Description

EPISODE 52 - Clark, Hyung and John start the show with their thoughts on the recent sale of the Wander Franco 2022 Topps Series 1 Platinum one-of-one card, and the fact that it was found in a pack sold at Walgreens.
The guys then discuss things that only make sense in the hobby, which they call "Hobby Logic" and try to make sense of it. For instance, why do the non-numbered Silver Prizm cards still sell for more than a numbered, more rare parallel of the same card? Or why do PSA 9 "Mint" condition cards sell for the same cost as a raw card (and sometimes less). Or why are some parallel cards like the Orange Wave which is numbered to 25 significantly less valuable than a True Orange Refractor also numbered to 25. 
They also play "Match Game" again this week where they tried to decide which of the three cards or sets they would buy, sell, or hold without repeating any of the categories. The first example was deciding where to slot the following three choices: Precious Metal Gem (PMG) cards vs. Color Blast cards vs. Kaboom inserts.
Lastly, the guys get into their weekly Pick One segment (the Hot Takes edition) with each of them presenting two hobby hot takes and then deciding which one is more likely to happen. The pairs this week include: Paper Parallel Cards vs. Chrome Parallel Cards; There will be no ROI in Luka Doncic cards within 12 months vs. There will be no ROI in Juan Soto cards; and Lebron James Topps Chrome Rookie Card (PSA 10) will sell for sub $5K vs. Michael Jordan Fleer Rookie Card (PSA 9) will sell for less than $20K.
