Will the Return of Topps Chrome Basketball Have Same Prestige with Unlicensed Product?; Other Product Release News from 2024 Topps Industry Conference
EPISODE 209 - Clark and John get right into the Friday episode by starting the discussion on all the announcements from the recent 2024 Topps Industry Conference.
First, they give their thoughts on the return of Topps Chrome Basketball this summer, which will feature unlicensed cards (ie. no team logos) but it will contain autographs of superstar players like Victor Wembanyama, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry to name a few.
Will the unlicensed product still have the same wide appeal simply because it's released by Topps or will it be undervalued similar to other unlicensed sets like Panini Baseball or Leaf autograph cards?
They also touch upon where the MLB Debut Patch cards will be for the top rookies who made their debut this year including Jackson Chourio and Jackson Holliday.

Are Recent Chase Cards Cool or Gimmicky (Wemby Topps Dynasty Alien Inscription; Caitlin Clark Set, Beatles Quad Auto)?; Mike Trout Red Refractor a Buy at $200K!; Playing "To Buy or Not To Buy"
EPISODE 204 - Clark, John, and Will open the show discussing the Mike Trout 2009 Bowman Chrome red refractor rookie autograph card which dropped 80% in value within 1.5 years (from $1.08 million to $216,000.) Was it a steal at the $200K price tag or is that money better spent on other cards?
Then for Hobby Headlines, they go over some of the recent chase cards and sets (ie. Victor Wembanyama Topps Dynasty card with alien inscription drawing; Caitlin Clark Collegiate set to name a couple) announced in the hobby, and categorize each of them as "cool" or "gimmicky."
Next, they introduce a new segment called "To Buy or Not To Buy" where Clark, John, and Will each talk about a card they're thinking of buying. And then the other two try to convince the one looking to buy reasons to buy the card or to talk them out of it for whatever reason.
Lastly, as usual, they play their weekly segment "Pick 1" with the guest hosts putting up two cards this time and everyone debating which they'd rather invest in.
