Are Sports Card Shows Benefitting From Pokemon Card Explosion?; Tips For Any New Vendors Setting Up At Big Card Shows; Things We Should "Just Hate" In The Hobby
Cards To The MoonAbout this episode
EPISODE 291 - Clark welcomes back Will and Roy who start the show by sharing their experience setting up as a vendor at the Sports Card Expo in Toronto, which is the largest card show in Canada. Roy, in particular, shares what he's learned from setting up at smaller shows vs bigger shows and gives advice to any new vendors when trying to sell their cards. Then for Hobby Headlines, they go over The Athletic article titled "How sports card shows are benefitting from the explosion in demand for Pokémon cards" and whether they agree with some of the points highlighted in the story. That includes how much sports card shows are benefitting from the Pokemon explosion, are they filling in the void left by vintage sports card dealers, and if the Pokemon hobby space is like the sports card boom during the COVID era. Then the guys participate in a new segment called "Just Hate" calling out things in the hobby that collectors should just hate (all in good fun of course) before ending the show with the pod's regular weekly segment called "Pick 1."
