21
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.400
Part two with our great guest Joe Hollywood, hailing from

22
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.879
New York City, like myself, got to know them a

23
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.120
little bit better after talking to him and really had

24
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.680
a great conversation with him. Was you know, learned a

25
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.319
lot about them and likewise and really glad I had

26
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.480
them on from not really knowing them much of them

27
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.200
or just hearing about them. You know, we always sort

28
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.959
of draw conclusions about people without really knowing them, right.

29
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.879
I'm not saying it's fair or right, but we do

30
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.319
that as humans. And I got to know him a

31
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.879
little bit better and really really down the nice guy,

32
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.159
and uh, you know, really appreciated uh getting to know him.

33
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.479
And this will be the second half of that conversation.

34
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.639
So uh, hope you enjoy it, as I always say,

35
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.240
as much as I enjoy doing them. Uh. So we'll

36
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.800
try to keep this intro as shorter as we can. Uh.

37
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.719
And so with that being said, again, listen for that

38
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:31.680
contest announcement sometime during the episode, and let's start the

39
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.759
show part two with Joe Hollywood. Now, you've you worked

40
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.039
on Wall Street and now obviously you're in the hobby, uh,

41
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.120
in a in a big way. A lot of people

42
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.400
like to compare those two Niches, you know, Wall Street

43
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.599
to the Hobby. As someone who's wore both of those hats,

44
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.080
I'll ask you, Joe, like, is that fair to draw comparisons?

45
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.879
Not fair similarities? Differences? Like when when you hear that,

46
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.599
I'm sure you have you know, how do you, as

47
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.080
someone who's who who's war again wore both of those hats?

48
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.319
You know, how do you feel when you hear that?

49
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.439
I think a lot of people make that comparison because

50
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.120
you know, value of the cards go up and down, right,

51
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.400
And the first thing that you associate that with is

52
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.840
is Wall Street? You associate with, you know, things that

53
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.159
trade every single day, they go up and down. I

54
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.680
will tell you though, the card market, the volatility on

55
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.240
some of these cards is just absolutely But with that said,

56
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.560
I mean some of these cards that they're coming out

57
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.400
with are just absolutely And I have to say Tops

58
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.800
has done a very very good job of making some

59
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.439
very high quality product and one of them that I think,

60
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.080
I don't know what you think about it, but I

61
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:42.719
think they did a very good job with and I

62
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:47.159
will say I'm also very excited about TOPS Chrome update

63
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.680
that's coming out for basketball. I think that's obvious eventually

64
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.000
for football, I think those are going to be just

65
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.879
unbelievable product. But taking a look at what they did,

66
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.479
the product that really stand out to me is how

67
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.400
they really transformed that Cosmic product, you know, with that

68
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.960
unlicensed product. Obviously they got the license for it and

69
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.400
they came out and the Cosmic product became one of

70
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.759
my most popular products that people love searching for planets

71
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.160
searching for some of these super fractors. We actually pulled

72
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.959
a super fractor from tops Cosmic Basketball and it was

73
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.680
Coper Flag, So we're really proud about that.

74
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:25.800
And so never heard of them.

75
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:27.000
Yeah, I'm sure.

76
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:27.759
I'm sure.

77
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.560
I mean how popular it would he become popularly to

78
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.920
that guy me, I mean, I mean thing about it,

79
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.439
and you know what the other kid, kan Ka Nipple

80
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.120
and Charlotte and then I got a good friendship with

81
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.519
Greg Williams who plays for the Hornets. I got to

82
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.000
tell you this guy con he really, I mean, he

83
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.600
set the three point record for a rookie. I think

84
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.120
this guy really might be the real deal. So I think,

85
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.839
you know, having a good rookie class. I mean Dylan

86
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:57.079
Harper edge Combe, I mean, from what we saw from

87
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.800
the twenty four class versus the twenty five class. I mean,

88
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.519
my got I mean it's almost it's almost night and day,

89
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.519
and I think we needed I think the hobby needs

90
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.800
those really really good classes. Now we're all hoping that

91
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.399
this next class is twenty sixth classes. You know it

92
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.279
is just as good, if not, you know, maybe even

93
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.839
slightly a little bit less, but more slightly even better.

