1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.040
Sports Guard, Nations, Hobbies, the People, Wheely News and Interviews.

2
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:13.279
It's your number one song. Spalls Garnation. Hobby is the

3
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:18.440
people spawns Garnation.

4
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.160
What is up, everybody? Welcome to episode three seventy two

5
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.920
of Sports Coordination. A little under the weather. I've got

6
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:33.039
COVID for the second time that I know of in

7
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:37.719
my life. Minor symptoms. I'm doing all right, no fever,

8
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.840
so I have to wear a mask. That's probably the

9
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.600
worst thing about it. You know, a little hadache, little

10
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.679
scratchy throat, but it could be a lot worse. So,

11
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.479
you know, no pity party for me, just forgured. I'm

12
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.439
pretty you know, open with things I share. So but

13
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.719
the show will go on as always, and this will

14
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:05.480
be part two of our conversation with Nascard Radios, val

15
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.000
Mars and Logan Ward. We're gonna talk a little more

16
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.680
hobby on part two than we did part one, which

17
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:18.040
focused on their racing card Hall of Fame card induction.

18
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.920
We'll chop up a little bit more hobby on this episode.

19
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.560
So with that being said, we'll keep the intro short

20
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.000
and sweet and get the show started. Okay, here is

21
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.319
the conclusion of our conversation with val Mar's Logan Ward

22
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.879
from Nascard Radio Enjoy.

23
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.519
Hey John, Yeah, we go back away.

24
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.159
Yeah yeah.

25
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.640
We can't promise anyone's safety on these episodes that are

26
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.400
coming out of us, but buckle up to use a

27
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.560
racing for a card tournament. We're gonna and and you

28
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.319
guys are you know, doing a great job with NASCAR

29
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.799
Radio and that side of the hobby. You guys are

30
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.840
probably you know, when we talk about that side of

31
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.760
the hobby, you guys are the first two guys you

32
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.560
mentioned right at the right, at the forefront of that.

33
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.919
We're gonna get into some of that. You've got an

34
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.240
endeavor that you're you're doing a racing card Hall of Fame.

35
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.159
We're gonna get to that, but let's get let's start

36
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.560
off with something. You know, here's the thing, and you

37
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.639
get this happens to you guys, And I don't know

38
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.280
if it bothers you or I think sometimes when you

39
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.039
when you specialize in an area like racing cards, people

40
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.280
think that's all you know. And I know, obviously from

41
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.400
knowing you guys, I know that's not the case. You know,

42
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.680
the hobby besides racing cards, even though that your your

43
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.120
main focus. You're not tonal vision. You see what's going

44
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.680
on across the board. So let's let's start there, guys,

45
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.759
kind of a state of the union. Whoever wants to go,

46
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.879
like where the hobby is here? As we wrap up?

47
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.599
You know this is gonna air in twenty twenty six.

48
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.919
As we wrapped up twenty twenty five, which was no

49
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.080
shortage of news that seemed like every week in the Hobby,

50
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.479
good bow good.

51
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.240
To say something. So do you throw our time and

52
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.439
off usually just being logan on the show? Uh yeah,

53
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.080
you know, uh doing doing a niche and like NASCAR

54
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.879
as well as we kind of keep tabs on some

55
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.120
of the oose and you know, like wax and there's

56
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.159
a lot of similarities and you know how you uh yeah,

57
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.639
it just seems like twenty twenty five and a lot

58
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.639
of stuff. I didn't have my biard there with the

59
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.240
says buying everything up, and I.

60
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.719
Got breaking news the new owner of sports Car Nation

61
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.960
podcast is Collectors. I just they just called me. We

62
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:43.479
worked there.

63
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:49.639
I'm kidding, congratulations.

64
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.280
So here's what I'm supposed to say. Now, I'm just

65
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.400
kidding that that is not just for those who don't

66
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.400
get my humor or our humor. That is just a

67
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.759
we're joking, but they can't afford me.

