    A £1,200 Messi on Her First Ever Card Show | Dan, Midas Breaks | 3rd Down Pulled

    This week, Ben is joined at London Card Show by Dan, the self-proclaimed better half of Midas Breaks. Dan talks about the stage auction that went a bit off-script, what it's like being on the other side of the bidding, and the big stream with former Spurs player Jamie O'Hara. He explains why famous guests love the hobby as much as the rest of us, and tells the story of a young collector from Bermuda at her very first card show who pulled a £1,200 Messi auto on stage, and the lovely message her mum sent afterwards. He also opens up about his Zola PC, his new collection of any card numbered 21, why the best cards are the ones with a story behind them, and how watching 3rd Down grow over five years shows what hard work and consistency can do in the hobby.

    Is It Getting Harder to Make Money Flipping Cards? James, Gorilla Breaks | 3rd Down Pulled

    This week, Ben sits down at London Card Show with James from Gorilla Breaks, one of the hardest-working people in the UK hobby. James started out selling football shirts, found cards on eBay and was buying and flipping by 16, at one point sitting on 28 row boxes of singles while still at college. He's never had a "proper job" since. He talks about trying to explain what he does to older relatives, the early days of the UK scene, the charity stream with Ben, and his personal collection of Callum Wilson and niche United cards. He also shares his advice for your first show (walk round first, then buy), why he thinks making money in the hobby is getting harder with so many sets and so many sellers, why he'd start on Whatnot with £1 auctions to build a community, and the worst pickup of his life: a Garnacho 1/1 Superfractor auto that had offers of 15 grand and ended up selling for 1.5.

    One Box of Cards Started It All: Holland, Baseball Island | 3rd Down Pulled

    This week, Ben sits down with Holland from Baseball Island at London Card Show. Holland's collecting started with a single box of 1990 Topps under the tree on Christmas morning, which led to Little League, college baseball and a lifelong love of the stats behind the game. He explains why baseball is the most analytical sport to collect, how the London Series grew the UK baseball group from 800 to 3,000 people almost overnight, and why breaking is the way into the hobby for collectors chasing teams like Forest. He also talks about running his collection out of a one-bed flat in Islington, collecting image variations rather than teams, playing college ball with Paul Goldschmidt, a big deal that came down to a coin flip with his wife's lucky penny, and his plan to grow Baseball Island into an American sports archipelago. Plus his tips for your first card show: it's a marathon, not a sprint.

He also explains why collectibles of every kind cross over at a show like this, from Pokémon and NFL to Dragon Ball. Poki Dean shares his advice for anyone thinking about making content ("what's the worst that can happen?"), how he went from a FIFA channel in 2015 to Pokémon, why he brought in an editor, and what it's really like opening and running a card shop, with the aim of making it a hub for the community.

    Is the Disney Card Market Too Hot? Coby, Edition One | 3rd Down Pulled

    This week, Ben sits down with Coby from Edition One at the end of a busy London Card Show, fresh from seven cities in four weeks. Coby explains why the Dallas Card Show is his favourite in the world, how Edition One grew out of years of collecting far more than sports cards (comics, rare books, VHS and anything that matters to him), and why he thinks the modern Disney market is running too hot while true vintage is undervalued. He shares his theory on vintage Simpsons ahead of the new film, the true Snoopy rookie, and why vintage baseball can't be comped like modern cards. He also talks about vending on the ground floor at The National, kids at US shows with jaw-dropping collections, an Invincible first issue someone drove three hours from Wales to deliver, balancing family life with travelling three times a month, and his advice for anyone walking into their first card show: go slowly, buy what you like, and learn before you buy.

    Do Card Vendors Need Content Now? Phil, Stateside Sports | 3rd Down Pulled

    This week, Ben catches up with Phil from Stateside Sports at the end of a long, hot weekend at London Card Show. Phil talks about getting his wife into women's football cards (and how it's now doubled the spending), Stateside doing singles at a show for the first time, and the haggling that comes with it: one more card in, one card out, cash or no cash, until you've lost track completely. He also explains why Stateside's laid-back approach works for them, what's next for the stand, and why he thinks content and cards can't be separated any more if you want to grow in the hobby. Follow Phil on Instagram @stateside_phil and Stateside Sports @statesidesportscards Chapters 00:00 Getting the wife into women's cards 01:00 Doing singles for the first time 01:22 "If anyone wants to rob me, just do that" 02:16 Laid-back and easy to deal with 02:44 Branding and a tablecloth next 03:16 Getting the team on camera 04:12 Why content and cards go together now 04:50 Wrap-up Follow us on Instagram @3rddownuk for more from the UK hobby.

    Do Card Show Vendors Really Make Loads of Money? Charlie, Aces Sports Cards | 3rd Down Pulled

    This week, Ben is joined live at London Card Show by Charlie from Aces Sports Cards, a seasoned vendor and a familiar face in our content. Charlie takes us through how he gets ready for a big show: hours in a waiting room just to get a table, then six to eight weeks of buying stock he won't sell anywhere but at the show. He explains why he steers clear of the trends and goes for the GOATs, why an old Big Man on Court insert is worth having on the table even if it doesn't sell straight away, and what's happening with Wembanyama, Zion and Yamal. He also gets honest about the side people don't see: pricing until 2am the night before, sourcing cards from America into the early hours, and the myth that vendors are making loads of money. Plus how his first table at London started with cards from breaks, his tips for anyone thinking about vending for the first time, and the oddest corner of his PC.