94
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:17.639
You always want to have a good rookie class. And

95
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.879
the same thing for football, right, I mean, let's say,

96
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.720
let's see what happens, especially in Las Vegas. Now, I mean,

97
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.399
they got the number one pick, they got a strong

98
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.680
quarterback that's coming in there, and you know they also

99
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.360
sign a veteran quarterback to take over. And you know,

100
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.160
Kirk Cousins is no slouch. I know he didn't work

101
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.560
out for him in Atlanta, but you know he brought

102
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.399
Minnesota to the playoffs. He made the playoffs when he

103
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.000
was with Washington. I mean, the guy's not I wouldn't

104
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.959
say the journey in quarterback. I would say the guy's

105
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.240
a quality quarterback, and we'll see what happens. Obaby becomes

106
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.680
a good mentor. I would hope to think it's almost

107
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.600
like a almost like how Kurt Warner came to the

108
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.040
New York Giants. Do you remember when Kurt Warner came

109
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.480
to the Giants that he played that one year? It

110
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.600
was the same the year that Eli Manning was Eli

111
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.720
Manstrift here four and they had him start, you know,

112
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.959
six or eight games at him start, and then he

113
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.839
was kind of menentoring Eli around.

114
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:11.759
Along the way.

115
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:13.639
And then but the best part about that is and

116
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.199
he goes from there and he goes to Arizona, and

117
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.319
he goes to Arizona and he goes to a super Bowl.

118
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.680
They almost won that Super Bowl. They probably should have won.

119
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:27.000
That Super Bowl against.

120
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.240
Every every night I say it, thank you to James Harrison.

121
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:34.480
Remember ran that touchdown still the longest touchdown returning Super

122
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.360
Bowl history, over one hundred yards. Caught it like one

123
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.680
or two yards into the end zone, which had Arizona

124
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.439
scored there that game probably we're talking about in Arizona

125
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:49.040
and Kurt warrener Super Bowl. Harrison picked it off and somehow,

126
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.839
I mean he's not a small guy, big linebacker, just rumbles,

127
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.600
bumbles and stumbles the whole way. It looked like he

128
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.639
was going to be down at like to ten and

129
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.720
he's sort of like I want to say hurdle because

130
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.839
he have that big hut. But everyone, if you've seen

131
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.360
the game, he sort of just like side steps, half jumps,

132
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.600
stays on his feet, almost falls, Uh you know, teammate

133
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.639
sort of helps him, pushes him forward and somehow gets

134
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.879
in the end zone and literally ends the half that way.

135
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.560
And I just a momentum swing of that, and they

136
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.279
still almost lost. It took a Roethlisberger to San Antonio

137
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.079
Holmes point of the end zone touchdown to win the game.

138
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.720
So the Steelers almost tried to lose that in a

139
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.800
few different ways and just were saved by by some

140
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:39.000
plays made by some great players. But uh yeah, and

141
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.959
Kurt Wander. You know, some people argue he shouldn't be

142
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.839
in the Hall or should. I know, me and my

143
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.040
son have had that debate. My son doesn't think. But

144
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.079
anytime you win a super Bowl, and I just think

145
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.120
when you think of the story the guy was bagging

146
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:57.040
groceries at a supermarket and then becomes a Super Bowl

147
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.879
MVP and a run with the Season MVP, I think

148
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.560
there's something to be set about that. So I know

149
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.360
his career wasn't as long as some of these other

150
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:12.079
quarterback legends and Hall of Fame. But he's got hardware,

151
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:16.079
he's got a great backstory. It's a pretty humble guy too,

152
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.199
kind of a god fearing guy. So I think when

153
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:23.800
you put that all together, I get it. My son says, well,

154
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.519
just look at the stats and take the like, you know,

155
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.680
and I'm like, well, if you do that, but that's

156
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.240
really not how it's done, So you can't do it

157
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.000
like that. We could do a whole show on that.

158
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.799
You mentioned, you know, some Tops product. Again, we grew

159
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:40.960
up around the same time we grew up where there

160
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.600
was other things besides Tops, right.

161
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:47.600
Fleear Score and upper Deck came along in eighty.

162
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.039
Nine, and I'm not gonna lie, Joe, I sort of

163
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.120
missed those days where you had multiple licenses, you know,

164
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.480
as you mentioned Tops, and Fanatics now holds three of

165
00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.559
the four major licenses there.

166
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.000
Even as a low rumor going around.

167
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.200
That there maybe you will try to get the NHL

168
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.279
one two at some point or get it from upper

169
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:12.519
Deck somehow, do you I guess two Prome question One?

170
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.919
Do you miss Do you miss not having like.

171
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.200
Multiple choices for you know, for products like we used

172
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:23.159
to have, And if not, are you worried like my

173
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.759
fear always is with fanatics and tops, having three to

174
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.720
four the less competition, right, there's less drive to perform.