68
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.840
There you go, well, I don't know, you uh not,

69
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.520
he's got he's got some deep pocket or maybe he

70
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.840
Fina similes you so uh yeah, I mean you know

71
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.639
where to start in five?

72
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.560
Well, let's start there. Let's start stare a veil like

73
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.639
the collective universe now in a sense owning three grading

74
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.439
acted with P s A, SGC and now Beckett like

75
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.920
you know, I don't you know there's a thousand grading

76
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.000
card companies, some we've never even heard of, don't know of.

77
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:33.839
That's gonna be what they hang their head on that

78
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.079
they're not a monopoly. But let's be real, right, that's

79
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.399
three of the big four. If you want to keep

80
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.720
it out of big four, what do you see being

81
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.319
the one on the outside looking in? You know, thoughts

82
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.879
on that is that good for the hobby, bad for

83
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.720
the hobby? Neither? Just it is what it is. Like

84
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.720
where do you fall on that question?

85
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:54.720
Well, I'll answer that one.

86
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.040
I know less than europe PSA Hall of Famers. So

87
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.160
we're like, yeah, for sure.

88
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.720
Yeah I am in the PSA Collector's Hall of Fame.

89
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.399
But you know, back when I first started grading, which

90
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.199
was over twenty years ago, I remember going to the

91
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.879
National and bulk submitting like a couple hundred cards and

92
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.920
getting prices at about four dollars a card at bulk rades.

93
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.079
Now it's what twenty two however much it is now,

94
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.680
it's it's it's it's just grown exponentially and it it's

95
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:30.360
it's gotten to a point where, man, it's it's PSA.

96
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.480
I love you, Nat, I love you guys. But I

97
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.120
feel like I'm being priced out as a collector. It's

98
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.800
just the prices are too high. The cards that I

99
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.360
want to grade are not worth grading at the prices

100
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.839
that they're charging. And not only that, it seems like

101
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.959
if you're a set Registry member that you know, getting

102
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.519
comments graded at well, like I said, twenty two dollars

103
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.000
or whatever it is, now, I hit.

104
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.920
Yeah, those days are over. Those days are over four dollars.

105
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.959
That was nineteen four. I was nineteen thirty nine.

106
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.839
No, ninety forty. You need to get your get your faction.

107
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.519
But but it's hard to be a set registree collector

108
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.040
like I am with the prices that that that they're charging.

109
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.000
And then you know, you see prices go up, and

110
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.759
you see turnaround times go higher. You know, we go

111
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.040
from whatever sixty five days is seventy five days or whatever.

112
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.120
But you know why, you guys know why because they

113
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.079
got you. Now they got you even more because you

114
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.920
know before before you could always say before these acts

115
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.920
logan and value, you can say, well, you know what,

116
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.639
I've had it, I've fed up with PSA, I'm going

117
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.600
to SGC, I'm going to beck it. Now. When you

118
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.839
say that, right, they're like, okay, with the money comes

119
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.360
to the same same bank vault, right, like, do what

120
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:49.319
you want to do. So that's that's I guess if

121
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:53.279
I don't have a major problem, but I guess that's

122
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.600
it is because it's like Burger King, Biden, McDonald's, and Wendy's, right,

123
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.040
or you know, whatever analogy you want to make. The

124
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.399
three supermarkets that might be in your region that are

125
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.120
competitors now they're owned by the same parent company. So

126
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.120
no matter where you do your shopping, they don't really

127
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.839
care anymore because the money still winds up in the

128
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.279
same place. Where when it's not owned by the same company,

129
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.480
they're competing against one another. They want to be better

130
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.279
because they want you to do business with them, and

131
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.879
them only now now they've just got their hands in

132
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.920
three different tills. And that's just on the grading side.

133
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.959
We could do a whole an other show on just

134
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.560
hobby and these, right, So that's where I fall, like,

135
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.920
that's what makes me nervous is is you you don't

136
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.800
have a lot of places to turn that are that

137
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.839
are reputable known grading companies unless that's at this point

138
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.240
to me, cgc's that last remaining one and they're known

139
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:55.000
more for their nonsports and TCG. You know, will that

140
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.279
change now? Maybe maybe they get a bump from from

141
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.279
what all this this news go ahead. I'd got enough.

