Rundown of Hobby News Items (ie. Fanatics Signing EPL Deal; $2 Million Worth of Vintage Cards Stolen; Pete Rose Retrofractor Autograph Cards); Is $3,000 Victor Wembanyama Topps Now Card a Good Deal?
EPISODE 211 - Clark and Hyung start the show by discussing the Victor Wembanyama Topps Now card sold for $3,000 each for at least a black parallel /99 on-card autograph with a chance of hitting a 1/1 gold autograph with a special "Rookie of the Year" inscription. Is it worth the chase and is this the future direction of Topps Now cards?
Then for Hobby Headlines, the guys give their first take on several recent hobby news items including the Fanatics' deal with the English Premier League to produce licensed soccer cards in 2025, the $2 million worth of vintage cards stolen at an Ohio hotel, and the Pete Rose retrofractor autograph cards in 2024 Bowman.
Then Clark plays Over/Under with Hyung to see if he can guess the price of some of the hits in 2024 Bowman baseball set sold recently.
Lastly, Clark and John wrap up the show with their weekly segment "Pick 1" where the hosts put up two cards and then debate which they'd rather invest in.

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.