175
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.799
Like if you're in a race with four or five people,

176
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.000
you're going to motivate yourself to train hard to be

177
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.440
as fast as you can using a bad analogy, but

178
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:44.840
when you're sort of the only one in the race,

179
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.799
you sort of can rest on your laurels and maybe

180
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.159
not work as hard as someone who who saw all

181
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.000
those brands and now we don't really have them. You know,

182
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.840
how do you weigh in on the current state, you know,

183
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:57.759
the hobby.

184
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:58.200
With the license?

185
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.679
Yeah, I remember those brands. Are you a couple that

186
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:02.240
you didn't mention them in the genres?

187
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:02.639
Yeah?

188
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.600
Of course I remember sport Flix, remember sports Flex yep.

189
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.840
And when those came out, you remember that was like

190
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.679
people were like, wow, that's so cool, like it was

191
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.759
just a whole they ever really caught on in a

192
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.480
big way. But people thought they were cool. I thought

193
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:19.879
they were cool. I just I probably didn't buy a

194
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:20.480
ton of them.

195
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:21.039
I bought some.

196
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.399
But yeah, like you said, obviously don uh even some

197
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.360
lesser known company try to produce cards.

198
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:30.360
What's your take on where.

199
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.120
We are now with licensing compared to what we sort

200
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:33.919
of grew up with.

201
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:39.039
Yeah, So I think in regards to competition, I mean, look,

202
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.399
I don't think competition would hurt the would hurt them. However,

203
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.320
what I am afraid about is too much competition flooding

204
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.279
the market and then devaluing the cards. And that's what

205
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.519
we've seen before, That's what happened. And so I think

206
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.360
that this is their way of mitigating that. And so

207
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.360
for me, if it was another company wasn't Tops, then

208
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.320
I'd probably be a little read. I mean Panini, Look,

209
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.559
Panini did a great job with a flawless product. The

210
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.639
National just product, their immaculate product, and PEC couple products.

211
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.639
I mean, look, I'm a big fan. I'm a I'm

212
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.600
a huge fan of flawless. We ripped flawless. Nearly every

213
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.480
night that I go live, we're opening a flawless suitcase.

214
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:20.480
It's till till today. It's one of my favorite things

215
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:22.960
to open up. I mean, I realize every time we

216
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.559
open it up, I got a big smile on life,

217
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.440
and it's awesome. It's great products, right, and so I

218
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.840
think Tops is going to do a great job. I

219
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:33.399
was opening up Dynasty, opening up Baseball Dynasty and just

220
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.120
you know again, whoever every box we're hoping at show,

221
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.240
Hey o Tani, but look we you know, we pulled

222
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:42.360
an Aaron Judge out of five auto. That's something really special.

223
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:43.120
One oh one.

224
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.879
We're pulling even definitive. I mean, I know, I'm not

225
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.360
sure how much of definitive E. Definitive is a great product.

226
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.440
And this is all for baseball, and so it leads

227
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.679
me to get really excited of Okay, let's see how

228
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:57.919
basketball is, Let's see how football is. Let's see how

229
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.240
royalty becomes. Now that all of these product and that

230
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.720
license right, and so I do enjoy the breakers to

231
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.200
light product. I do enjoy the jumbo hobby product. Like

232
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.519
my goodness, I'm looking forward to those super high end

233
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.320
boxes because I think that's if we're seeing the good

234
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:17.000
value at a product like chrome and other products that

235
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.480
brought out. I cannot wait to see how those super

236
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.320
high end products do so well. We'll see how that works.

237
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.679
But I think if with another company besides Tops, I

238
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.440
would probably have a little bit more anxiousness. But I

239
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:32.200
think Tops is going to do a great job. This

240
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.639
isn't their first rodeo. You know, they've been around for

241
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.159
a long time, and I think that they do do

242
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.960
a great job with his understanding that I think they

243
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.759
do a very good job of understanding that, hey, this

244
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.200
is their moment, and if they do a really poor job,

245
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.000
we're in a society, then people are going to let

246
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.679
them know they're doing a poor job. And I'm not

247
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.639
sure that they can afford to do a bad job

248
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.480
at this point, right especially taking over those licenses from

249
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.799
Panini when they did, they have to do it bigger

250
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:00.799
and better than it, and so for they've done a

251
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.279
pretty damn good job to do it. So I'm hoping.

252
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.480
I don't know what's going to happen with hockey. I mean,

253
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.759
it seems like a Protect's gonna have that hockey contract

254
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.320
for forever. And I know Michael Jordan just resigned U

255
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.840
with a Protect, and I'm wondering to get your thoughts

256
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:14.080
on that.

