Stacking Slabs

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.

You want the card. But are you willing to sell what you own to get it?
Pack and Brett discuss a 2011 Topps Finest Dez Bryant Superfractor 1/1 PSA 10 and why collectors chase players whose careers meant something to them.
Listener questions bring the conversation back to your collection. How do you get comfortable spending more on one card? What happens when your collecting interests change? And should you buy cards outside your player collection to help fund it?
Pack shares how selling Damian Lillard and James Harden Select Golds helped him buy a Priest Holmes Superfractor. Plus, Bears and Colts fandom, football card sales, and a call to share your Finest football cards.

Bert Ryan wants to open a card shop in Seattle where collectors can meet, talk sports, and trade. He’s building the business that can pay for it through breaks.
On Hobby Jobs, Bert tells Brett how Grand Salami Sports Cards sources wax without manufacturer allocations, prices breaks that can have 600 player spots, and helps collectors get images of their cards before the mail arrives. He explains why he kept buying 2022 Topps Finest Flashbacks and how he weighs the rest of a checklist when one card gets most of the attention.
If you run breaks, you’ll hear where Bert puts his time to earn a second purchase. If you buy into them, you’ll leave with a question to ask before you pay for your next spot.

Hobby Jobs is sponsored by BCW Supplies. For over 45 years, BCW has helped retailers and wholesale partners stay stocked with the storage and display accessories collectors trust—backed by dependable fulfillment and consistency to keep shelves stocked and margins strong.

You know what you collect. How do you stay connected to it between purchases?
In this episode, Brett explores building a system around your collecting lane. A conversation with Chris McGill on Card Ladder Confidential prompts a look at the searches collectors check, the sales they track, the people they learn from, and the information they keep.
Brett shares how researching a 2005 Topps Turkey Red Philip Rivers Wood 1/1 gave him context for the purchase and a reason to keep studying the release.
The episode covers search habits, keeping records, building relationships, and setting spending limits before a card appears. It also examines how collectors can keep learning and participating during months when they buy nothing.