142
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:03.040
One of the things I was gonna say, and I

143
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.319
don't think it gets kind of talked enough about, But

144
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.279
is the set right? I think that was a big

145
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:12.279
draw that folks for the four hours five hours, you know,

146
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.279
that's when I kind of got started completing sets in

147
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.839
the set registry, right, and that was kind of driving

148
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:19.519
some of that. And then I could see for the

149
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.199
hiring cards like that which will get their stuff graded.

150
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.000
And it's always been a draw and it helps with

151
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.519
pricing psa set that So, but I mean he's smart

152
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:31.639
with you know, the PSA has changed hands that and

153
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.480
they're buying their competence, I guess, trying to keep maybe

154
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.159
fanatics out, fanatics on how tactics and how they've wrangled

155
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.480
all that that sport off. And again to your point,

156
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.440
like they bought all the competitors. These little guys, they

157
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.200
have no foothold or challenge, and again is the big draw.

158
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.080
And that's why I don't leave. You can ask Logan

159
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.039
how many he has and how many cards he has,

160
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.320
and they can fit in all those. I think if

161
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:53.639
you get in, you don't get out.

162
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.759
Yeah, I mean, I'm all in with PSA right now.

163
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:01.240
And you know, I think the market has changed substantially

164
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.559
and p s A has catered to the changes because

165
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.639
now it's not a collector market. This is my opinion.

166
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.679
It's not a collector market per se. It's a flipping market.

167
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.799
It's all about making money. It's all about greed, and

168
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.559
PSA is like, okay, and I understand it. They want

169
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:19.639
to they want to get their money because they know

170
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.720
that these people are going to grade these cards, sell

171
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.240
them for you know extra, you know, exorbitantly more money,

172
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.679
and uh flip these cards. So ps A is going

173
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.399
to charge more so that I'm not the target market

174
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.720
any for it's the flippers and the uh is one

175
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.279
of our friends says, the invest of flip boys that

176
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.639
that are that are the people that are, you know,

177
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.559
flipping cards and all they are hot potatoes. Nobody's collecting

178
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.519
them all. All somebody's doing is hoping they can buy

179
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:49.960
this card at a good price, sell it at a profit,

180
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.720
and let the next guy deal with the hot potato.

181
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.360
That that's that's the market we're dealing with it.

182
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.879
It's become it's become day trading, it's become gay tra

183
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.559
a little bit. So you know, at this past year's

184
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.639
National in Chicago, you know there was the downstairs which

185
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.799
became like you know, trade night, with people putting their

186
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.399
stuff on the table. I didn't go down there. I

187
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.600
went down there. Really it was kind of a secret

188
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.000
bathroom that you didn't have to wait in line for.

189
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.399
But the truth be told, guys, But you know, and

190
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:25.840
walking the floor, you know you hear conversations, right, and

191
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.279
you made a great point vow right that people are

192
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:32.039
there's no more attachment at all to cards like oh

193
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.840
I love this card, I want to buy own ten

194
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:36.879
of them? Right? You know this is the things I

195
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.399
would hear on that that trading for. Oh I just

196
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.759
got this three hours ago. I need this for it,

197
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.679
you know what I mean. So there's no it's just

198
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.320
a view. It's just a vessel to get the next

199
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.600
thing hours later, to get the next thing hours later,

200
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.559
to get the next thing the next day, the next weekend,

201
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.799
the next show. You know, when we use the term

202
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:06.399
PC right for personal collection, I think that's becoming sort

203
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:08.679
of a lost start. I don't know if people have

204
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:12.080
you know, I've even heard I'm not gonna match your names.

205
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.960
I heard someone I know say they used to have

206
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.399
a personal collection. But now the way the market is,

207
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.360
everything has a price and they're not attached to anything.

