    The First 15 (Chris HOJ-Cast #32)

    This episode revolves around my recent pick up of the "Heart and Soul" Gold 1/1 of Michael Jordan—using this card as a springboard into discussing: (1) MJ's first fifteen 1/1s ever made, (2) the historic "Heart and Soul" 30-card set, (3) my recent public poll asking collectors to choose their favorite among four MJ 1/1s, (4) all 66 public sales of a 90s MJ 1/1 since 2004, and (5) the first week of activity surrounding the live auction of MJ's Platinum 1/1 from 1997-98 Ultra.

    Valuing Michael Jordan 1/1s (Chris HOJ-Cast #31)

    This episode has three parts.  First, a registry of the 72 first MJ 1/1s is introduced—identifying the 37 cards that are publicly owned, the 21 that are privately owned, and the 14 that have yet to surface.  Second is an exercise in 1/1 valuation methods, specifically towards estimating a price for the two Ultra 1/1 masterpieces coming to auction soon.  Third, the concept of a "hobby Rorschach test" is floated, considering how the same card can appear quite differently to us at various points along our collecting evolutions.

    At A Collecting Crossroads (Chris HOJ-Cast #30)

    This episode has 3 parts.  First is a discussion sparked by the recent Flawless 1/1 Jokic sale.  Second is introspection around whether to pursue a very special Michael Jordan 1/1 that is coming to auction soon.  And the final segment is a recap of Christian McCaffrey's legacy-enhancing 2025 season.

    Pickups of 2025 (Chris HOJ-Cast #29)

    This episode has four parts.  The first contrasts two styles of sharing cards: (1) the yearly pickup recap and (2) the "card tree."  The second section discusses my recap of eight cards added in 2025.  The third segment investigates to what extent a card is a reflection of its owner versus a reflection of itself.  And the fourth part shares a viral tweet on how Van Gogh's paintings rose to prominence.

    Storytelling Approaches (Chris HOJ-Cast #28)

    This episode has two major segments.  First, a new Jokic 1/1 is revealed, which is then used as a case study for contrasting a human-based presentation of its properties versus an artificial intelligence description.  Second, two styles of understanding a card are contrasted: (A) the personal, narrative-driven recap, and (B) the communal/objective entry, rooted in facts about things like history and rarity.

    Reviewing the PC Players (Chris HOJ-Cast #27)

    This episode has three parts: (1) a review of my PC players, plus some commentary on how I'm currently collecting each, and which cards I'm looking for next, (2) meditations on the idea of evolving as a collector from the "aesthetic" state to the "conceptual" state, and (3) an analysis of my most recent social media post of Jokic's first game-worn logoman autograph from Immaculate.

    Classification Science (Chris HOJ-Cast #25)

    This episode has four parts.  The first poses the question: what is the most misunderstood card in your collection?  Second is a discussion of "commemorative" cards—culminating in the reveal of a recent MJ pickup.  The third section analyzes historical Q4 price trends through the lens of the CL50.  And the fourth offers some quick thoughts on the NBA's recent GM survey.
