Collecting Cardboard

No, this episode will not self destruct after you listen to it, but Rob and Eric have set themselves a possibly impossible task. 30K for two cards? Not on your life. Also, taking a negative and turning it to a positive.  Happy Fourth Of July Everyone and Thank You!

Rob and Eric are both left unimpressed by a couple of new Topps releases. Are there too many card shows? Rob's Dad made a list of players he thinks should be in the HOF, find out if you agree or not.

PSA floated some possible new ideas by their customers and yeah....Figuring out how to move cards and what to try and get out of them.

We talk about what seems to be a growing controversy around Lionel Messi and the possibility of some of his autographs being fake. Also, we wonder what big cards could be left hiding in boxes along with a new record setting sale for a Ken Griffey Jr. card.

Amazingly enough you can find some cool HOF baseball autos for cheap out there. A bad eBay listing & more.

What the heck is up with this title? Well you'll just have to listen to find out. What do you like to eat at sporting events? Rob has a new pet peeve... We swear we talk about cards in here somewhere too.

A what would you do situation. 2025 Bowman is out, and it's not cheap, imagine that. Also, are the tariffs going to impact the hobby? You betcha.

The guys got some fan mail, plus March Madness collides with MLB Opening Day. 

Topps released a Tokyo edition in Japan exclusively. Should you buy pitchers? It depends... Eric's been buying basketball heavy

Squeezed for time as many of us are in our daily lives, Rob and Eric do their best to put out a %110 effort for you guys. Rob and Eric set up at a show together. Could you make $275k in a year selling cards? Sometimes you have to move on from a card.

Rob and Eric talk about 2025 Topps Series 1 and some of the fun things in it. Rob got electrocuted (yes, he's ok) and PSA changes their grading descriptions.

The guys brought in a special guest plus Rob and Eric get a little heated at the hobby. Also, when is it time to move on from a PC card?

Rob and Eric talk about what the future might hold for them and collecting this year and discuss RAK's and etiquette. Non sports cards come in the first episode of the new year? What's going on?

Card collecting means different things to different people. Here are a couple things the guys are thankful for in the hobby. Also, they talk about negotiating and what to expect plus their favorite pickups of the year.

The guys air out some of their hobby pet peeves and feel a bit better afterwords. Do retired players belong in current sets? Also, the guys talk three HOF pitchers and their RC values.

So Rob might have had a slight over reaction to something this week, not to mention what the heck is going on with 1986 baseball cards? Story time with Eric and PSA makes a bad move as far as we're concerned.

A card scandal? Well, not really, but maybe. The guys talk about an auto wiping incident and more new products dropping for way to much money. Also, do you like buffets? How many licensed baseball products came out in 2023? We dare you to guess.

Eric talks about his latest rip while Rob talks about some of what he has bought lately including a 1 in 11,815 odd card. Also, the guys explain PSA's new grading options through GameStop

Just like the title says, we are extra minty and fresh this week with some numbers. Did PSA open a can of worms? We think so. What would you do with $140 ?

When you see a card, sometimes you just have to pony up. Topps is printing money, not literally, but close enough. Some good stuff in the hobby, and some not so good.

Rob and Eric talk about some of their favorite inserts from the 90's, raw prices vs. graded prices, and Topps gets the Marvel license in 2025.

The guys have a good chat about today's mass production of cards and wonder if we are sunfish or not? Also, they consider this year's Topps chrome basketball and what movies/shows have had cards featured in them.

The guys point out some possible bargains for ripping as well as making a tough choice (relatively) on a What Would You Open question. Are on card autos undervalued?

Eric's a bit under the weather so the guys shorten things up but still power through it.