257
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:18.320
You find here's, you know, the first thing, and I'll

258
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.279
get your response in return. The first thing I thought

259
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.600
Joe when I saw that, which is it's a cool

260
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.000
it's a cool thing. He's been with him since ninety one,

261
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.879
so a long term relationship that's basically extended. And then

262
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.559
the cool thing with them buying those eighty six eighty

263
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:38.159
seven packs, right, having them sign twenty three of them

264
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.519
and one of them as a one to one and

265
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.840
getting them you know, authenticated in in case and then

266
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.399
put redemption ins. Right, imagine pulling one of those or

267
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.000
if you're breaking that product that you know the good one.

268
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:56.000
And yeah, for someone that, I mean, that's just cool.

269
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.360
That's a cool He's not a big signer people who

270
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.600
are in autographs. No, he doesn't do a ton of

271
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:04.679
I don't think. I don't even know if he does

272
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.000
any sign of it. If you catch him at a

273
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:10.639
golf course, I know he's not necessarily rude, but he

274
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:14.240
have he will refuse to sign sometime in person. He

275
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.159
picks his spots and so you know, he's not a

276
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.720
guy that's what we would call a prevalent UH signer

277
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:25.799
in general. So the opportunity and that's why the signatures

278
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:29.519
bring what they do. I mean, he's not super old,

279
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.200
he's still alive, but he's just not a prevalent sign

280
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:36.240
So the opportunity to to pull something like that and

281
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.159
the other thing. But I got off on a little ramp.

282
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.480
The one of the first things I thought, whether it's

283
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.960
true or not, Joe, And I'll get your your take

284
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:46.720
on this. I thought, well, man, if upper Deck ever

285
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.559
wants to sell to tops, right, how do you how

286
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.200
do you raise your price? Right?

287
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.840
You make enhancements. It's like when you're selling.

288
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.919
Your house, right, you and you put on an addition

289
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.440
and you put a new de thank god, you redo

290
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.120
the kitchen with all new appliances and granted, and you

291
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.519
make your house. Now the price tag goes up because

292
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.200
you put some That's one of the first things I

293
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.679
thought of, is like, I don't know if upper Deck

294
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.120
wants to sell to fanatics, but man, even whether they

295
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:21.120
do or they don't, I think the price tag just

296
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.879
went up because not only would would fanatics be buying

297
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.480
upper Deck, and I don't mean this as the way

298
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:30.360
it sounds, but they're sort of buying Michael Jordan too,

299
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:35.480
because that would be come with any kind of acquisition

300
00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:40.960
of upper Deck. So I'll get your your thoughts the agreed, disagree,

301
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:42.639
or or how do you see that?

302
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.440
Well, that's a heck of a piece of granite. Getting

303
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.799
Michael Jordan's signer you signed with her. I mean, that's

304
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:50.720
a heck of a that's a nice piece of granite.

305
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:51.440
My friends.

306
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.440
I mean, look, here's the thing. I love the loyalty

307
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.559
that Michael is showing with Upper Deck. He's been with

308
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:01.559
them for thirty something and that's incredible. How cool would

309
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.799
it be but Michael Jordan to be next to like

310
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.600
pulling an actual Michael Jordan card, next to a Steph

311
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.879
Curry autograph or or somebody else, let's say, or a

312
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.639
victim m migneff in the same pack. And unfortunately a

313
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.039
lot of people that will never experience that. On the

314
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.799
license side, I'm not sure when his last Bulls licensed

315
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.679
jersey came out.

316
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:23.960
I think up card.

317
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.320
I'm gonna guess it was two thousand and nine when

318
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.559
Upper Deck lost their basketball contract with ON nine. What

319
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:31.360
a lot of people don't know is two thousand and

320
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:35.279
nine was such a crazy year Pannini got the NBA

321
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:39.200
contract with They have first year making cards and the

322
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.720
final year for Tops and Upper Deck to have the license,

323
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.039
so it almost like a transition year. So you have

324
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.440
upper Deck and O nine Steph Curry rookie year to

325
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.799
boot right James Harden rookie year. You have a couple

326
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.080
of really good rookies. With a Stef Curry rook is

327
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.639
just unbelievable, Tops making a couple of products. Tops not

328
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.799
making chrome products, including chrome cards in their base product,

329
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.359
which was super interesting to me. That base product all

330
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.440
that much more valuable because they didn't take a lot

331
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.640
of it. And then Upper Deck saying, hey, we're not

332
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.519
going to make a ton of our products either because

333
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:16.720
it's a transition here, but hey we're going to make

334
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.079
a jumbo product and we're going to build hot cases.

