Collecting Cardboard

Yeah, we know Un-Sellables isn't really a word, but it works if you get the movie reference.  Also, the one card to rule them all, Cosmic Chrome, a 1954 Topps box and Fanatics is getting sued, by Panini....

Rob's dad was being stubborn but how does that relate to cards? Well you'll just have to listen to find out. Quick take on Topps Now and Hot boxes plus much more.

We talk about HOF Rookie Cards from the 1980's and more including are breakers getting juiced boxes and will Elly De La Cruz have a RC this year?

Breaks are possibly getting reined in by Topps and Fanatics. What could that. mean for some dealers and breakers. Rob sold his 71 set and doesn't know what's next. Shohei is showing up this year in a big way, how high can his cards go?

Come celebrate big news for the guys at Collecting Cardboard.  An age limit for buying cards? What's that crazy talk? Rob's SGC order and PSA is running a new special.

We've been doing this for over a year now. Wait, what? We forgot to celebrate our one year anniversary. Rob's ready to move on from 1971 and new products are out.

They guys talk Pele, Bowman Inception University, and what they've been up to lately in the hobby. Plus, Eric tees one up for Rob.

Rob has never had a Tasty Cake prior to this episode in which he devoured several different varieties thanks to Eric. And yes, this is card related, sort of. Some players off to hot starts, but Rob bought one anyway.  Ever regret getting rid of a card?  Editors Note: This was recorded on Tuesday before Eric had received and opened his 2023 Bowman, but let's just say he did alright with it. We...

Rob's back from vacation, Eric's buying Bowman and a cool feature on MLB The Show 2023.

Sorry about the delay on this but Rob was on vacation and forgot to post it prior to heading to Disney with the family. Baseball Classic is Awesome! Eric is buying Pokemon. ESPN Top 100 Players List.

2023 Topps Big League is no longer a kids product. What exactly is a rookie card anyways?  Eric is in the black and Rob bought a prom dress...for his daughter.  Point of Clarification: The Ryan Mountcastle card Rob picked up and mentions in the show is actually a 2016 Bowman Chrome prospects card. His First Bowman was in fact in 2015, proving yet again, Rob's an idiot.

Rob shares a dream he had as well as news out of the Topps Conference and how will changes to baseballs rules possibly impact trading cards.

Eric bought himself a Jumbo case of 2023 Topps Series 1.  We talk about COMC and CSG's partnership and Fanatic's live break plans. What is card cleaning and is it ok? Plus other random banter.  

Eric and Rob give their time frame for what the junk wax era is and some of the cards in them.  Also, the importance of stretching before going to look at cards as well as Rob's new found love of late 90's cards and Erics continued appreciation for them. Where's the market right now and some advice on comping cards (don't be a jerk about it). 

A recap of a couple card shows from the past two weeks, plus a Would You Rather segment, and the guys first Give Away. Don't miss out on the fun.

Rob already crossed off a New Years resolution. Eric got a couple "dimes" and a little high end wax talk.

PSA's new pricing level and what it means. SGC is still a good value. Are pitchers done making the HOF? What predictions and goals do the guys have for the new year?  Happy Holidays and Happy New year!

Yes, Rob can keep Eric awake, but can we keep you, our listening audience awake? Rob likes the value in Yordan Alvarez cards, do you? Eric thinks Christian Pulisic is a buy now, so what are you waiting for? 

What's 1988 Topps good for? What to do if you get a messed up card. Rob made a boo-boo.

What to do with your commons? Make some people happy, thats what. Also, we talk about the Baseball Hall Of Fame Players Committee potential nominees to the hall including Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens and what that means for their cards.  

How do you feel about cutting up memorabilia for cards? Are packs stacked and sent to breakers? Who are you picking for the World Series?

Is Eric alright? I think so, well, maybe....  Pitchers or hitters, who are you taking? And some updates on grading.

So Rob made a small oopsie, but does it make him an idiot?  Also, who do you collect that's not a star?  And Topps isn't all bad, we swear.  

Uh oh, what did Rob do and does Eric agree with it? Eric is doing a stack sale and Rob is making a Jim Gilliam run plus more.  

Is Rob really having a mid-life crisis? Who would you pick first in a sandlot game, Mays or Mantle? And damn does Eric's audio sound good this week.
