G.O.A.T. Talk
You don’t need me to tell you that a 7x champion, 3x regular season MVP, and 4x Super Bowl MVP is a solid addition to your sports card portfolio. But sometimes the most common sense is a bit too… common… and boring… and we forget. I did. I preached the thirds method in my ANOTHER…

UPDATED Maslow’s Hierarchy of Modern Sports Card Grading
It’s been a while since we tried to demystify modern sports card grading by introducing, “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Modern Sports Card Grading.” But collectors and investors are more mystified than ever and a new grading company, CSG, has entered the fray since our last post. CSG, part of the Certified Collectibles Group empire, global home…

find of the day.
I know. I know. I’m a broken record. Just a few weeks ago, I was talking about this Blowout Cards deal for 2017 Donruss Football Mega Boxes… which they are still offering for $399.95 here. And now I’m talking about 2017 Donruss Football hanger boxes. “Come on, Freddy. We get it. You think these 2017…

This should be called the STEAL OF THE DAY courtesy of Steel City Collectibles. Revolution is one of my favorite underrated products. The card design is cool. It’s hobby only and pre 2020 which means lower print runs. Check, Check, and Check. Jayson Tatum and Donovan Mitchell also head one of the most slept on…

find of the day.
Wax deals for 2017 football are almost nonexistent… and for the soundest of reasons. Who in their right mind wants to sell low on Patrick Mahomes? I don’t want to be that guy. And you shouldn’t be that guy or girl. Even amongst the current sports card market dip, you could do a lot worse…

king kong cards – peyton manning edition
What did Peyton Manning ever do to you? Whatever Peyton did to most sports card collectors and investors had to be downright awful and very, VERY personal. Steal your girlfriend or punch your Mom in the face kind of awful and personal. Which seems hyperbolically ridiculous and totally out of character… except for his Emmy-worthy…

wax on wax – junk wax 2.0?
My parents recently dropped off my old childhood boxes of cards — thanks for always supporting my avocations Mom and Pops — and I came across this beauty proudly certifying that I owned 1 out of a 150,000 Classic 1st Round baseball draft pick sets. One of 150,000! This got me to noodling on a…

don’t buy… Jayson Tatum right now.
I heart Jayson Tatum. I heart him almost as much as I heart Luka Doncic. He is an absolute beast on the offensive and defensive end. At 22, he’s already made 2 Eastern Conference Finals and been named an NBA All-Star… and he dominated the Wizards last night in the play-in game. So isn’t he…

Mookie Betts is the best all around baseball player on the planet right now. Sorry Mike Trout truthers. I love the Big Fish too. Trout is a better hitter statistically, but when you also factor in defense and baserunning, it’s Mookie all day. EVERY DAY. Rookie cards of the future Hall of Famer, perennial Gold…

don’t believe the hype – trae young edition
Today is the 1st installment of DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE, where I analyze which HOT cards are overvalued and poised for long term depreciation. While not as pleasant as prospecting hidden gems, it’s equally important to avoid these expensive hobby landmines… like investing at the height of the market and not being able to exit…
