liquid basketball cards and grades.  I compare prices of Prizm Base, Prizm Silver, Optic Base, and Optic Holos across 4 years, and 3 grades (PSA 10, PSA 9, Raw) to develop (1) a few simple rules of thumb -- beginning of episode, and (2) a formula to estimate the expected price of some of these cards and finally (3) use this e...

Today, I wrap up my review of players who are no longer rookies, and have not made all-star or all-nba teams. AND the best part, I actually (finally!) bring in some data related to their cards and how I might be looking to spend on them this offseason. Would love to hear your feedback @DirkNashty on Twitter, @DirkNashty_pod on Instagram.

Thanks everyone for checking this out! Today I started by sharing some of the Basketball Card things I've been up to including some buys, some beats, and taking my nephew to the Dallas Card Show. Then I go through some of the 190+ players I reviewed that are not rookies, and have not made an all-star or all-nba team to figure out who I might be interested in.  In today's episode I talk about...

Today I wrapped up my comparison of NBA rookies to All-NBA, All-Star and fringe All-Star level players by looking at Wings, Forwards and Centers.  As well as shared some of my personal favorite podcasts both sport and non-sport related.  As always I'd love to hear from yall, please feel free to reach out if with any feedback or anything you'd like to hear going forward. 0:00 - Intro 0:54...

In this episode, I compared the rookie seasons of some of today's top players to the 2021-22 rookie class.  I had a lot of fun putting the data together and found some really interesting comparisons, I hope you all enjoy it!  Thank you for listening and as always feel free to reach out to me on twitter @DirkNashty (0:00) Intro (0:57) Thank You! (Hoops and Cards, Nashaq Index, Virtual Bas...

In this episode I ran through some of the online, blockchain and other digital collectibles I've participated in, and several free sites that I use for researching these things. Again, I'm just trying to share my process, and determinations, and eventual my outcomes. But I can always be improving, if I missed a resource I did not talk about please feel free to share back with me, I'd love to hear...

In this episode I talk about the Solana-based NFT experience, Virtual Basketball Association or VBA (@vbagame). I share some of the data I’ve pulled, talk about what I see as micro and macro level factors affecting short and medium term pricing and my approach to buying and selling. This episode is a bit less structured than others, partially by necessity, but I try to use publicly released inform...

In this episode I finished up my NBA rookie analysis as it relates to their card markets, focusing on wings and bigs. Share a little more about myself, and looked at the card release calendar as I plan for summer buying.

In this first episode I took a deep-ish dive into the stats on NBA Rookie guards as I try to formulate a plan for upcoming basketball card releases and summer buying season. Please bear with me, I quite literally had no idea what I was doing with this podcast thing, but would love to hear your feedback! Thanks for listening!