208
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.480
So even personal collection, they're going the way of the

209
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.080
dinosaur and like they don't exist anymore. Every you know,

210
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.919
and I know the saying everything has a price, and

211
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.919
it is true. I mean, I you know my Grail

212
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.399
cards behind me in this Jackie Robinson Rookie. If someone

213
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.399
offered me more than it's worth, I'm gonna sell it.

214
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.399
And then but what am I gonna do with buy

215
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.519
another one and just replace it? So I'm not just

216
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.759
keeping the money. I would I still have the card

217
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.039
if someone wanted to overpay, So that's a little different.

218
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.200
But people just there is very few people or it

219
00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:01.879
seemed like PCs are a a lot of starters.

220
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.840
Oh, there's there's no doubt about that, John Uh.

221
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.080
And I'm gonna go back to the prime word that

222
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.080
I'm using here is is greed.

223
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.519
People see that they they see they see things on TV.

224
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.200
Okay, oh this card, Caitlyn Clark card sold for blah

225
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.039
blah blah, or this card sold for blah blah blah,

226
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:20.720
and they're going, oh my god, I can make all

227
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.000
this money with trading cards.

228
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:24.519
So that's their mentality.

229
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.720
Their mentality is not to collect, which you know, this

230
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.720
is supposed to be a hobby, which again in my opinion,

231
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.200
has kind of ceased to be a hobby and a

232
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.840
lot of aspect and there's this I don't I'm not

233
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:41.120
a fan of what I'm seeing in the hobby and

234
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.559
people out there. You guys can call me an old head,

235
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:45.240
you can call me whatever you want to call me,

236
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.399
that's fine. But you know, I'm a true collector in

237
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.799
the in the in the in the sense, and I've

238
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:55.360
been collecting for over fifty years and I started doing

239
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.559
this as a kid because I loved it and I

240
00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:00.559
still love it to this day. But that's not how

241
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.360
it works now and maybe I need to come to

242
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:06.440
grips with that. But the market is totally different.

243
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.039
Well you're talking about like that, and I think with

244
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:11.399
this whole gambling you know, blue are I don't say

245
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:14.120
it was a scratch off opening open up wax boxes, right,

246
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.039
I know the other sticking cards of those hot work

247
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.759
commands tens of thousands of dollars and Johnnying tris. We

248
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.639
have a really hot working right now in NASCAR one

249
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.480
on one in National Car high end, I know, super high.

250
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.159
Maybe life chakle of buying all this wax and mentality

251
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:29.840
trying and get this.

252
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.960
Yeah, here's the thing, guys. You can do both. Like

253
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.240
I'll point to myself as an example. So I've done

254
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.840
shows since I've been a fifteen year old kid. So

255
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.679
I've done thirty seven years of setting up a shows

256
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.960
as a dealer. Now I have a dealer inventory and

257
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.960
then everything you know you see behind me and in

258
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:52.200
boxing that never goes with me to the show. That's

259
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.639
my PC. Like you could be you can do both.

260
00:13:55.799 --> 00:14:00.320
And again I don't want this to be misconstrued as well.

261
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:04.000
John thinks he's he's better because he does both. But

262
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:06.320
you know, there is a part of the hobby, like

263
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.240
you guys just pointed out, and I'm gonna point out

264
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.000
that there's just no more. They don't keep anything. Everything

265
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.559
is just there's no attachment. Everything is just a dollar sign.

266
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.879
This card is this, this, that card is that. This

267
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.639
other card is this, And that's all I'm concerned with.

268
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.879
I don't care Oh he had a great game last night.

269
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.960
Oh he wont to race last week. Now the card

270
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.600
is this, That's all I care about. You know. I

271
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.840
got in the cards as a very young kid because

272
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:36.960
I was a sports kid. And then I learned they

273
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.159
were making cards of these athletes that I loved and

274
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.879
followed growing up in New York City, and I'm like,

275
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:46.480
I gotta get the cards. I wasn't thinking, you know,

276
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.919
dollars sign. I even got into doing shows. You know,

277
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.679
I'll blame it on my my friends in peer pressure.

