Card Talk

Another year in the books for Card Talk, as 2022 was filled with some hilarious moments, good takes, bad takes, and great times both inside and outside the studio! Thanks to all of our followers, viewers and listeners for joining us on the ride... we can't wait to kick off season 4 right after the New Year! We wish you and yours a happy and healthy holiday season and the best year ever in 2023! --...

The NFL playoff race is heating up, with the Jets in the hunt and the Patriots currently in. How will it all shake out in the final 4 weeks of the season and how will it effect the card market? Also, Brock Purdy cards are white hot... but are they a wise investment? The fantasy playoffs are set to kick off this week. Tyler/Jay are in. Lou is in. Ryan... not in. Zion Williamson is back and doing un...

What a difference a week makes... last week when we were in the studio Ryan was heartbroken about OSU's loss to Michigan, but after a wild weekend of college football upsets they are right back in the National Championship picture! Also, a former Pokemon judge unloaded his entire collection this week for 200k pounds, Aaron Judge's *record breaking 62nd home run ball is headed to auction, the much...

Just a crazy week in sports for the boys, as OSU lost to Michigan, the Jets rolled out their new QB1 and crushed the Bears and the USMNT is currently undefeated at the time of this recording (also winless) with an opportunity to move on vs. Iran. Can they pull off the win and move on to the knockout round? Also, Topps/Fanatics introduced their MVP buyback program... why is this such a good promoti...

The World Cup kicked off on Sunday and the USMNT got off to a blazing hot start in the first half, taking a 1-0 and looked to coast against Wales. A late second half goal evened up the score and the end result was a 1-1 tie. Can they compete on Friday against England? Also, the Jets lost (again) to the Pats... is that the end of the Zach Wilson era? Ryan's favorite QB Kirk Cousins also took an L a...

There's a bit of added excitement in the studio as the World Cup is set to kick off and the Jets are heading to Foxboro for a revenge game (two sporting events Ryan likely won't be watching according to Lou.) Also, Tyler is sick of Cristiano Ronaldo... the Luka NT Logoman previously sold privately for $4.6 million and is currently at $2.3 million at PWCC with just two days left (at the time of rec...

Tyler and Ryan are back from the UK and their wifi is fannnntastic this episode! Since they were last in the studio, Lou's Astros won the World Series, the Jets beat the Bills and a allegations of serial numbers indicating boxes containing Kabooms are front and center in the hobby. Tune in for all of this PLUS a full episode of Q&A from our members in the Card Talk Facebook group! Also, don't...

Tyler and Ryan are both in the UK where they attended the London Card Show and have a full report of what was quite a weekend! Speaking of the weekend, the Jets lost to the Pats (again) and Penn State lost to Ohio State... so Ryan has been itching to get back in the studio! Also, Tyler's UK wifi is a mess but he powered through it like the professional podcaster that he is, the Astros are being ac...

The Astros did exactly what Lou has been saying they would do all season... they demolished the Yankees in a 4 game sweep. He's been waiting patiently to let Tyler know all about it and the time has finally come! Jets vs Patriots AND OSU vs Penn State in the same weekend? It's Card Talk rivalry week! Also, things are getting weird. The Jets won their 4th game in a row out in Denver, but at a major...

Penn State is no longer undefeated, but after the Jets steamrolled Aaron Rodgers and the Packers with Lou & Tyler in the building at Lambeau, the vibes were high on a studio Tuesday! Also, Lou's Astros await a potential matchup with Tyler's Yanks, but the trash talk had to wait a day after a rainout in the Bronx. The NBA is back and the boys are making their predictions. Disney Lorcana remains...

Penn State, Ohio State and Georgia remain undefeated with all three in the top 10. The Yanks and Astros seem to be on a collision course to meet up in the ALCS. The Jets.... that's right.. the New York football Jets are above .500. Card Talk vibes are absolutely elite headed in to this weeks recording! Also, Bailey Zappe led Ryan's* Patriots to victory this week, coming off the bench to generate s...

On this month's SlabStox Trading Card Report, Aaron and Lou discuss the market for Aaron Judge and Albert Pujols after historic seasons for both, as the playoffs get set to kick off. Also in this episode, young quarterbacks are on both sides of a polarizing football card market, as a Justin Herbert NT 1/1 shield did $1.8 million dollars, while Mac Jones and Trey Lance investors saw a major dip in...

The boys are back from Ohio after a fantastic trip visiting Ryan's shop, meeting a ton of people at trade night and hitting the horse shoe for OSU vs Rutgers. While they were away, Disney Lorcana D23 sets continued to heat up, the Jets evened up their record at 2-2 with Zach Wilson returning, Erling Haaland remains absolutely on fire, Jalen Hurts continued to make Ryan's 2021 takes look silly, Aar...

