לפני 4 hours1:07:37

1:07:37

Welcome to the first episode of The Football Card Podcast — a new weekly show hosted by Pack Nicholson (@packnicholson) and powered by Stacking Slabs. This episode sets the tone for everything to come. We’re talking football cards, collecting strategy, eBay negotiation tactics, player nostalgia, and why certain sets (like 2002 Finest and 2010 Topps Chrome) hit harder than others. Pack and Brett each break down recent pickups — including an Eddie George memorabilia refractor, a Matt Forte gold, and an Andre Johnson Colts gold vinyl — and discuss what they’re building and why. They cover the psychology behind card buying, the emotional rollercoaster of NFL fandom, and how running backs are quietly carrying the culture. If you’re into football, football cards, or finding new ways to enjoy the hobby, this one’s for you. Follow The Football Card Podcast on Instagram for memes and stuff .

44:42

In this episode of Smashing BIN , I’m joined by Alex (@leatherhelmetcards) to talk about his BIN smash of the 2002 Finest Kurt Warner Gold Refractor /25 PSA 10. This isn’t just a card—it was a turning point. We dig into how this card helped reshape Alex’s entire approach to collecting, the emotional tug of picking between Gold and Xfractor, and how the concept of a “capital pool” helped him make it happen. We also talk: The confusing but rewarding Kurt Warner catalog What makes 2002 Finest such a beloved set Why Bret Hart is the Raptors of wrestling And how navigating gold parallels today feels like getting over a breakup By the end, you’ll hear how this story came full circle in the best possible way.

Conversations Are Currency: Why Talking Cards Leads to Landing Cards 21:14

לפני יומיים21:14

21:14

Most collectors spend their days refreshing save searches and chasing listings. But some of the best cards? They never hit the market. In this episode, Brett shares two recent pickups—both landed without a public listing and made possible through one thing: conversation. These deals weren’t about luck. They were the result of trust, timing, and building real relationships in the hobby. If you're tired of missing out or feeling stuck in your routine, this episode is your reminder that the best deals often come from the quiet places—the DMs, the group chats, and the unexpected texts from fellow collectors. This one’s about playing the long game and understanding why the best cards in your collection might not come from eBay… but from a conversation you start today.

The WNBA Card Podcast #11: What It Takes to Break Through 1:05:19

לפני 6 ימים1:05:19

1:05:19

This week on The WNBA Card Podcast , we ask the big question: what will it take for another WNBA player—not named Caitlin Clark—to break through to collectors outside the space? Brett and Katelyn explore the current dynamics shaping the W card market, discuss how narrative and rhetoric shape demand, and spotlight why players like Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart deserve more hobby attention. We get into: Why comparing Clark to Curry helps collectors connect How Sabrina Ionescu’s market is impacted by expectations Why Stewie is the most undervalued winner in the hobby What the $274K Black Finite sale tells us about parallel preferences The future of college cards and whether they can rival pro releases We also share our weekly pickups, celebrate a collector on the rise, and round it out with some buzzer beater questions—including Brett’s all-time Notre Dame starting five. This is the Caitlin Clark episode... but it’s also a reminder that the WNBA has depth, stories, and stars worth your collecting attention.

Three Trips, One Grail: Jonah’s Journey for the Josh Gibson with Jonah (@jd9cards) 38:15

What would it take for you to leave the country to get a card? For Jonah (@jd9cards), the answer was three trips to Puerto Rico and years of research for a card most collectors will never see in person: the Josh Gibson from the 1950–51 Toleteros set. At 25, Jonah isn’t your typical vintage collector. He’s building a collection rooted in history, rarity, and significance—tracking down Negro League legends, studying card photography, and connecting with sellers who want their stories carried forward. This episode is about more than a transaction. It’s about patience, trust, and collecting with purpose. You’ll walk away thinking differently about what matters in your collection.

When Rookie Cards Aren’t the Best Cards: The Haliburton Hypothesis 19:04

לפני 9 ימים19:04

19:04

We’re told rookie cards matter most. But what happens when a player writes their legacy wearing a different uniform? In this episode, I take a personal and collector-first look at why Tyrese Haliburton’s Pacers cards might matter more than his Kings rookies. This isn’t about ignoring the rookie card—it’s about questioning hobby programming, thinking independently, and considering what actually connects you to a card. I share the real-time perspective of being a fan during the most meaningful Pacers run of my life and how that clarity has reshaped the way I see Haliburton’s card catalog. You’ll hear about: What cards are available and which ones aren’t The difference between collector-controlled and commodity cards Why emotional connection matters more than labels How this applies beyond Haliburton It’s not a take—it’s a question. What if the best card isn’t the first one? This episode is for anyone looking to find ways to land cards with collectors through trust.