278
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.720
You know, I wasn't chewing the gum, guys. I was

279
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.919
trading my gum for more cards and getting my cavities

280
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:04.360
from drinking Oca Cola instead. And I asked this, you know,

281
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.559
pretty good collection for a little for a younger kid,

282
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.759
a younger teen. I was working at a card shop

283
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.480
and I saw I was working at card shows for

284
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:17.080
the card store. And then all my friends were like,

285
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.200
you got quite a collection, newman. Why don't you set

286
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:23.200
up yourself? And I didn't. Initially, I think I was

287
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.399
a year of hearing that, like what are you waiting for?

288
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.919
Man to do it? You got enough stuff, And finally I,

289
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.000
you know, I did. I said I'm gonna I'm gonna

290
00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:34.720
try it, and I did well. My first show, I

291
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.919
had no bedside manner. I've talked about this on this

292
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.320
I didn't talk to it. I just sat there until

293
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.919
someone wanted to buy something off my table, to the

294
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:47.039
point people thought like my dad was just in the

295
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:51.000
bathroom or something. They didn't even realize it was my stuff.

296
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:55.240
I told the story that one person said, hey, I'm

297
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:58.159
interested in this card when your dad comes back. I

298
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.559
kind of want to see if you can do little better,

299
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:02.960
and I had to say, you know now that this

300
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.360
is my stuff, and the look on their face when

301
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:08.440
I said that. So, I hope after thirty seven years

302
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.000
of card shows, I've improved some of that banter. I

303
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.399
think I have, but not being that shy kid. But

304
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.559
you know I keep cards that I self. But you

305
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.159
can do both and you know, to be fully transparent.

306
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.080
If you ask me, hey, John, does it bother you?

307
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.000
If someone has zero attachment to the car, then it's

308
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.799
just a vessel for money. Yeah, I'd say it bothers

309
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:36.840
me a little bit. Am I losing sleep over it?

310
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:37.159
No?

311
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.240
But I you know, I like to think a hobby, right,

312
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.720
you have, it's something you do, whether you build models

313
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.360
or you paint, right, you keep some of what you do.

314
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.120
Even if you sell some of what you you also

315
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.159
some of what you do. And I just think it's

316
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:58.240
it's different today than when we probably first got it.

317
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.399
Yeah, it's definitely more empt that it's ever been.

318
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:02.240
Uh.

319
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.799
You know, I'll tell you this quick story. I remember

320
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:11.000
years ago I collected hot wheel cars as well, and uh,

321
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.200
I was at a Walmart one night. I picked up

322
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:15.799
a card, I mean, excuse me, a car and I

323
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.440
had in my hand and some dude comes in and

324
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.000
he sees this car in my hand. He goes, hey,

325
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.240
that's supposed to be for me. And I'm like, what

326
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.319
are you talking about? He goes, no, that's supposed to

327
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.000
be for me, he goes, I bet you don't even

328
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.880
collect him or do anything with him. In fact, I

329
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:30.559
ought to come and burn your house deck and he

330
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.720
was screaming and yelling at me in the middle of

331
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:34.279
Walmart and they had to escort.

332
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:34.799
This guy out.

333
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:37.480
And uh, that was the night that I ended up

334
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.480
stopping collecting hot wheels because it's like, Okay, it's not

335
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.160
worth it. If if people are that obsessed with it

336
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.920
and think that you know, the value is you know

337
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:48.480
how much I can sell it for a is all

338
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.559
it's you know, all that it's you know about, then

339
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:53.200
I don't want any part of this.

340
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:54.400
So uh.

341
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:57.559
And I used to think that Hollwell collectors were really

342
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.680
you know, not even collectors, they were just you know, terrible,

343
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:01.640
terrible collector.

344
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:03.160
And then the pandemic came.

