Submit ReviewEPISODE 209 - Clark and John get right into the Friday episode by starting the discussion on all the announcements from the recent 2024 Topps Industry Conference.
First, they give their thoughts on the return of Topps Chrome Basketball this summer, which will feature unlicensed cards (ie. no team logos) but it will contain autographs of superstar players like Victor Wembanyama, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry to name a few.
Will the unlicensed product still have the same wide appeal simply because it's released by Topps or will it be undervalued similar to other unlicensed sets like Panini Baseball or Leaf autograph cards?
They also touch upon where the MLB Debut Patch cards will be for the top rookies who made their debut this year including Jackson Chourio and Jackson Holliday.

EPISODE 208 - Clark and John open the show by going through some of the top auctions in the Goldin 100 (ie. Michael Jordan logoman autograph card, 1933 Babe Ruth Goudey, Complete 1999 Pokemon PSA 10 Set) and discuss whether they would make a good investment at projected final bid prices.
Then Clark speaks with Jenny Marie of @jennymariesportscards on Instagram who just reached a big milestone recenlty – 3,000 followers! She shared her hobby journey, what it's like being a female collector and content creator in a hobby that is predominantly male, as well as what makes the Dallas Card Show special as she currently resides in Texas.
Plus as a resident of Texas, she describes the hype on some big names in the hobby currently playing for teams from cities in Texas including Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs, Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks, and CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans.

EPISODE 205 - Clark, Hyung, and Will open the show talking about the Goldin Auctions acquisition by eBay and what that means for the hobby. Then they take a brief moment to discuss the latest development in the Shohei Ohtani interpreter gambling scandal and whether they believe Shohei is really in the clear (and if they've become nervous at all about investing in his cards again.)
Then for Hobby Headlines, the guys go over the other big announcement that Fanatics Fest is taking place this August in New York City. They discuss whether this is good or bad news for The National that takes place just a few weeks prior. And they also discuss who Fanatics Fest is for and what they're hoping to expect at the inaugural event.
Next, they play another round of "Would You Rather" where Clark presents a couple of hobby scenarios and Hyung and Will decide which one they rather choose.

EPISODE 204 - Clark, John, and Will open the show discussing the Mike Trout 2009 Bowman Chrome red refractor rookie autograph card which dropped 80% in value within 1.5 years (from $1.08 million to $216,000.) Was it a steal at the $200K price tag or is that money better spent on other cards?
Then for Hobby Headlines, they go over some of the recent chase cards and sets (ie. Victor Wembanyama Topps Dynasty card with alien inscription drawing; Caitlin Clark Collegiate set to name a couple) announced in the hobby, and categorize each of them as "cool" or "gimmicky."
Next, they introduce a new segment called "To Buy or Not To Buy" where Clark, John, and Will each talk about a card they're thinking of buying. And then the other two try to convince the one looking to buy reasons to buy the card or to talk them out of it for whatever reason.
Lastly, as usual, they play their weekly segment "Pick 1" with the guest hosts putting up two cards this time and everyone debating which they'd rather invest in.

EPISODE 202 - Clark and Hyung welcome the hosts of The Oppotaco Podcast Chris Begg and Jason Willow – both former pro-baseball players as well as card collectors – to help kick off MLB Opening Day.
Off the top, they discuss the latest on the Shohei Ohtani's interpreter gambling controversy and monitor whether prices have dropped on Ohtani cards listed by panic sellers.
Then for Hobby Headlines, Begg and Willow share some of their MLB predictions including MVP picks, home run leaders, and Cy Young candidates. Then they all discuss whether any of those players are worth buying to invest in or to just collect as a card for the PC. They also go over the top 6 prospects/rookies this season and go over the value of some of their rookie cards to see if they'd buy, sell, or hold.
Next, they bring back the segment "Hobby Hot Takes" and make some bold statements and predictions for the upcoming season (ie. Wyatt Langford is a bust this season; Ronald Acuna Jr. becomes the first player to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases.)
Lastly, as usual, they play their weekly segment "Pick 1" with the guest hosts putting up two cards this time and everyone debating which they'd rather invest in.

EPISODE 201 - Clark, Hyung, and John discuss the Victor Wembanyama card cleaning controversy off the top of the show. Should it be considered altered or is it fair game to clean and submit to graders?
Then for Hobby Headlines, the guys give their take on the current state of the hobby and respond to some of Cage the Lawyer's critique of where he thinks the hobby stands at this moment. They also dive deeper into Kevin O'Leary's more recent interest in investing in the hobby and the optimism he holds for sports cards as a viable alternative asset class.
Afterwards, they play another round of "Over/Under" where Clark gives a list of five cards to Hyung and John, and then they guess whether the last sold price is over or under $4,000.
Lastly, Clark, Hyung, and John play their weekly segment "Pick 1" where each of the guys puts up two cards and then they debate which they'd rather invest in.

To end the Friday episode, they play a clip from The Oppotaco Podcast with hosts Chris Begg and Jason Willow who recently interviewed Toronto Blue Jays prospect Sam Shaw.
They asked him what it was like to sign thousands of his own 1st Bowman card, how long it took, his batting stance in the photo Topps chose for his rookie card, and more card-related questions!
