Fanatics Events a Threat to The National or Other Card Shows?; The Good and Bad of Fanatics Live Launch; Second-tier Sets Overrated or Underrated?

EPISODE 146 - Clark, Hyung, and John open the show talking about the launch of Fanatics Live during the MLB All-Star break including what they liked about it and what can be improved at this early stage. Then in Hobby Headlines, sticking with Fanatics news, they dive deeper into the big announcement of Fanatics Events (and how they predicted it earlier this year on the podcast!) Will this mean the end of the The National and other card shows? What can Fanatics do to improve the overall experience of card shows moving forward? Then they play a round of Overrated/Underrated where the theme for this segment is on second-tier sets (ie. Bowman Sterling, Donruss Optic). Finally, the guys end off the show with the regular weekly Pick 1 segment where each of them put up two cards and they debate which one they would invest in. The Pick 1 pairs this week include: Elly De La Cruz vs. Jackson Holliday; Which is more beneficial for the growth of the hobby: Better products of better experience?; Mookie Betts 2014 Bowman Chrome Blue Refractor /150 vs. Mookie Betts 2014 Bowman Chrome Black Refractor /99 (both BGS 9.5/10 going for $2700). -------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!
