    Don't Study Fanatics Fest. Study What It Reveals.

    Everyone will be talking about what happens at Fanatics Fest. Brett is more interested in what it means. In this episode of Stacking Slabs, Brett looks beyond the athlete appearances, product releases, and show floor buzz to examine Fanatics Fest as a signal for where the hobby is headed. He explores how Fanatics has built an ecosystem that connects sports, collecting, commerce, content, and loyalty, and why attention has become one of the most valuable assets in modern collecting. He also shares why he's attending the event as an observer, what he'll be watching on the show floor, and how Fanatics Fest and The National now serve different roles in the hobby. This isn't a preview of the weekend. It's a conversation about the forces shaping the future of collecting.

    Pricing the Grail: How to Make the Biggest Decision in Your Collection

    Every collector dreams about landing a grail. Very few spend enough time thinking about how to price one. When a card has little or no sales history, the normal playbook breaks down. There are no clean comps. No chart to follow. No market consensus to lean on. That is where your judgment matters. In this episode, Brett shares a framework for evaluating grails when public sales data falls short. He covers how to build a substitute universe, evaluate opportunity frequency, negotiate from a position of strength, know when to walk away, and determine the maximum price you can defend without lying to yourself. A grail is not only a collecting decision. It is a financial decision. It is a psychological decision. It is a test of discipline. If you're heading to Fanatics Fest, The National, or you're chasing a card that rarely surfaces, this episode will help you think through the biggest purchase your collection might ever face.

    Passion to Profession: Why Showing Your Work Builds Trust in Sports Cards with Mike from Leahi51513

    Most collectors share what they buy. Mike Inouye shares why. In this episode of Passion to Profession, Mike explains how content became one of the biggest drivers behind the growth of Leahi51513. Instead of telling collectors what card to chase, he walks through the research, context, and decision making behind every recommendation. We talk about why trust is earned through transparency, why process beats predictions, and why the hobby needs more independent thinkers instead of people waiting for the next hot tip. Mike also shares his thoughts on sports card talent, the responsibility that comes with influence, the growth of Formula 1, and an Aaron Judge card he believes deserves far more attention. If you create content, run a business, or want to become a better collector, this conversation is about far more than cards. It's about learning how to think.

    Hobby Jobs: Trust Is the Competitive Advantage with Grant Paterson of Total Sports Cards

    Everyone wants repeat business. Few people spend enough time earning it. This week on Hobby Jobs, Brett explores why trust compounds faster than transactions and why the businesses that last are built long before the first sale is complete. Then Brett sits down with Grant Paterson, owner of Total Sports Cards, live from Columbus Card Fest. Grant shares what it takes to build a modern hobby business, from running one of Canada's top hockey card operations to managing breaks, buying collections, hiring the right people, creating content, and making decisions that put relationships ahead of short term revenue. If you're building a card shop, consignment business, breaking operation, marketplace, or content brand, this conversation is packed with lessons on thinking like an operator. Topics include: • Why repeat business starts before the first sale • Building trust through systems and communication • Running a high volume breaking business • Hiring people who strengthen your business • Why content builds more than an audience • The opportunity Grant sees in hockey cards Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for free Get exclusive content, promote your cards, and connect with other collectors who listen to the pod today by joining the Patreon: Join Stacking Slabs Podcast Patreon Follow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
