Baseball card

Or is there, uh...

A-and also I wanna ask the question, is there genuine investment value underneath the hype, really? Um, because all these people are spending all this money, uh, in these sports cards.

Is it the right way as a young person to try to grow your wealth? Nevertheless, I'm sure there's enthusiasts, and I'm, I'm not really talking to the enthusiast here who does this as a hobby because they love the look of a card or, you know, they, um, they love what it represents.

It brings them back, like, to their childhood or anything like that.

Um- And that's pretty damn hard to do.

[chuckles] Um, really hard to do.

And I know there's people out there that trade sports cards and flip 'em and say, "Oh, this guy's hot this year, and I'll buy him, and I think he'll have a good year." And yeah, sure, that's, that's kind of like fundamental investing where you think a company's gonna have a good period or you buy, you know, something else, gold or that, that is hot.

But I, I said before Tulip Mania, um, that, that was the reference.

Yes, I am pretty disappointed in David and for not getting the, the Seinfeld reference.

Now it makes me wonder, did he understand my George Costanza reference on Sports Cards Live on Saturday night?

I don't, I don't know what he understands.

I mean, he's, he's so LA, it's crazy.

Yeah.

That makes sense.

Um, you were on Sports Cards Live the other day.

Was I?

All right.

So this is, of course, This Week in Sports Cards, joined by Chris Sewall.

Chris, what's going on today?

Same old, same old, you know, buying cards, selling cards, and yeah, talking to Mike Junkwax here on a podcast.

Can you see this card here? Yeah.

All right.

So this is Atlanta sports cards.

They bought this card.

So insignificant-

Sports cards is a lifestyle.

Sports cards and we live now.

Jeremy Lee in the building, and every guest that you ever needed.

Sports cards after hours, keep the hobby heated.

Updates, hobby talk like you never seen it.

Sports cards live, ain't nothing could ever beat it.

Sports cards is a lifestyle.

Critical.

Well, it started with baseball cards.

Okay.

Yeah.

So, you know, people ask when my entrepreneurial journey started and it was like, I was a hardcore baseball card guy.

So I was begging my dad to take me to all the card shows and was trading up all the time.

And I just got my baseball cards delivered back to me from my mother two weeks ago.

So I was able to unbox all of these.

Yeah, so this news about PSA and $60 standard tier opening came out, I believe it was two Wednesdays ago.

And Chris Sewell and I recorded our episode of This Week in Sports Cards that day.

And so we didn't have a ton of time to think about it, but I'm pretty sure Chris had the same reaction to it.

Like...

So Greg, I often disagree with

Jeff

and he, right after that, he talked about what a brilliant idea would be to shift Pokemon graders to sports cards or vice versa, which is the dumbest idea ever, because why would you, if you have more demand with Pokemon.

Why would you not take sports car graders? If you're a business, I'm a sports car guy.
