Stacking Slabs

A set comes out. For a week, it’s all the hobby talks about. Months later, someone is looking for the card that finishes their rainbow. Who’s making something for that collector?
On this flagship episode of Stacking Slabs, I talk about what gives collectors a reason to come back. I share what I saw when nearly 400 people came to the Wrestling Card Takeover at the National, why I want to hear what a collector sold to buy a Priest Holmes Superfractor, and what happens when a friend sends you a card you didn’t know existed.
It’s a conversation about why I’m building shows around the cards you collect and what that’s taught me about growth in the hobby.

Katelyn and Mark each draft five WNBA card inserts. Katelyn opens with Impeccable Timeless Moments autographs. Mark answers with Select Color Wheel and Prizm Color Blast. Then 1997 Pinnacle My Town comes off the board before Mark can take it.
Along the way, they talk about what makes an insert worth collecting, why Mark would build a binder page of Prizm Kaleidoscopic, and what collectors miss when case hits get most of the attention.

Steve Summers introduced his son Nick to collecting by opening packs together. Today, they’re building Sports Cards Grading as a family.
In this episode of Passion to Profession, Steve and Nick join Brett to talk about turning their connection through cards into a business on eBay Live. They discuss Nick’s decision to leave his job, the work behind 50,000 auctions in 2026, and why knowing what someone collects changes how they serve them.
They know the teams their buyers follow. They know their children’s names. And they buy cards at shows with those collectors in mind.
It’s a conversation about building a business around the people who keep showing up.

A collector gives your business another visit. What can they count on?
This week on Hobby Jobs, Brett explores the work behind earning that return. From Dick’s House of Sport card events to Bert Ryan’s approach at Grand Salami Sports Cards, he examines how shops, breakers, and creators give collectors a reason to come back.
Brett shares what building Stacking Slabs has taught him about keeping commitments, learning from an audience, and making a business part of someone’s routine.

What keeps bringing you back to a set, a wrestler, or a card that the rest of the hobby seems to pass over?
Brett joins Adam to make their cases for 2019 Topps Transcendent, Chrome Sapphire, Revolution Galactics, Steve Austin, and Randy Orton. They discuss what draws them to these cards and how set history, design, and the wrestlers we grew up watching shape collecting decisions.
They examine GemRate’s eBay sales data, the Alexa Bliss rookie autograph Superfractor at Goldin, and sales involving Austin, Cena, and Oba Femi. Plus, WWE booking, Demon Finn Bálor’s return, and what happens to a collecting community when more money and attention enter the conversation.
