    I Almost Bought the Babe Ruth + Are Comps Overrated? + The “Hobby Fraud” Backlash

    Jeremy Lee is joined by David Chase and Joshua Adams for another episode of The Hangover, exclusive Sports Cards Live content on the Sports Card Clubhouse Network.Jeremy relives the emotional roller coaster of almost spending $18,000 on a Babe Ruth card, from convincing himself not to bid, to bidding, thinking he'd won it, getting outbid and then deciding whether to go back for more. It leads to a deeper conversation about bidding psychology, knowing when to walk away and why some cards justify throwing the plan out the window while others don't.Then the guys tackle the hobby's dependence on comps. How useful is a comp when countless transactions happen privately, at card shows and across social media where the sales never enter the public data? Have collectors become so dependent on Card Ladder, eBay and other public sales data that they've outsourced their own critical thinking? And how do you price a rare card when there simply isn't a recent comp?They also debate dealers who don't price their cards, cards displayed at shows that aren't actually for sale, and whether putting a huge price on a PC card is better or worse than simply marking it NFS.Finally, Jeremy revisits the viral “hobby fraud” clip that generated tens of thousands of views and a flood of criticism. What did he actually mean? Is cracking and resubmitting a card unethical? No. But if a buyer directly asks about a card's grading history, does the seller have an obligation to tell the truth? Jeremy explains where the clip lost the context of the original conversation, what he would have said differently and why constructive pushback is one of the best parts of putting opinions out into the hobby.The Hangover is exclusive Sports Cards Live content on the Sports Card Clubhouse Network.Subscribe to the Sports Card Clubhouse on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.Subscribe to Sports Cards Live on YouTube for weekly hobby conversations, interviews and live shows.Follow Jeremy on Instagram: @jlee_sportscardsliveFollow David on Instagram: @davidchasecardsFollow Josh on Instagram: @midwestvintagecardsLike, comment and subscribe, and let us know where you stand on the topics discussed in this episode.
