Smashing BIN: Kurt Warner, BIN Decisions, and the 2002 Finest Gold with Alex (@leatherhelmetcards)

In this episode of Smashing BIN , I’m joined by Alex (@leatherhelmetcards) to talk about his BIN smash of the 2002 Finest Kurt Warner Gold Refractor /25 PSA 10. This isn’t just a card—it was a turning point. We dig into how this card helped reshape Alex’s entire approach to collecting, the emotional tug of picking between Gold and Xfractor, and how the concept of a “capital pool” helped him make it happen. We also talk: The confusing but rewarding Kurt Warner catalog What makes 2002 Finest such a beloved set Why Bret Hart is the Raptors of wrestling And how navigating gold parallels today feels like getting over a breakup By the end, you’ll hear how this story came full circle in the best possible way.