345
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.079
Then I saw how the greed was and the prices

346
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:09.240
and things, and how things changed in our hobby. And

347
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.519
I don't think that the hotway collectors are the worst

348
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.680
collectors in it. And that's that's a bad that's a

349
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:17.480
terrible statement to make, but that's that's how I feel

350
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:20.920
about the hobby in general, and more so with stick

351
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.799
and ball, I would have to say that our aspect

352
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.359
of the hobby, our little niche, is still primarily about

353
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.880
collect because here's here's why. Because people look at Nascar

354
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.880
and go, oh, it's Nascar cards. There's not much value

355
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:35.440
in though, So I'm not gonna mess with it, and

356
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.519
that's fine with me. I'm gonna still keep collecting and

357
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.920
I'm still keep having fun with it. But the stick

358
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:43.480
and ball, that's a whole nother story, and it really

359
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:44.400
is disturbing.

360
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:46.400
One thing I was gonna say, you know, I think

361
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:49.640
we all prices rise. Its like that. My fear is

362
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.799
stuff escalates silly high, and folks get a bad experience. Right,

363
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.160
they spitied the dollars for a wax spot, get not

364
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.920
even half their money back. Then they kind of get

365
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:00.799
out of the hobby. You know, I've to stay in

366
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.200
the hobby and collect and enjoy it. And when I

367
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.480
was talking about the high wax probably like that, that's

368
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.079
kind of where I'm coming from. Where you know, people

369
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:10.319
having a bad experience, they leave the hobby.

370
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:13.880
See, that's where I'm going to differ in different I'm

371
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:16.119
gonna disagree with you some of that hobby growing. I

372
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:18.319
hear all the time that we want to bring more

373
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:21.799
people into the hobby. Why, somebody out there, somebody in

374
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.279
the comments, somebody tell me why we want to grow

375
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.799
the hobby, because all I see anymore is nothing. But

376
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:29.039
I'm going to go back to it. And I keep

377
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.720
using this word because it's it's absolutely true, greed. I

378
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:34.519
don't want more greedy people in here.

379
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:34.759
Now.

380
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:37.160
If we get more hobbyists in here, people that truly

381
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:39.559
care about the cards, want to keep the cards and

382
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.440
collect the cards and have fun with it and make

383
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.400
it a real hobby, I'm cool with that. But right now,

384
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.839
people are in this hobby for the wrong reasons. Don't

385
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:48.960
want the hobby to grow. No, and let me tell

386
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:51.640
you this too, it would hurt my feelings one bit

387
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:53.920
if the whole market crashed today.

388
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:55.519
Well, I guess what I was saying, grow the hobby.

389
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:59.000
You know we talked about before where we have NASCAR

390
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.400
folks who don't even know they make Nascar cards, right,

391
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:04.559
So we can't even get Nascar cards at the tracks.

392
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.440
So because they complain about who's on the box because

393
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:09.240
they don't want to promote some of the driver and

394
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:12.880
Panini doesn't want to do a generic brand blaster. That's

395
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:14.799
what I was talking about. With trying to grow this forard.

396
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:16.519
We have folks who have been at the National Hall.

397
00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:18.759
You know, we've been to the NASCAR Hall of Fame

398
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:21.839
getting cards autographed, and people are like, what is that

399
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:24.880
they make those? Like, yeah, they've been making them since

400
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:25.759
nineteen eighty eight.

401
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:29.279
Every Yeah, that's crazy that that's like you hear that,

402
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.880
you know when like you said, that's thirty seven years

403
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.839
of NASCAR cards that people aren't even aware of that

404
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.279
that track record pun intended.

405
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:43.079

We back.

