    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.

    Known Unknowns (Chris HOJ-Cast #24)

    This episode has 3 sections.  The first investigates how "known unknowns" induced a bout of collecting paralysis—and how I plan to prevent it from happening again.  The second tells the story of a "One of a Kind" Michael Jordan 1/1 from the inaugural Master Collection product of 1999-00.  And the third analyzes the current sports card market—through the lens of Michael Jordan cards—using a variety of metrics and theories.

    Michael Jordan's Rarest Cards (Chris HOJ-Cast #23)

    This episode opens with a segment on what "utopia" might teach us about card collecting.  The next segment investigates how ownership of a card triggers a learning process.  The third segment introduces the "90s MJ 1/1" taxonomy.  The fourth is a review of my recent social media post of the PowerDeck 1/1.  Fifth is a spotlight on cautionary episodes issued by @TheHobbyWithCage and @TheReal27Guy, followed by my own retelling of the market for a card that went on a bull run back in 2020/21.  Finally, some NFL stats that reflect favorably on two of my PC players are recited.

    An Antidote To The Bull Market (Chris HOJ-Cast #22)

    This episode has three segments: 1) September supply increases and how they might counteract runaway prices in this bull market, 2) a deep dive into storytelling about sports cards, and 3) does the "better player hypothesis" predict that Duncan prices should be higher than Kobe, or does it actually predict the opposite?

    The Goal of Collecting (Chris HOJ-Cast #21)

    This episode puts forth 12 segments.  Several of the highlights include: a thought experiment designed to figure out the goal of collecting, reflections on successful market predictions in a bull market, and photo-matching a recent pickup.
