Sports Cards Live

Jeremy is joined by Joe Poirot, with Josh Adams and Chris McGill joining the conversation as it opens up into a broader look at the hobby itself… and whether what we’re seeing today is evolution, or something else entirely. Different perspectives start to surface around how the hobby has changed over time, with a clear tension between old school approaches and newer ways of collecting. Along the w...

The conversation continues as Chris from Missouri shares a powerful example of what it really means to collect on your own terms… choosing a card that looks right over one that grades higher, and keeping a significant amount of money in the process. That sparks a deeper discussion around eye appeal versus grade, and why more collectors are starting to question the weight we give to the number on t...

Jeremy is joined by David Chase along with Orlando as the conversation shifts into a deeper question… Does your collection actually mean anything? This segment digs into the idea of collecting with purpose, and what it really looks like to build a collection that reflects who you are instead of just following trends, hype, or what everyone else is doing. It becomes a conversation about identity… t...

Jeremy is joined by David Chase to start, before Orlando joins, and the conversation quickly gets into something every serious collector eventually faces… At what point do you stop holding onto cards you like… and start chasing the ones you truly love? That leads into a bold collection reset strategy, including the idea of upgrading by downgrading, and how moving down in grade can actually improve...

Jeremy Lee is joined by Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams as the final segment brings the conversation full circle, digging into one of the most deceptively difficult exercises in the hobby: ranking your own cards. What starts as a simple question quickly unravels into a deeper discussion around whether “top cards” should be defined by market value, personal preference, nostalgia, or some c...

Jeremy Lee is joined by Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams as the conversation zeroes in on one deceptively simple question that turns out to be anything but… what actually defines an advanced collector? What begins as a continuation of the earlier discussion quickly sharpens into a multi-layered debate, with input from the panel and the chat helping to shape the definition in real time. Is...

Jeremy Lee is joined by David Chase, Jeremy “Texas Snowman” Donson, and Joe Poirot as the conversation takes a more philosophical turn before Chris McGill and Josh Adams join the panel. What starts as a continuation of the value discussion quickly evolves into a much deeper debate around how collectors should actually think about cards. Chris introduces a sharp perspective that flips the typical a...

Jeremy Lee continues with David Chase and Jeremy “Texas Snowman” Donson of Collector Investor Auctions as the conversation moves beyond surface-level takes and into how collectors actually behave in real situations. Reacting to audience comments, the group challenges the idea that collectors can fully separate enjoyment from value, especially when meaningful dollars are involved. Jeremy Donson sha...

Jeremy Lee is joined by David Chase to kick off the show, before welcoming Jeremy “Texas Snowman” Donson of Collector Investor Auctions. The episode begins with Jeremy sharing his experience traveling to New York City to broadcast live from the Fanatics Collect studio, offering a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like operating in a completely different environment and how the show evolved in...

In this episode, Jeremy Lee closes out Episode 305 with Joey Elmasri, David Chase, and Josh Adams by digging deeper into one of the biggest underlying questions in the hobby: what happens if card values take a major hit? The conversation explores how each collector might respond to a serious market drop, whether that would actually change their approach, and why unrealized losses only matter if yo...

In this episode, Jeremy Lee continues the conversation with Joey from Hoops Hobby Hangout, David Chase, and Josh Adams for a deeper discussion about what today’s hobby is becoming and where it may be headed next. The episode begins with Joey sharing how Hoops Hobby Hangout came together, from early Instagram relationships and shared basketball card interests to building a group focused more on the...

In this episode, Jeremy Lee continues the conversation with David Chase after the now infamous missed bid on a Jackie Robinson card and explores a side of the story that had not been fully addressed yet: what about the seller? If a valid high bid was blocked by eBay’s internal safeguard system, did the seller lose out on thousands of dollars? Jeremy and David dig into the implications for major ca...

In this episode, Jeremy Lee is joined by Leighton Sheldon and David Chase for a conversation that moves from vintage hockey to a red hot show floor and then into one of the biggest modern card sales in hobby history. The episode opens with more discussion around the decision to break up a high grade 1966 Topps Hockey set card by card rather than sell it as a complete set. Along the way, the conver...

