The Hobby With Cage

It's Fanatics Fest. It's the National- and cards are heating up. Which ones you ask? Well- lets discuss that!

You all wanted to know what I think- well here it is. I am happy about the Topps move to sell boxes without the plastic wrap. And on the Honus - I wouldn't have restored it myself- but I have no problem with the restoration- because it's known and not done in the shadows.

Soccer is a great sport- I just don't think its going to be something that carriers over after the World Cup- and I explain why. Tell me why I am wrong.

My Wife listened to this episode and said I was too negative and she would have turned this one off. I said- good. You are not my target audience anyway...

Lebron is going where? The Lakers signed who? The 76ers are a super team? The Heat aren't done... and lets talk World Cup and why it sucks!

Ok- there isn't a war. But that was a great title! Lets talk about how the Big hobby companies can co-exist and thrive and what that looks like for you.

The Hobby is going strong- and I went to 2 card shows this weekend and I can tell you that the card show scene is strong.- and I went to 2 shows this weekend and I have no reason to think this is slowing down any time soon.

From Charlie Munger to Panini Blockchain- Episode 411 is all about Information... as it should be.

A fun post on IG had me thinking about what "Playing days" means and why it matters... or does it?

The Hobby is great- but every once in a while, you have to do some housekeeping. And when that's done- get back to building a PC that means something to you.

A couple of conversations about a card had me going from trying to buy a second copy- to actually selling mine. And let's talk about the soccer market for a second- what catalyst is there for the cards after the World Cup? Finally- lets talk auctions for a minute and the prep that goes in.

The two questions I get the most are really tied to the same thing- Is the guy I have a card of- going to be as collected in the future. Maybe he was a great player that is no longer talked about the same way- or a current player who may not live up to the hype...but it all comes down to the same question- Will people want this in the future?

In our hobby- we sometimes pick our card, our team or our player and make a bet. Today, I tell you about the bet I made on Fanatics and Mike Mahan and how it paid off.

The Knicks won the Championship- so Brunson's cards are up from when we spoke about them last week right? And with NBA over- what now?

Great DMs- and great conversations reminds me why this is the best hobby in the world...cup...

Ok- made you look. Maybe they won't lose. but maybe they will- It depends on who is writing the script

I won't tell you what you should do. But i will tell you what I am doing!

The best hobby in the world comes with risk. Pricing changes on a dime with active players- especially the ones playing for the highest stakes.

Are you a money maker? A Hater? A Nay-sayer? we have room for you all- but being honest about who you are in the hobby will help you in the long run.

Look at the prices for Wemby yesterday- and now look at them for today. Is this a crash- or an opportunity? And its not just about Wemby.

A fun back and forth I saw recently on IG stories...Active players vs goats. Should everyone just be selling all their young players and just buy Michael Jordan? What fun is that?

OK. You asked. Let's talk about what and when. Wembys prices are flying- but you want to know who and what is next. Look at the past- to see what the future might hold

Wemby- He is gonna win. Card Shows- Why do you all smell like weed? Pokemon is everywhereMay Set a new record!
