In this flagship episode of Stacking Slabs, Brett reflects on how his relationship with collecting shifted over the past year. The change was not driven by bigger cards, higher prices, or chasing status. It came from slowing down, buying fewer cards, and spending more time with the ones that stayed.He shares why he stopped explaining cards through history or market logic and started focusing on what they meant to him personally. The episode explores restraint, patience, and learning to trust internal signals instead of outside validation. Brett talks openly about the cards he did not buy, the auctions he walked away from, and the trade offs that sharpened his direction as a collector.This conversation is for collectors who feel overwhelmed by volume, noise, or pressure to keep chasing. It is about building in instead of building up, gaining clarity through honesty, and allowing a collection to reflect how you think today rather than how you used to think.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
