Tips and Tricks When Trying to Make Sports Card Trades; Marketplaces for Cards Too Fragmented?; Overrated/Underrated Game with Specific Grades (PSA 10, BGS 9.5, SGC 10)
Cards To The MoonAbout this episode
EPISODE 127 - Clark, Hyung, and Will (who filled in for John again this episode) kick off the show, responding to Josh Luber's recent take that there are too many buying and selling platforms currently out there and a consolidation is needed to create true liquidity and true markets in sports cards with the majority of bidders being able to bid in one place (ie. the equivalent of a main stock exchange.) They discuss whether the marketplace for cards being too fragmented is really a bad thing or just another opportunity to find good deals. Then in Hobby Headlines, the guys talk about the "art of the trade." More specifically, they give tips from past experience on how to make good and successful trades as well as what to expect when trying to make trades, especially at live card shows. The next segment is Overrated/Underrated with Clark giving both Hyung and Will a specific grade (ie. PSA 10, BGS 9.5 True Gem, SGC 10) and trying to determine whether that grade is overrated or underrated. Lastly, they finish the show 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: Zion Williamson Prizm Base Rookie vs. Juan Soto Topps Flagship Rookie; Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Silver Prizm PSA 10 ($550) vs. Luka Doncic Silver Prizm PSA 10 ($1600); Wander Franco Atomic Refractor Bowman Chrome vs. Wander Franco 2022 Topps Chrome Sapphire (PSA 10 for $500) vs Wander Franco 2019 Bowman Chrome Atomic 1st (PSA 10). -------------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!
