Discussing Topps MVP Buyback Program and SGC Grading 2022 Bowman Chrome Cards for $9; Making World Cup Predictions; Playing "Quiz Show" and Guessing Current Hobby Trends
Cards To The MoonAbout this episode
EPISODE 98 - Clark, Hyung, and John make their World Cup predictions off the top of the show, and they discuss which players in the tournament might have seen a bump in their card values due to their performance at the World Cup. Then in this week's Hobby Headlines, the guys react to two of the major hobby announcements made recently, which include: the Topps MVP Buyback Program that gives collectors a chance to redeem store credit at their local card shop if they find either an Aaron Judge or Paul Goldschmidt baseball card from the 2022 Topps Chrome set. The other announcement was the partnership between SGC and Topps where any card from the 2022 Bowman Chrome baseball set could be graded by SGC for $9 US regardless of declared value and without a minimum number of cards to be submitted. Then Clark, Hyung and John play "Quiz Show" – a new segment in which Clark asks a question about current hobby trends (ie. Which of the four major sports has seen the biggest decrease/increase in card value according to the CardLadder index?) and Hyung and John try to answer correctly. Finally, 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: Pete Rose 1963 Rookie Card vs. Barry Bond 1986 Tiffany Rookie Cards; Juan Soto Bowman Chrome Refractor Rookie Autograph Card /499 (BGS 9.5) vs. Juan Soto Bowman Chrome Rookie Autograph Base Card (PSA 10); Erling Haaland 2019 Topps Finest UCL Refractor (PSA 10) vs Kylian Mbappe 2017 Topps Chrome Refractor (PSA 10). -------------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!
