    GOATs Are Rare. Sets Can Be Forever.

    What makes a player a true hobby GOAT? And why do sets sometimes matter as much as the athletes on the cardboard? In this episode, Brett explores the recipe behind collecting greatness. He breaks down why only a select few players reach GOAT status, the role of cultural impact and iconic moments, and why certain sets, brands, and parallels hold long-term value. You’ll hear stories about Jordan, Ruth, Jackie, Brady, Kobe, Serena, and others who transcend their sports, plus insights into how products like 2003 Exquisite, 2012 Prizm, and 1952 Topps shape the hobby. Whether you’re chasing legends or building around iconic sets, this episode is a guide for thinking long-term, adding stability to your collection, and enjoying the stories behind the cards we all love.

    The WNBA Card Podcast: When Demand Outpaces Supply

    This week on The WNBA Card Podcast, Brett and Katelyn dig into the tension every collector is feeling right now. Demand for WNBA cards has never been stronger. Sales are surging, collectors are engaged, and stars like Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark are driving attention. But where are the new releases? We unpack the lack of communication from Panini, the mystery behind Donruss and Impeccable, and why this moment feels like a massive miss for the category. We also share our perspectives on recent big sales, what supply and demand means for the market, and highlight some undervalued cards collectors should be paying attention to. From frustrations to silver linings, this episode is about what happens when passion for the WNBA collides with the realities of the hobby.

    Pack and Brett hit a milestone with Episode 10 of The Football Card Podcast. This week is packed with optimism heading into football season and plenty of collecting talk. From Mitchell Trubisky nostalgia to Anthony Richardson’s Nebula, to debating Eli vs. Kurt Warner, the number 10s take center stage.

We also break down recent sales like Michael Penix Jr.’s NT Shield, Calvin Johnson’s Finest Gold, Peyton Manning’s Contenders Rookie Ticket, and Charles Tillman’s Chrome Superfractor. We close it out with this week’s Card Callout: show us your favorite pair of cards—teammates, rivals, or anything that fits together. Episode 10 is live and football cards are heating up.