417
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:23.240
And going back to something Logan said, I agree with

418
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.960
you Logan in this respect, right and vow and I

419
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.640
don't want to speak for valies right here, but growing

420
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:32.799
the hobby for people who are going to stick around

421
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.599
for the long haul. That those are the people I

422
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:39.440
want to come in to the hobby vow in logan right,

423
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:43.720
people like I started, you know, as a seven year

424
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.319
old kid in nineteen seventy nine. Here we are in

425
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:49.880
twenty twenty five, forty six years later, and I'm still

426
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.079
in the hobby. I want. I want people who are

427
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.319
going to love the hobby through the tough times, the

428
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.519
crescendo years like we like we have in some might argue,

429
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.799
are still in Like. I want people in the hobby

430
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.599
that are in it because, like you say, they enjoy

431
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:09.839
the hobby. They're passionate about the hobby. If you make money,

432
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:12.000
that's just sort of like the gravy on top of

433
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.599
the potatoes. But they're there for the potatoes to begin with,

434
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.960
like I am and you guys are. So you know,

435
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:23.680
that's as far as I'll go. Like to get someone

436
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:26.279
in the hobby for a three year window so they

437
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.599
can make you know, fifty thousand dollars one hundred thousand

438
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.759
dollars and then right off into the blue yonder. That

439
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:37.119
that's not a hobbyist. That's someone who who dipped their

440
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:39.440
toe in the water. They didn't jump into pool swim

441
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:43.119
and stay right, they just they just took a dip

442
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:45.920
and then then and then left in the grand scheme

443
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.799
of things. So growing the hobby I'm all for. But

444
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.799
it's it's to me like like you know, like you

445
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:54.440
guys said, it's gotta be people who are going to

446
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:58.920
stick around for the longhold. It's not just a red

447
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.000
and black eyes and a profit and loss sheep. Because

448
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.759
if that's all it is, we can make the debate

449
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.000
whether even to call them hobbyists or not. We can

450
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:10.680
just call them business people at that point, right, just

451
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:15.559
to sell salesmen or women. So if they're if they're true,

452
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.279
if they want to be a real hobbyist, and a

453
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.880
real hobbyist can sell stuff that's not where I do that,

454
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.559
I feel because I sell that shows. There's show inventory,

455
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:28.880
but where does you know where does sixty to seventy

456
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:31.000
percent of the money I make out a show go

457
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.000
right back in the hobby right and some of that

458
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:36.839
and it's not all for show inventory. Some of that

459
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:39.319
is stuff that I'm buying that's in this room and

460
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:42.000
never going to see one of my showcases. Right, so

461
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:46.279
I'm forth growing the hobby. If they're really hobbyists coming in,

462
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:50.559
if it's just people see you know, profit and loss,

463
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:54.000
then I can debate whether they're the hobbyist. To begin with,

464
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:56.920
you're not really growing the hobby, you're just growing sales

465
00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:58.039
a salesforce.

466
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.720
Yeah, we've got a guide that comes in. He's always

467
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:05.880
shopping things at our show, right, And I saw him

468
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:08.960
and everybody, don't get me wrong, and I'm not I'm

469
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:10.759
not trying to be a hypocrite or anything like that.

470
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.680
I do set up at our local show. I have

471
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.519
a few odds and in things. Trust me, it's like nothing.

472
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:21.599
I have nothing over nothing over three figures in my case,

473
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.000
I sell also a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff

474
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.240
and I'll be happy, and every bit of that money

475
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:28.200
goes towards my national at the end of the year.

476
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:32.000
But anyway, this guy comes to the shows and he's shopping.

477
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.039
He came up at the last show and he had

478
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:36.720
some sixty two tops Base and he had some sixty

479
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:40.039
three Fleer and so he's he goes, you want to

480
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:41.640
see this? And I looked at me and I said,

481
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:43.960
are there any green tent variations in.

482
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:45.400
These sixty two tops.

483
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:46.359
And he's like, what's that?

484
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:48.799
And I said, what about what about the Joe Adcock

485
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:51.400
and what about the checklist and the sixty three Fleair?

486
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:52.279
What's that?

487
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:54.759
I looked at him, didn't see anything like that. But

488
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.960
all he was trying to do was sell. He had

489
00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:01.599
no education, no, not. All he knew is he had

490
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:04.000
a box of cards that he wanted to unload and

491
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:05.200
sell for more.

492
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:05.839
Than what he paid.

493
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:09.000
I'm sorry, buddy, I've got a problem with that.

