Stacking Slabs

Topps WWE’s Tim Trout joins Adam and Ryan to explain how the team is connecting collectors to wrestling history through cards.
Tim shares the plan behind Topps Universe, the scarcity of the Slammed inserts, the use of match-related materials, and the work required to place key relic pieces into one-of-one cards. He also reveals incoming Joe Hendry guitar-pick relics, Danhausen’s first certified Topps WWE autographs, and what determines which debut patches reach each Chrome release.
Then Adam and Ryan examine the John Cena WrestleMania Patch Auto crossing $250,000 and why one sale does not establish the value of every WrestleMania patch.
The episode closes with a question for wrestling collectors: If collectors across the hobby are shifting toward proven stars, which wrestling legends have been left behind?
Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Dusty Rhodes, Eddie Guerrero, and other names enter the discussion.

One NFL game can change how you see a player, a team, and the cards sitting on your watch list.
Pack and Brett examine when an on-field result creates a buying opportunity and when it creates an emotional decision.
They discuss the risks of team collecting, the long-term outlook for Justin Herbert, Sam Darnold’s lack of hobby attention, and whether the $1.238 million Tom Brady Prizm Black Finite sale changes the football card market.
The conversation also covers Panini’s run with the NFL license, Week 1 reactions, recent card sales, and the importance of setting your price before an auction ends.
Are you buying the card because it fits your collection or because of what happened on Sunday?

What gives a card value when no comparable sale can explain why it matters to you?
Chris McGill and Josh Johnson join Brett for a conversation about what the market cannot price.
They discuss the owner’s price, replacement difficulty, the appeal of one-of-ones, and the difference between following the market and building your own card hierarchy.
Josh shares why he bid $27,000 on a Todd Gurley card that he won for $4,000. Chris explains the history behind his 1998 Topps Gold Label Wayne Gretzky one-of-one and why he regrets selling parts of his Christian McCaffrey collection.
Price data matters. It gives collectors context. It does not measure what a card completes, what it took to find, or how losing it would change your collection.
This conversation is about using market data without letting the market make your decisions for you.

The hobby spends a lot of time talking about how cards enter collections and how they leave.
We talk about the chase, the deal, the grade, and the sale.
We skip the years when the card is yours.
In this episode, Brett explores what ownership gives collectors beyond market value. He shares the story behind four T.Y. Hilton Prizm Black Finite 1/1s and examines how time, knowledge, memory, and relationships deepen our connection to cards.
Keeping a card is not always the absence of a decision.
Sometimes, keeping the card is the point.

Shawn (@motorcitymarks) started following Marina Mabrey when she arrived at Notre Dame. When she entered the WNBA, he knew he wanted to collect her cards.
That decision became a supercollection.
Katelyn and Shawn discuss the hunt for Mabrey’s cards, the work behind completing rainbows, the role relationships have played in finding one-of-ones, and why her 2021 Prizm Gold /10 remains his personal grail.
They also examine Mabrey’s role with the Toronto Tempo, the growth of her card market, and what representing an entire country can mean for the next wave of WNBA collectors.