335
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:23.240
Nobody even talks about this, that they build hot cases

336
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.599
around that product, that Upper Deck hobby product where certain boxes,

337
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:31.680
every single pack has a hit. So it's very very

338
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.160
interesting to see the evil and how it go. I

339
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.440
still get excited ripping open those old boxes and finding

340
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:39.680
those treasures that are in there, because my god, there's

341
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:42.599
still some really big treasures out there. We pulled a

342
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:46.960
Michael Jordan autograph about four weeks ago out of four

343
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:51.720
SPX and my god, on card with dual patches, and

344
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.480
I literally froze the show for like fifteen twenty and

345
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:56.599
it's like I just could my first time hitting a

346
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.519
Michael Jordan autograph online.

347
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.440
It was just yeah, cool stuff.

348
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:04.240
It's gonna be interesting the next few years, right, Joe

349
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:06.920
about like transactions in the hobby.

350
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.839
You know what what happens with Upper Deck.

351
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.519
If you ask them, they'll tell you like, we're not

352
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.000
even gonna answer the question because we're not really for

353
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.720
sale that stuff they have to say, as you know

354
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.440
in the corporate world. But you you know, uh, you

355
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:25.200
never know, uh what could be what could be next?

356
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.880
And again you know, I'm not gonna lie, like you said,

357
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.920
it would be nice to see a Jordan card come

358
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.400
out with a Wemby behind it, right, what you won't

359
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:35.759
get now.

360
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:39.200
With goodwooden Champion and that sort. So we'll see what

361
00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:39.839
the future.

362
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.599
But you can get a numbered Flear pack out of

363
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:44.200
twenty three.

364
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:46.160
Yeah, that's really cool.

365
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:50.039
And I gotta and him signing the actual pack. I

366
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.720
mean that puts you in a dilemma. And then what

367
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:54.880
do you do? Would you would you try opening it?

368
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:57.960
I mean it's an expensive back within the autograph.

369
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:02.640
Yeah, I only can speak for myself. Jo, I'm probably

370
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.720
keeping that the way it is. And you know, just

371
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.000
I guess I said I wouldn't be greedy, right, It's

372
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:13.039
lucky I pulled the redemption in the first place. And

373
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:17.680
I'm just I'll enjoy the sealed pack and uh, you know,

374
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:21.240
the Jordan Auto and if I want a Jordan Rookie

375
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.799
that bad, I'll just have to you know, buck up

376
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.880
and save or whatever you have to do to purchase one,

377
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:31.440
sell another card I own and get that so and

378
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:34.640
keep that sign pack. I just when you think about

379
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.279
you know, we talk about numbers, and there's only gonna

380
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.079
be twenty three of them right from that from that product.

381
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.319
So I'm I'm keeping that clothes now. Eventually, would I

382
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:50.079
sell it? Like I you never say never, but you know,

383
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:52.480
probably not right away. I'm definitely gonna enjoy that.

384
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:53.319
Uh.

385
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.119
And you know, whether whether I leave it to my

386
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.920
son or not, I'm obviously talking and hypothetically probably never

387
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.839
have to worry about. But you know, it'd be a

388
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.440
nice problem to decide what to do with that should you?

389
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.519
Should you pull you know, pull that Redemp shit or

390
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:11.599
have it pulled for you.

391
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.720
So it's time for a quick break thoughts. We'll be

392
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:15.559
right back.

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.480
Speaking of pulling pulling, you mentioned a couple, Let's talk

401
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.960
about you and your what Not channel. Just what you do.

402
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.519
I know you do these twenty four hour live streams.

403
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:08.680
I get tired just saying that, but just just just

404
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:12.000
talk about everything you do there and sort of you

405
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.200
know where your channels started and where it is.

406
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.480
Yeah, sure, so right now we stream live on Whatnot.

407
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.039
And my Friday night show last thirty six hours straight

408
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:24.680
with no breaks on the last Friday night and it

409
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:28.400
goes into Sunday morning. And it really was, you know,

410
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.599
just to you know, cut to the chase. More people

411
00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:34.839
demanded the show go longer. So when this show started,

412
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:39.039
it started literally the one man opera, actually a two

413
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:41.519
man operation, me and my son, and then a one

414
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:43.720
man operation because he couldn't stay up that long with

415
00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:47.119
me anymore. He used to fall asleep, and you know,

416
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:49.279
the show would end where my battery would die in

417
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.319
and it went to all these crazy locations in my

418
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:55.720
house till we finally dedicated a room for it to

419
00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:58.559
for us to you know, to build a channel up

420
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:01.759
and slowly but surely, you know, we saw our viewership

421
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:06.920
rise and you know, I mean just is absolutely absolutely blessed.

