About this episode
EPISODE 94 - Clark, John, and Will take another stab at guessing the final sale price of another super high-end card – This time it's the Luka Doncic 1/1 Logoman that was up for auction on PWCC . They discuss whether getting it less than $4.6 million (which is what it sold for in March 2021) is a good deal or if it's crazy to buy high-end cards in this bear market. Then in this week's Hobby Headlines, the guys talk about set collecting on a budget as a way to have fun in the hobby more as a collector than an investor (especially with current investments in sports cards being more risky during the bear market.) Some ideas of what fellow collectors could try to build a set in while some of the card prices are low include: insert card sets from the junk wax era for those who are nostalgic about the hobby; non-rookie patch autograph cards of players from your home country (ie. Canadian basketball players); and second- or third-year cards of stud players. The guys then get into a new segment called, "Worth A Flyer," where they suggest a couple of players and cards that seem to be dirt cheap right now that might be worth gambling on to see a nice return in the future. But they stipulate it might also go down to zero, which they would be okay with since it's not a big investment to begin with. Lastly, as usual, the show ends 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: Nikita Kucherov Young Guns rookie card vs. Steven Stamkos Young Guns rookie card both valued at $420; Trevor Lawrence vs. Justin Fields and Mac Jones and Zach Wilson; Mookie Betts Red Hot Foil Topps Update rookie card (BGS 9.5) for $400 vs. Mookie Betts Gold Topps Update rookie card /2014 (BGS 9.5) for $1080. -------------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!
