Making Predictions for 2024 MLB Season and Impact on Card Values of Key Players With Help From Ex-Pro Baseball Players Chris Begg and Jason Willow; Making Some Hobby Hot Takes
Cards To The MoonAbout this episode
EPISODE 202 - Clark and Hyung welcome the hosts of The Oppotaco Podcast Chris Begg and Jason Willow – both former pro-baseball players as well as card collectors – to help kick off MLB Opening Day. Off the top, they discuss the latest on the Shohei Ohtani's interpreter gambling controversy and monitor whether prices have dropped on Ohtani cards listed by panic sellers. Then for Hobby Headlines, Begg and Willow share some of their MLB predictions including MVP picks, home run leaders, and Cy Young candidates. Then they all discuss whether any of those players are worth buying to invest in or to just collect as a card for the PC. They also go over the top 6 prospects/rookies this season and go over the value of some of their rookie cards to see if they'd buy, sell, or hold. Next, they bring back the segment "Hobby Hot Takes" and make some bold statements and predictions for the upcoming season (ie. Wyatt Langford is a bust this season; Ronald Acuna Jr. becomes the first player to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases.) Lastly, as usual, they play their weekly segment "Pick 1" with the guest hosts putting up two cards this time and everyone debating which they'd rather invest in. -------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!