422
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:09.359
I mean God really did bless us just the best

423
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.599
community and we had the meteoric rise. And now where

424
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.000
when we first got started, we have a couple of

425
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.720
people in the room, now we don't have thousands of

426
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.759
people in the room in the first few seconds, and

427
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:23.799
you know there's something wrong. So we've been incredibly blessed

428
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.240
for that. And now we love searching for the hardest

429
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.880
and you know, the biggest treasures in the hobby. That's

430
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:34.759
what we do. I go live Tuesday nights into Wednesday

431
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.440
and Friday nights that go all the way into Sunday.

432
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:42.240
So no matter where you are where internationally domestically, you're

433
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.640
working nights, you work mornings, you're working graveyard shifts, you

434
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.319
always gonna have an opportunity to turn us on and

435
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:50.720
to go for some of the you know, the most

436
00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:54.079
recognizable names, whether it's hunting for Kobe Autos or Michael

437
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:57.559
Joranado's or Tom Brady. It'll all be found on my

438
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:01.319
what Not show. Simply just to look up download Whatnot

439
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:05.240
and simply look up Joe Hollywood. That's it, Joe Hollywood.

440
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:07.640
And I have a second channel called Joe Hollywood Show,

441
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.799
which is my staff and my breakers, and they will

442
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.839
go on there. They all have their separate shows, but

443
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:15.079
when I go live, it's always me. I never have

444
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:17.480
anybody else feel for my show. So when you see

445
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:20.079
Joe Hollywood, that means I'm going live on And we

446
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:24.440
are on the precipice of crossing over half a million followers,

447
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:27.359
which is one of the top accounts on Whatnot. There's

448
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.759
not a single account right now that has a million followers,

449
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.279
so we are the most followed account in sports and

450
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.480
we're very proud about that. And there's not another sports

451
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:37.440
tell that has more followers than us, and we are

452
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.680
the most viewed show on Whatnot and when it comes

453
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.559
to sport, I'm really excited about that. All it certainly

454
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:47.359
has been just been an absolute blessing and looking forward

455
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:50.039
to how we can continue to build and see where

456
00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:52.519
it goes from here. But it never gets dull. It

457
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.720
seems to me, even in my forties, it gets more

458
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:58.799
and more exciting each and every single day, and I

459
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:00.799
just wake up happy all the time.

460
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:02.160
I do what I love.

461
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.400
Yeah it's and congrats and kudos there. What do you

462
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:08.599
attest the success from? Like if someone ask you what

463
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:11.319
I am asking you, like, how did that happen?

464
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:12.359
Or what is the like?

465
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:15.519
I don't think there's one reason, but like you know,

466
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:18.839
obviously you're you're you know, like you said, you're blessed,

467
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:20.680
But what do you think? What do you think it

468
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:22.920
is if you have to point to only one thing

469
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:24.240
or a couple things.

470
00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:26.160
Hard for me to point to the one thing right.

471
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:28.079
I had to get my faith right, I had to

472
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:31.960
prioritize God. I had to make sure that my family

473
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.720
was getting the love that they deserve for me as well.

474
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:37.200
But you know, the one thing that I can tell

475
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:39.359
you that once you get those things down, one of

476
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:41.920
the things that I can tell you that we do

477
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:43.480
that I think it's a lot of attention, is that

478
00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.519
we just work hard, and you have to work harder

479
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.720
than everybody else. And I think that that's a lost

480
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:50.000
art I think people have. I think I don't think

481
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.519
it's everybody, but I think that right now and where

482
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.000
we live and just how it is, I just kind

483
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.200
of think like that there's this this premonition that people

484
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:05.559
are expectant of success and that failure is not an

485
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:09.279
option for anything, whether how much you give to something

486
00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:11.680
or you don't give to something. People just expected only

487
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:13.559
to succeed at anything and not the.

488
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:15.960
Way it works. You have to work really hard it's successful.

489
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:19.400
And we put countless amount of hours just the two

490
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:22.079
shows alone that we I mean, I'm going live, you

491
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:25.400
know what's sixty hours, sixty five hours, that's just streaming time.