Jeremy Lee kicks off Episode 305 of Sports Cards Live with Joe Poirot by recapping a busy week that included Jeremy’s Pops and Comps book signing at Burbank Sports Cards, a night at the Lakers game in Los Angeles, and some memorable moments meeting collectors and hobby friends in person. The conversation then turns to one of Jeremy’s latest auction purchases: a Randy Moss Exquisite 1/1 patch card...

The conversation closes with one of the most thoughtful topics of the night: are we now in the era of learning from other collectors? Inspired by earlier discussion around research, collecting curiosity, and content that teaches rather than just showcases, Chris McGill brings a topic that gets to the heart of what hobby content can be at its best. The panel digs into the value of collector-created...

The conversation begins with a deeper look at selling in the hobby and whether there is still a negative stigma around trying to maximize returns, flipping cards, or moving inventory strategically. Jeremy, Joe, Greg, and Jason talk through the difference between ethical selling and short-term opportunism, the role of dealers and flippers in the ecosystem, and why so many collectors still have conf...

The conversation continues around hobby exploration, with a deeper look at how collectors discover new eras, new card types, and new lanes through research, curiosity, and community. Jeremy, Greg, and Jason talk about the fun of learning before buying, the value of studying what matters within a category, and why participation in a new area of the hobby does not have to begin with spending money....

The conversation continues with Jason from Professor Sports Cards as we talk about live streaming, audience interaction, and why some hobby communities feel so alive. Jeremy and Jason get into the role of call-ins, chat participation, and the balancing act of running a live show while keeping the audience engaged in real time. From there, the discussion turns to shipping headaches, cross-border fr...

We kick off the show with hobby updates, channel announcements, and a look at what appears to be major momentum in the vintage market coming out of the Philly Show. Leighton Sheldon checks in with a quick report from the floor, and the early conversation turns into a broader read on hobby health, market energy, and why community continues to be one of the strongest forces keeping collectors engage...

This segment is a pure hobby hang. The chat goes from recency bias and collector psychology to one of the funniest “punishments” ever suggested for people who cannot agree to disagree. From there, the conversation swings back to Leaf, where David drops his favorite detail: the set numbering that practically dared kids to chase a completion that was never going to happen. It turns into a quick, hon...

We shift from the “48 vs 49 Leaf” debate into two things collectors actually wrestle with: how we form our taste, and how our collecting evolves over time. David lays out his theory that most people start with what was modern when they began collecting, then gradually move backward into their era, iconic cards, and eventually deeper vintage, pre war, and oddball. The crew pushes on whether that’s...

Episode 303 rolls on with the aftermath of the PSA 1 Leaf Jackie saga, and the emotional hangover that comes with chasing a true one of one copy in your mind. We unpack why Jackie Robinson sits on a different level for collectors, why that specific card felt like a “lifetime” target, and how eye appeal can completely scramble what the label says you’re supposed to value. From there, the conversati...

Leighton Sheldon joins the show as the Heritage night keeps moving, with major bidding updates including the Michael Jordan 1 of 1 crossing the 2 million mark and the Wagner still in play. We also hit a quick check-in on the wild Hulk Hogan WrestleMania boots sale and run through a Kronozio spotlight on their “trading cards to cash” business-in-a-box bundles. Then the conversation turns to hobby p...

Episode 303 kicks off with us tracking the T206 Honus Wagner as bidding climbs, react to late auction momentum, and tour a lineup of heavy hitters including the Wilt Chamberlain rookie uniform lot and two Michael Jordan 1 of 1 Masterpieces closing the same night. Along the way, we get into eye appeal versus technical grade, do a detailed O Pee Chee Gretzky compare, and talk honestly about how much...

We kick off with a tease for next week’s show: a topic that surprised even me once I actually sat with it. I collect memorabilia cards. I love patches. I collect autograph memorabilia cards too. But I don’t chase autograph only cards, and I’m not talking about vintage autos or in person signatures. I mean modern autograph sets and modern autograph singles. So why do patches pull me in, but autogra...
