For this month, we want to know what your hobby hot take is! Email us at hello@fivecardguys.com or DM us on IG @fivecardguys . We'll give away a couple of Topps Now cards (Ohtani 50/50 and Messi/Curry Night Night) to two randomly selected people who gives us their hot take! Clark and Hyung open the show talking about 2024 Topps Chrome Update baseball and whether it's the best baseball card set released this year (with its MLB Debut Patch rookie checklist plus Home Field Advantage on chromium stock for the first time ever.) Then they move on to "Hobby Headlines" where they dive deep into the issue of the hobby becoming more and more expensive. Are breakers to blame? Will limiting the amount of breaking even fix the affordability problem or will it just cause other issues like making card stores financially unsustainable? Next, the guys play Over/Under where Clark provides a list of four cards and Hyung guesses whether the last sold price is over or under the dollar amount Clark provides. Lastly, they play their regular weekly scheduled game called "Pick 1" where they each put up two cards and then debate which one they'd rather invest in. -------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!
