Send us a text Our Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/HockeyCardsGongshow On this episode of the Hockey Cards Gongshow podcast we start with Get To Know Your Hockey Hall of Famers, this time looking at the life, hockey career, and hobby market for hockey hall of famer, Ed Giacomin who sadly passed way this week. Rest easy Ed (23:07). We continue our 2025-26 Hobby Preview Series by looking at a number of recent hobby prospects and give our opinions if they should be considered "hobby busts" or still deserve more time to develop (33:59). In hobby news, collectible NFT's are booming again....bad sign? And, Matthew Tkachuk won't make his 2025-26 debut for a few months (1:15:44). Justin & Carter from the Saskatoon Card & Collector Experience join the show for the final time before their card show debuts on October 4th and 5th to talk about the million final details and reflect on what the past year building a card show has been like (1:30:10). 2024-25 Stature is now out, Gongshow resident wax degenerate California Dave joins the show to give his instant reactions as he's already many boxes in (2:08:41). As always, we end the show with personal pickups (2:34:38).
