The Hobby With Cage

Sure- the numbers are better when you make shock content... But is that better for the hobby long term? I don't think so.

Where my mind is at- and why. I can't believe what I am selling- but I explain why.

One week off and wow...I come back to s many things to be excited about in our space. Shows, Auction prices, Hobby Rip Night and more things on the horizon than I can fit into one episode!

Breaking/flipping/hoarding? My way of doing things is not your way- and that is not only ok... its what makes his hobby great.

Jags from Blez Breaks joins to talk about influencers, breakers, negativity and education. This was a fun one for me. A look behind the scenes at one of the biggest breakers. Enjoy!

Please share this with anyone who felt that our hobby was not a space for them after hearing the BackYard comments. Thank you.

The Villain is here- but what can he do to become the hero like so many have done before him? What will it take in your eyes to see him as the hero?

You read that right. With cards- is it possible that Wemby will still be a rookie in 2026?

Quick hitter. Jayden Daniels is Fool's Gold

You knew it was coming! Its time to Sell Jayden Daniels now.

You already know I love the Holiday Topps cards- but now I have a story to tell and another reason to love them even more. Lets talk Hobby in 2025!

I give the card manufacturers a lot of crap but some of the holiday stuff is pretty cool. Lets talk collecting Holiday cards

Bounties are everywhere in the hobby but do they expire? and if they do- when? The answer is not that simple.

Beckett News that isn't news... The Real story at the Philly Show and more!

Breaking wax? Grading Cards? You have to hit both ends of the parlay to win!

A message from a listener changes my perspective on the hobby quickly and serves as a reminder that there are so many hobby members- and we should help where we can.

Ok- You consolidated... What next? The Hobby is full of landmines. Why should people stay after one explodes?

The two big topics this week. Becketts numbers are way down. Fan Fest is back. Lets discuss both.

A funny thing happened when my son was making his Christmas Wish List- but is it enough to keep the hobby going? What do you think about the Hobby Gimmicks? Do they bring in new collectors? and if they do- will those new people stay?

Bounties to the Left- Collectors to the right- how do you walk the line in the middle? How do you find balance?

The space is getting quiet... and I don't really mind Do you?

Can you buy everything? Will that be sustainable? Is there a sport/release etc- that is the one you should focus one? I think my Friday Openings with my son will start to be more tailored to the stuff he actually likes opening. What a crazy idea!!!

Topps Now lottery fail? When to sell a Huge Card? Help!

Fanatics cancelled Fan Fest. Geoff is on a plane with a box of Mercury and my cards are selling for peanuts! What a week!

Wemby was the test rocket.. But they aren't stopping at the moon or Mercury! They will do Messi to Mars- and put Lebron in Uranus! and I am all for it! Enjoy!
