    Ep27: Our First Video Podcast: Mike’s "Brad Pitt" Moment & The $2,500 Vintage Card Robbery

    Welcome back to Wicked Good Pulls! We are beyond excited to announce that Episode 27 is our very first video podcast! Now you can finally watch Matt, Mike, and Joe as we debate card prices, show off our latest pickups, and roll our eyes at each other in real-time. We kick off this milestone episode with Mike getting recognized by a fan at Boston Logan Airport—a true "Brad Pitt" moment—before detailing his hilariously awkward attempt at the Disney character "hug test." On the hobby side, Matt breaks down how he successfully unloaded bulk common cards for cash on Facebook Marketplace (thanks to his wife clearing space) and reveals his massive $2,500 comp on a vintage 1952/1954 Babe Ruth era lot. Finally, we debate the best long-term holds in the hobby right now, comparing the safety of a PSA 10 Shohei Ohtani to the risk of Victor Wembanyama. Whether you’re listening in the car or watching us on Spotify, thank you for tuning in to the WGP family! In This Episode Mike's Airport Fame & The Disney Hug Test: Mike shares his brush with A-list celebrity status after a WGP listener from South Florida recognizes him at the airport. Plus, he finally tests the "Disney characters can't let go first" rule on Goofy—and immediately regrets it. Flipping Bulk Cards on Facebook Marketplace: Need to clear storage space? Matt explains how he sold boxes of common base cards on local marketplaces for solid cash without paying seller fees. The $2,500 Vintage Set & Long-Term Holds: Matt comps out his $25 vintage lot robbery to a massive $2,500 valuation. We debate what to do with the profits and why investing in a Shohei Ohtani rookie feels safer than buying high on Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or Wemby. Topps Resurgence & Fantasy Football by Card Value: Joe reviews the new Topps Resurgence NFL release and pitches a wild idea: drafting a fantasy football team based entirely on sports card market values. Wickedest Pull of the Week: Now you can actually see the cards! Mike shows off a BGS 10 2009-2010 Upper Deck MJ Legacy Collection Gold Edition, while Matt brings a shiny 2023 Topps Chrome Stars of the MLB Shohei Ohtani.

Pricing Strategy for New Streamers: Learn why new sellers should not start their card auctions at a single dollar. Derek advises looking at inventory closely and starting bids at two dollars for lower-end cards, while saving high-end cards for safer sales.

    Ep25: The DLava Whatnot Growth Code, Panini’s Unlicensed Donruss, and Kurt’s Card Care Controversy

    The brotherly banter is hitting a whole new level of chaos in Episode 25! This week, the crew kicks things off with a highly judgmental review of Matt's tragic 4th of July neck beard. From looking like a white-chinned Hulk Hogan to his kids begging him to shave it immediately, Matt faces the ultimate facial hair intervention. Next, the guys dive into the ultimate Whatnot masterclass. Matt spent the night modding for Whatnot superstar DLava (Dee lava), who grew from 0 to over 13,000+ followers in under a year. Matt shares the secrets of live-stream moderation, creating chat banter, and how he walked away with over 100 new followers just by hanging out in the stream. The guys break down DLava's community-driven giveaway strategy and discuss whether he should officially launch a Whatnot streaming course. Over in the card-ripping segment, the guys rip NBA Donruss mega boxes from Dick's Sporting Goods. This marks their first rip of a Panini basketball product since the company lost its NBA license to Topps. They discuss the strange, logo-less look of airbrushed jerseys and break down how the licensing split works between the NBA team owners (held by Topps) and the Players Union (held by Panini). This leads to a fascinating debate on the legality of custom art cards (like "My First Rodeo" and "Iron Mike") and whether using player likenesses on custom business cards is legal. Then, they tackle the hottest controversy in the hobby: Kurt’s Card Care. With PSA recently rejecting one of Kurt's cards as "altered" after he submerged it in a restoration spray, the brothers debate where "cleaning" ends and "altering" begins. Matt reviews his own experience using the card care starter kit on a 1975 Bobby Bonds and a 1979 Fred Lynn, sharing the realistic limits of flattening corners and creases. Finally, the show wraps up with a hilarious movie review shutdown after Mike's wife officially declares his movie takes "super boring". Then, we crown the Wickedest Pull of the Week: Matt’s 2025 Topps Chrome Rob Dillingham Sapphire Selection goes head-to-head with Mike’s 9:30 PM emergency family-rip highlight—the highly coveted Topps Chrome Disney Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) from High School Musical!
