Stacking Slabs

What happens when your team’s playoff run puts the cards you want beyond your budget?
Katelyn and Mark open Season 6, Episode 1 with a conversation about the WNBA Finals and what winning means for collectors. They discuss Angel Reese, Gabby Williams, and the tension between cheering for your team and watching card prices climb.
Katelyn shares how she found a 2023 Origins Napheesa Collier Black 1/1 for her six-card collection. Mark explains why this playoff run has him revisiting cards he owns.
They also talk rookie targets, Donruss, Prizm, and deciding when to buy or wait. Plus, a pack rip featuring a Marina Mabrey autograph /49 that will go to a listener through @wnbacardpod on Instagram.

What makes you return to a card shop, open someone’s stream, or trust them with your collection?
This week, I’m recording solo and reflecting on twelve conversations from Passion to Profession. From Grant Slayton helping me find my Andrew Luck 1/1 to Collins Boyce welcoming collectors who aren’t buying, I look at the work that earns another visit.
I also share how these lessons shape my decisions at Stacking Slabs. Hiring, handing off responsibilities, supporting my family, and giving you a reason to keep listening are all part of building this business.
If you collect cards or work in the industry, this conversation asks you to think about what earns your trust.

What happens when customers want to buy from you, but growing the business means letting someone else earn their trust?
In this episode of Hobby Jobs, I explore that question through my conversation with Josh O’Daniel of Odeezy Sports Cards. We talk about handing off responsibilities, helping employees build relationships, and teaching the standards customers count on without asking people to copy your personality.
I also examine Arena Club’s partnership with the Philadelphia 76ers and what happens after a fan’s introduction to collecting. Getting someone’s attention starts the relationship. The experience that follows gives them a reason to return.

The card you’ve been waiting for hits the market. Do you buy it, or does seeing more copies for sale make you question your collection?
Adam and Ryan answer listener questions about wrestling cards, patience, and where they’re putting their collecting dollars. They discuss the supply arriving through Panini redemption fulfillment, what draws them to Flawless, and why 2019 Topps Transcendent and 2015 Topps Undisputed deserve attention.
The conversation also covers WWE sales data, what auction results leave out, Topps release calendars, and Money in the Bank predictions. Plus, a question worth asking before you sell a card to fund a break: Are you giving up the card you hope to pull?

You spend months looking for a card. You make the deal. Then you open your saved searches and start looking for another.
When do you take time to enjoy what you’ve built?
Pack and Brett  discuss the research, negotiations, and relationships that keep collectors buying and selling. Brett shares how spending 10–15 minutes with his cards has helped him appreciate his collection. Pack explains how viewing a sale as a trade helps him decide which cards to let go.
The conversation covers Bowman University’s place in Bowman, Topps Chrome Cosmic, and sales featuring Patrick Mahomes, Saquon Barkley, Calvin Johnson, Drew Brees, and Manti Te’o.
