Examining Drop in Card Prices Over Past Year and Identifying Potential Buying Opportunites; Victor Wembanyama First Autograph Card Worth The Hype?; Playing the Hobby Quiz Show
Cards To The MoonAbout this episode
EPISODE 133 - Clark, Hyung, and John start the show discussing the recent news that Victor Wembanyama will have his first autograph card in the Bowman University Inception set (as well as NCAA Women's tourney standout Caitlin Clark). The question is, "Will this 'Wemby' card carry significant value being the first autograph card or will the hype down down as more of his autos (in pro-uniform) come onto the market? Then the guys get into Hobby Headlines by looking at the CardLadder index across the four major North American sports and seeing which sport has lost the most market value (year over year) and which sport might there be good buying opportunities to buy sports cards at the dip. Clark then introduces another new segment called "Quiz Show," where Clark asks Hyung and John hobby trivia questions to test their hobby knowledge. Some questions include "When was the first superfractor produced?" and "Which three #1 MLB draft picks had one of their cards sell for at least six figures. Then they finish the episode off with the regular "Pick One" segment where each host names two cards or sets, and then debate which one they would rather invest in. The pairs chosen this week include one listener submission (Shohei Ohtani/Mike Trout Dual Autograph Bowman's Best card vs. Mickey Mantle PSA 2 vintage baseball card; Leon Draisaitl vs. Auston Matthews; Julio Rodriguez Bowman Prospect Autograph Atomic Refractor /100 card vs. Julio Rodriguez Bowman Prospect Autograph Blue Refractor (color match.)