After a long, eventful day together including breakfast, a round of golf, the entire crew getting to Ryan's shop for the first time and an extremely fun and well attended trade night, we sat down for a Friday night bonus pod.  For the record, Ryan beat* Tyler in golf. Jay fumbled a $300ish dollar Michael Jordan "A Cut Above" card. Lou loves Ohio and is scanning Zillow for houses. Only one las...

Things are heating up in the sports world as October has arrived. Baseball playoffs. Football in full swing. Basketball and hockey coming back soon. The World Cup on the horizon. Mac Jones joined Trey Lance as 2021 rookie QB's who are unfortunately set to miss a lot of time with an injury. A kid did what kids do with stickers and stuck the 1/1 Heung-Min Son 2022 World Cup sticker to a book. The Je...

What an absolutely WILD week in sports for the Card Talk crew... The New York Football Jets won a game. Penn State won. Georgia won. Ohio State won. The Patriots won. Kirk Cousins stunk on Monday Night Football. BUTTTT... all of our fandom and takes were not wins. Ryan Tannehill looked BAD. Tua looked GREAT. He might be battling Jalen Hurts right now for MVP consideration. Joe Burrow and the Benga...

These are the weeks that sports fans and card collectors live for! NFL Week 1 got off to a flying start with some surprise early MVP candidates and show topic favorites–notably Kirk Cousins and Jalen Hurts–absolutely balling out! Ryan mans up and takes his lumps from the boys on both. Also, as first reported by Tyler... Carlos Alcaraz is good :) What a week for him both on the court and in cards,...

In this month's market report, Aaron ( @SlabStoxAaon) recaps his trip to the Dutch Grand Prix and his experience meeting a few of the drivers in the garage. Recently the biggest sale in sports card history took place. Lou and Aaron discuss this sales impact on the vintage market and what the future looks like for vintage cards. Another topic of discussion was the upcoming World Cup and its affect...

We are now just a few short days away from kicking off the 2022 NFL season and the boys are fired up! Also... Penn State, Georgia and Ohio State all took W's this weekend, the US Open has been absolutely electric, the Card Talk group text is alive with fantasy and college football trash talk, Ryan's wifi stinks and it might be the fault of the state of Ohio, Carlos Alcaraz NetPro cards are now sol...

College football is back. The NFL is back. US Open Tennis (Serena's last dance) is back. $12.6 million dollars for a single sports card breaks the record for any piece of sports memorabilia ever sold. Mbappe signs with Panini. All of this is great... but in much bigger Card Talk news: Kellen Mond was CUT by the Vikings while we were recording and Tyler/Lou (and all of social media) realllllly let...

The boys are back and Tyler, Lou & Jay are planning a trip to Columbus, Ohio in late September/early October to play some golf, work Ryan's shop and check out the Ohio State vs Rutgers game live! Also, Manchester United finally won a game, Ryan apologizes for a terrible Kellen Mond take, NetPro dropped their Carlos Alcaraz collection, the Yankees have been awful lately (to Lou's delight), and...

Football is back and the week 1 overreactions are (predictably) in full force! Malik Willis runs for a touchdown against backups... collectors run to eBay to smash "buy it now" on his cards and Ryan Tannehill's days are numbered. Kellen Mond impresses against the Raiders, his cards spike and it's only a matter of time before Kirk Cousins is sent packing. Gotta love the preseason! Unless, you're a...

Football is officially back and the boys couldn't be more excited! Fantasy... daily fantasy... weekly betting... rookie card investing... Tyler & Lou's Jets... Ryan's Bengals, Patriots, Jaguars, and every other team not named the Jets... College football. It's all BACK! Also, Jay got engaged... Serena Williams is retiring... Lou went to Jets camp and got to meet his PC Elijah Moore and show of...

The boys are back from Atlantic City after a wildly fun and successful National - and back in the studio for the first time in two weeks! What were their favorite pickups? What were some of the things that they were gifted by friends/fans of the pod? What were some of their takes on the top booths, activations and giveaways? What did they learn that can be useful going in to future Nationals? What...

The boys are back in the studio for the final time before the National, and they are FIRED UP! It's a bit of a light week in the sports world with MLB on the All-Star break, and the rest of the major sports in the offseason... but the golf world is being turned upside down and the Tour de Frohhh is heating up. It's peak Tyler season. Make sure to come by our booths at the National, and definitely...
