    The WNBA Card Podcast: The WNBA Finds Its Icons — Bird, Taurasi, and the Superstar Era with Elodie (@egintz5)

    This episode moves the WNBA Card Podcast into the early 2000s, when Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi reshaped how fans connected to the league and how collectors thought about WNBA cards. It was a time defined by team-first collecting, limited media coverage, and cards that reflected presence and performance rather than profit. Katelyn is joined by Elodie (@egintz5), a collector from France whose Sue Bird collection is built on commitment and distance. They talk through early card design choices that still matter today, including first game jersey cards, rookie redemptions, and on-card autos from an era before overproduction. The conversation widens to international collecting and the reality of building a collection without local card shops. Long shipping timelines, US mailboxes, and community built through trust. It is a reminder that WNBA cards travel far beyond the league’s borders and that players like Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi became anchors for collectors who stayed for the love of the game.

    Booked to Last: Royal Rumble Reactions and What the Moment Means for Wrestling Cards

    Royal Rumble season is the moment when wrestling and collecting collide. Storylines sharpen. Careers tilt. And the card market reacts in real time. What happens in the ring doesn’t stay there. It shows up in sales, demand, and how collectors rethink their positions. In this episode, Adam and Ryan break down the 2026 Royal Rumble through a collector’s lens. They talk about why Liv Morgan’s win mattered beyond the pop, how Roman Reigns winning wasn’t about surprise but certainty, and why WrestleMania season rewards collectors who understand momentum before it becomes obvious. They also dig into AJ Styles’ legacy moment and what consistency looks like in both wrestling and collecting. Not every reaction needs to be a flip. Not every spike needs to be chased. The episode walks through how seasoned collectors separate noise from signal when the spotlight gets brighter. This conversation is about staying grounded when the market heats up. About knowing when to act, when to hold, and when to ignore the crowd. If you collect with intention and want your decisions to match what you actually value, this episode will resonate.

    The Football Card Podcast #33: Drake Maye Win a Super Bowl and What This Really Means for Football Cards

    This episode is about how collectors actually think when the noise gets loud. Pack and Brett work through the week that sits right on top of the Super Bowl and right in the middle of a Prizm release. The market is moving. Opinions are flying. Prices are changing in real time. They break down what cultural impact means for players like Shedeur Sanders and why performance alone no longer tells the full story. They look at Prizm in hand and how design, feel, and timing change perception. They dig into post playing day cards and why rigid rules often fall apart once a card hits your search results. You’ll hear why some collectors chase liquidity while others chase conviction. Why Kabooms command attention. Why certain golds feel overpriced until they don’t. And why patience keeps showing up as the hardest skill to learn. This is a conversation for collectors who trust their taste more than the comment section and want to build collections they can stand behind five years from now.

    MEGA EPISODE: Inside PSA’s Spotlight Auction and a 90s Collector’s Conviction with Andy (@byebyebabycards)

    This is a two-part episode about conviction in a hobby that rarely slows down. I start with Justin Wickizer, Director of Marketplace at PSA, to unpack the thinking behind the PSA Vault Spotlight Auction. We talk about why PSA is leaning into curated auctions, how attention and storytelling shape outcomes, and what it means when high-end cards meet the reach of eBay. This part of the conversation pulls back the curtain on how institutions think about trust, visibility, and collector behavior in today’s market. Then the episode shifts from infrastructure to instinct. I’m joined by Andy to talk about building a 90s collection right now. Not from a hype angle, but from a place of intent. Andy shares how he approaches rarity, why research matters more than speed, and how patience and refinement have reshaped his collection over time. Together, these conversations explore the same question from two angles. How do you collect with confidence when everything around you is loud?

    The Hobby Is Changing. Your Collection Does Not Have To.

    The hobby is in the middle of a real transition. Licenses are moving. Logos are changing. Timelines feel unclear. And a lot of collectors feel uneasy without knowing why. This episode is not about what to buy next. It is about how to think while something big shifts around you. Panini to Topps. Fanatics stepping in. New marketing. New noise. Same collector sitting at home asking one quiet question. What does this mean for the way I collect? We talk mindset. Identity. Anxiety. Hype cycles. First year and last year traps. Why urgency feels loud right now. And how to slow down without falling behind. This episode is for collectors who want clarity, agency, and confidence while the ground feels like it is moving.

  6. The Panini Era: What It Gave Us and What It Trained Us to Chase

    The Panini Era: What It Gave Us and What It Trained Us to Chase

    We are standing at a turning point in the hobby. Before we rush into what comes next, this episode slows things down and looks back at the Panini era. Not to praise it. Not to tear it down. To understand it. Panini did more than release products. It reshaped how collecting looks, feels, and moves. From Prizm changing modern card design, to product ladders, chase mechanics, and a release calendar that never stopped, this era trained collectors in ways many of us did not notice in real time. This episode breaks down what actually happened during the Panini run. How the hobby expanded. How attention replaced intention. How rarity, desire, and visibility became tangled. And why understanding this era gives you more control as we head into the next one.

    Passion to Profession: How MC Sports Cards Built a High-End Consignment Brand on eBay

    Trust does not come from volume. It comes from choices made over time. In this episode of Passion to Profession, I sit down with Mike from MC Sports Cards to talk about how reputation became the foundation of his business. We get into why he chose quality over scale, how referrals built a powerful network effect, and what it really takes to earn trust when handling five and six figure cards. We also break down high-end cards on eBay, the impact of Authenticity Guarantee, MC Mondays, and why sometimes the best way to build trust is to say no to business. If you care about long-term relationships in the hobby, this one is for you. A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Passion to Profession. The biggest and best marketplace to buy your next favorite trading card.

    The WNBA Card Podcast: A League without a Blueprint — The First WNBA Cards with Annemarie @women.on.topps

    Before parallels.Before hype cycles.Before anyone talked about value. This episode goes back to where WNBA card collecting began. Katelyn sits down with Anne Marie of Women on Topps to unpack the late 1990s and early 2000s. A period when the league and the cards were being built at the same time. No rules. No roadmap. No expectations. They walk through the first licensed sets, cards that came in cans, early autographs, die cuts, shoe relics, and redemptions. More important, they talk about how collectors showed up back then. Team focused. Set driven. Community first. This conversation is about history.It’s about why this era still matters.And it’s about what modern collectors can learn from a time when collecting felt closer to fandom than finance.