492
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:29.279
We're not taking into account you know, our employees and

493
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:33.200
taking account in and getting products and procuring these products

494
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:36.200
and then being able to you know, pricing those out

495
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.039
and getting the right cards for people and then putting

496
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:41.480
on a show that's entertaining and exciting. I mean, we

497
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:43.519
don't just put the cards on the table and say hey,

498
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:45.839
they're going to sell themselves like that's a that's a

499
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:49.640
really good way to fail. We believe is that it's

500
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:51.440
got to be fun, it's got to be exciting, it's

501
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.279
got to be engaging, and we want to do the

502
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:54.839
best job that we can. You know, when we make

503
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:57.039
mistakes all the time. I think if I had a

504
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:01.000
pinpoint one thing out of everything is that people should

505
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:05.240
expect to fail and be expectant of getting themselves back

506
00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:08.559
up and trying, versus failing and saying that they couldn't

507
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.000
do it, or being afraid to fail and never try.

508
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:13.680
That's the biggest problem. I think that if you are

509
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:16.839
somebody that loves something at sports cards, it could be

510
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:19.759
any go into it knowing that, yes, you're going to

511
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:23.319
fail at at some point or another, something's not going

512
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:26.559
to go your way, and guess what, that's okay. That

513
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.599
is actually a cornerstone of success. The more times are fail,

514
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:33.519
the more likely you are to succeed. We've kind of

515
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:36.839
lost that mentality, and I hate to say that.

516
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:37.559
But we really have.

517
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.839
And I really believe that maybe we can start thinking

518
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:43.960
about that and more people decide that they want to

519
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:46.039
get into the hobby, that they'd like to be successful

520
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:47.759
in the hobby. Just keep that in mind. You know,

521
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:49.240
it's going to be a lot of hard work in

522
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:51.200
the beginning. It's going to be a tremendous amount of

523
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:54.160
hard work. You just have to outwork everybody and make

524
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:56.359
sure that you know that you're going to fail more

525
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:57.000
often than not.

526
00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:59.039
Don't let that get you. Keep your head up.

527
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.039
That's well said, and I agree with that sentiment. Right

528
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.400
there's nobody. I don't care who you are, even the

529
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:08.319
most successful person in the world. Right, they're not batting

530
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:12.640
a thousand. No one bats a thousand. It's never been

531
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:15.240
that way. It's never really gonna happen. I don't care

532
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.759
who you are, right, And it's a great point if

533
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:20.480
you kind of go in with that mentality, like there's

534
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:24.039
gonna be down points, there's gonna be high points, low points,

535
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:24.960
but whatever.

536
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.119
I'm gonna just continue to work hard.

537
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:30.000
And if I get knocked down, I'm gonna brush myself

538
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.200
off and get back up and it might happen again,

539
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:35.960
and I'll just keep getting up and be harder to

540
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:39.480
knock down. The more time they get up, the knockdowns

541
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:43.480
are gonna get fewer as I learned things along the way. So, uh,

542
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:46.640
it's a it's a great it's a great mindset. I

543
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:49.759
think it's very true. And I think sort of if

544
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:53.240
you can get into that mindset, you'll you'll probably be

545
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:57.240
I have a better chance at being successful then than not.

546
00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:01.279
So I concur with that as well.

00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:09.440

So I got I don't ask this to every guest

556
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.359
on every episode, but you know, if you got your

557
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:58.759
finger on the post of the hobby, if is there

558
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:01.880
a hobby pep peeven other words, if you could change

559
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:05.119
one thing, whether it be add something to the hobby

560
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.559
or take something out of the hobby that you don't like,

561
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:10.799
or ad bothers you like, what would you change if

562
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:13.400
if you had the power to change one thing.

563
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.160
If I have the power to change one thing, it's

564
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:19.359
not that it's a pet peeve. I would like more

565
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:24.880
people to have accessibility to bigger shows across not only

566
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.319
the United States, but across collective. You know, if you're

567
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:30.200
not available for the national that one week, or you

568
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.119
don't have the means of getting to I mean, I

569
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:35.000
know it's not always in Chicago, but it feels like

570
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:37.200
it's always in Chicago, Right, it was last year, is

571
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.759
this year next year? Right, it's perennially in Chicago.

572
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:42.039
Right.

573
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:44.000
But and they do a great job, and they do

574
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:46.960
it great, But I almill say, like a kid that

575
00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:49.960
grew up that had very meaner mean, I could never

576
00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:53.839
afford to the to the National. Right, I was regulated

577
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.720
to sports shows that were held in a and you

578
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:01.079
know the church basement basis the hell of those shows, right.

579
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.079
And so.

580
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:08.839
Yeah, yeah, there's Sunday morning sports card shows right after church. Right,

581
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:13.000
there was eleven to three, twelve to four sports cards,

582
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:15.519
And so I guess what I was trying. What I

583
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.400
would try to say is I would love for there

584
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:20.960
to be And I love what Fanatics Fest is doing.

