Sports Card Nobody

I'm a collector, but tonight I confess a story of trying to make an aggressive investment play. It went sideways. Let's talk about it!

I had a very special guest lined up but just before our recording we had to postpone. Like a true amateur I didn't have a legit backup plan sooooo, this is the episode! I discuss some sports, preach about my Wolfpack, and self-debate the morality of selling cards during tragedy. Let's talk about it!

I announce some details on the social media GOAT Royal Rumble game I'm running including a giveaway of a hobby box. Also, I recap my holidays with some really cool card related gifts, sharing the hobby with my nephew, and I wrap it up with my top 5 pickups of the 2022.

Ricky Starks went off on MJF for being cheap. This hobby is full of cheap, lazy, and disappointing behavior. Inspired by Absolute's career-defining promo I finally vent on some of the cheap heat people in this space are living off of.  Plus, I had a massive, massive mail day and I'll be doing a giveaway. Let's talk about it!

Brett McGrath, in my opinion, has become of the most important voices in the hobby with his Stacking Slabs podcast. He bucks the mainstream and pushes passion over profits by curating with continuity. Yes, we talk some wrestling, but if you love cards, you'll love what Brett brings to the table. Let's talk about it!

Rob Girard hosted an incredible collaboration of some phenomenal content creators, and I'm there too! Along with Rob, we got to sit down with Cousin Tony and Cousin Oz of Cousins Collectibles (and also The Faction ever heard of it?), and Ken Cairns of Sports Card Lessons. The 5 of us share a legitimate passion for this hobby, so much so we all decided to put ourselves out there and create our podc...

The Cousins Collectibles Podcast and the Sports Card Nobody are back at it. Volume 2 of the Faction is out and they're attacking the hobby from all angles. What is CardPorn up to? What's Ken Goldin's play? Most importantly...are you ripping or slabbing Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas?

50 episodes? Holy hell I can't believe it's been a full year. I spend this episode talking about how the hobby has changed and grown for me over the last 50 episodes. Also, in honor of 1 season done I share a special top 5. Let's talk about it!

Friend of the show Scott DeMay joins me to talk about the amazing ECCA show he gave to CT at the Mohegan Sun Casino. We talk about the QandA panel featuring the amazing talents of Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Dragonball, Ninja Turtles and more of your favorite cartoons. Meanwhile, the show continues to grow and Scott drops some big new of the future. Let's talk about it!

I have not bought a single card in weeks. How the hell do I stay active in this community then? I have 2 awesome stories to share about how I'm doing exactly that. Let's talk about it!

I finally got the guts to send some stuff to PSA, but I did it with some help. In this episode I'm sharing my entire experience using Gotbaseballcards.com to send in some wrasslin cards. Let's talk about it!

Happy Halloweeeeeeeen! I love this time of year. I love the decorations, I love the trick or treating, and more than anything I love the ability to relish in our fears. This week I decide to do just that and talk about our fears within the hobby, and how I try to work around them to continue to build and enjoy my PC. Also, I countdown the greatest October MLB performances of all time. Let's talk a...

Another rough week for me, but I'm back on the horn. I decide to get a little vulnerable here and share some real life thoughts and how I use this hobby as a means to help battle my own mental health issues. Let's talk about it.

Hockey is here! I don't know poop about it so I brought on a dude that does. Josh of Hockey Cards Gongshow joins the show learning me all things NHL and hockey hobby. Let's talk about it!

The hobby can really drag you down sometimes. I've seen others share the hard times they have feeling like they belong, and I can relate. This is how I manage. Let's talk about it.

Rob Girard, aka the Sports Card Therapist, has become a source of inspiration in terms of setting and meeting hobby goals. I set out some of my own goals moving forward as I continue to explore and enjoy this hobby to its fullest. Also, Albert Pujols became just the 4th player ever to reach 700 career home runs. This incredible accomplishment inspired this week's top 5 countdown. Let's talk about...

Rob G hosts a phenomenal pod sharing his hobby hustle and sprinkling in some self care along the way. He joins the pod to talk about his experiences, drop some wisdom, and explains how he sets and absolutely crushes goals. Also, we have fun with a little Hulk Hogan top 5! Let's talk about it, Brother!

I had a rough week. I spent time recovering thinking about what I wanted to talk about in this episode, and I really wanted to focus on the passions that drive me to collect what I do. I share some pivotal sports moments that help shape the things I curate and I reach out to you asking for you to do the same. Let's talk about it.

Dan Nguyen aka The Great Curator joins the pod. We're talking all things hobby and diving into his insane pop culture collection. Also, we have a really fun comic book related countdown on the back end .Let's talk about it!

Two of the coolest dudes in the sports card hobby stop by to chop it up about Allen Iverson, Philly sports, and Roberto Clemente cards. Cousin Oz and Cousin Tony are killing it in the podcast space and making the hobby a better place to hang out. Let's talk about it.

The Dodgers are facing down a potential historic season. This got me fired up and I decided to countdown the top 5 greatest MLB teams ever. Also, some new product ripped and I aimlessly share my thoughts about those patterns. Good luck keeping up. Let's talk about it!

Jason, AKA Contrarian Cards on IG, has one of the most broad, eclectic collections I've seen. He's got everything from vintage baseball to ultra-modern Star Wars. Toss in some Magic the Gathering and Game of Thrones stuff and you really have something to dig into. Also, we tag-team my weekly top 5 and it's got some surprises. Let's talk about it.

I sit down with Tony Vela, owner/operator of wrestlingtradingcards.com. For over 30 years Tony's compiled insane wrestling card knowledge, and even better stories. Also, I had a monster weekend finally meeting Bret Hart and I kick the show off with my Top 5 male wrestlers of all time. Let's talk about it!

I am in full-on recovery mode from spending 5 days at the National. It was...a lot. In this episode I share some stories and figure out what the heck is next. Let's talk about it.

I'm joined by one of the closest friends, Justin Henri, as we recap the first 3 days of our very first National. Spoiler, it's a massive show and insanely busy. Let's talk about it!