585
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:23.519
I think that's great, and I love that they put

586
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:26.519
they put one up in New York they're doing, but

587
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:29.960
I'd love to see one every quarter in a different sector.

588
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:31.400
Like let the National be the but you know what,

589
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:32.200
let's get.

590
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:35.680
A traveling roadshow for sports cards to go and to

591
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.599
be in certain places that people are going.

592
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:38.799
Right.

593
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:40.440
I don't think it's going to take anything away from

594
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:42.119
the National. I don't think it's going to take anything

595
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:44.680
away from tex Fest. But I think it's about time

596
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:46.720
that the hobby is big enough that we need more

597
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:49.480
than one big show a year or two big shows

598
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:51.759
to satisfy the hobby. I think we're up to one.

599
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:54.079
And you know what, and rightfully so, I mean, this

600
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:57.559
is a hobby that's growing exponentially. People always complain that,

601
00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:59.359
you know, they don't get a chance to meet the

602
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:01.640
other people thoughts, And one of the more people that

603
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:03.079
you meet in the hobby, the more you're going to

604
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:04.960
a lot of great people. And soid I'm not telling

605
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:07.640
you everybody's great. Not everyone is great, but most of

606
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:09.519
the people. And I think that that's a good thing.

607
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.079
More that you make it in mainstream, I think the

608
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:14.000
more that people are going to be attracted to it,

609
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:15.559
and more people we are going to attract.

610
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.640
Yeah, well said, I agree, And I want you know,

611
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:20.759
you mentioned about bringing more people in the hobby, and

612
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:23.039
I'm sure you'll agree what I'm about to say too, Joe.

613
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:24.680
I want them to stay right.

614
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:27.400
I'm not looking It's not up to me anyway, But

615
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:30.519
I'm not looking for someone that you know, stays a

616
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.319
couple of years, makes a few bucks and then says

617
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:36.319
I'm out. I want the people like us who've been

618
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:39.559
in for the long haul haul. I think that ultimately

619
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:42.720
shows the strength of the hobby. I think we're seeing

620
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:45.839
more of that as the hobby does get stronger. So

621
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:49.160
I echo that I'd like to see the hobby grow,

622
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:52.240
but with with people who are who want to be

623
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:53.759
here for the long haul.

624
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:56.519
And it's nothing wrong with making money, but it can't

625
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:57.640
just be that. Right.

626
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:01.279
If that's all it is, then as as are someone

627
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:05.160
who will leave sooner than than later. But if it's

628
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:09.480
more than that, whether it's the nostalgia or just the

629
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:12.359
enjoyment or just being a sports fan and connect and

630
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.440
bridging those two worlds, and and they're in it for

631
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:18.000
the long haul, that's that's kind of where, you know

632
00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:19.519
what I want to I agree.

633
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:20.480
With that you got to be in it for the

634
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.960
long haul. You've got to have some kind of passion

635
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.279
for it. It can't just be it can't just be

636
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:27.039
for the money. You've got to be passionate about what

637
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:28.519
you do. But I think I conveyed they think that

638
00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:30.079
the people that are in it just for the money.

639
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:33.440
I think that people see that. I think that that's

640
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:35.920
pretty transparent. I think that the people that are passionate

641
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:37.759
about this always the people are going to.

642
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:41.079
Yep, no doubt. Well, Joe, you're a busy guy.

643
00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:44.400
I don't know when you sleep doing all those long

644
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:48.559
live streams, but I appreciate you making some time for

645
00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:51.519
us here on Sports Carnation. We'll have to do it again.

646
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:55.359
I look forward to meeting you here at the National.

647
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:58.359
I always give the guests sort of find a word

648
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.720
give out like your what not stuff anyway, anything you

649
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:05.079
want to share to direct people where to check out

650
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:05.680
what you're doing.

651
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:08.960
Take your time and let people. Well.

652
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:10.880
It was great to be here, John, I really had

653
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:12.759
a blast. I hope that we can do this again.

654
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.279
That was I think we just scratched the surface about

655
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:17.559
what you and I can talk about and speak about

656
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:18.440
when it comes to cards.

657
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:21.079
But if you like to we I was gonna say

658
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:23.359
we could do a sports show too at that point,

659
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:24.640
but yeah.

660
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:25.359
We probably could.

661
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.799
Absolutely we could, and just just the New York stories

662
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:31.519
alone could probably could probably fill the years worth the time.

663
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:34.759