494
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:11.480
Have some knowledge, at least, at least know.

495
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.480
What you're if you're gonna deal, know what you're dealing with.

496
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.480
I mean, I have extensive knowledge on vintage cards. I

497
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:21.759
grew up reading the Sports Collector Bible from from cover

498
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.920
to cover with kid. I guarantee you that I know

499
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:29.359
a lot about about vintage baseball cards because I collected

500
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:32.079
baseball cards till nineteen ninety one, un till I finally

501
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.440
got out of it and couldn't couldn't take it any Yeah.

502
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.799
That's the thing, all right, is kind of know what

503
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:42.079
you're you got, and not even just for you know,

504
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:46.200
for selling, right, but just for for your knowledge base right.

505
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:49.799
He might have had what if you weren't so highness, right,

506
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:51.839
and he had something like that and he didn't even

507
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:54.119
know there was a premium on it, and you just

508
00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:57.559
made him an offer and took advantage of a situation

509
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:00.920
which you could have done, you know, if he had that,

510
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.400
if he had that in the in the inventory that

511
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.200
he had, So like, yeah, I agree with you, and

512
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:08.799
I see that too, and it is what it is.

513
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:11.519
And I've you know, this is not a made up store.

514
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.240
Someone's gonna probably say you're you're making up a store.

515
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:17.599
I've had people cut on my table selling stuff, and

516
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:19.759
I always try to buy, or at least look and

517
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.839
see if there's anything I'm interested in. And I pulled

518
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.160
a couple of cards out in this one particular instance,

519
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:29.920
I don't remember the specifics, and I asked the person

520
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.519
what they wanted, and honestly, they set a number that

521
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.400
was was low. And because one of the cards was

522
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:39.599
like a variation and they weren't aware of it, and

523
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:42.240
I'm like, you know, this one's a varia. I could

524
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.000
have just took my money out of my pocket, ripped,

525
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:49.200
you know, paid them and then but I wasn't comfortable.

526
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.160
That's not how I sleep and I'm like, listen, I

527
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.039
think you don't realize this one an sp variation. It's

528
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:59.400
worth a little bit. I'm so interested, but by by

529
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.720
all means you're offers more than fair. But I'll you know,

530
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.000
I forgot what they said. They might have asked for

531
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.519
like forty bucks, and I'm like, I'm gonna give you

532
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.279
like seventy five if that's still good. But here's why,

533
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.519
because this was a variation. Did you know that they

534
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:17.599
were Honestly, no, I didn't. I thanks for telling me

535
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:20.160
you didn't. You could have just, you know, paid me

536
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:23.240
what I said, and I could have. I could have

537
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.119
and not even done anything wrong. It wouldn't have made

538
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.000
me a bad guy. But I just didn't want to

539
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:32.599
be that guy at the end of the day when

540
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.279
my head hits the pillow. So I wanted them to

541
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:38.240
know what they had for sure. And I still paid

542
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.000
a fair price that they weren't even happier with because

543
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:43.839
they were going to take forty thirty forty dollars less,

544
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:46.559
it was still a price where I can as a

545
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:50.000
reseller for those particular items, I have enough room to

546
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:53.599
move and do it on that side of the table.

547
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:55.519
So it was a win. Win, but it could have

548
00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:58.279
been a bigger win for me. I just I don't

549
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:02.279
I don't really like operating on that, you know, on

550
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:05.440
those terms. But you know, and that's the thing with

551
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:08.720
the newer stuff, guys, I don't even know everything, and

552
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:12.119
I'm doing shows once or twice a month, you know,

553
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:17.039
with with variation short prints and super short prints and

554
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.359
all that stuff. So it's hard to keep up with

555
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:25.480
all the new releases. And abow the piggyback off your point, right.

556
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:28.119
I hate to say this because it's one of the

557
00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:30.519
most fun things you can do in the hobby is

558
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.039
open packs of cards, whether that's just packs, a box,

559
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:37.359
a case. But the prices of wax, as you illustrated,

560
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.759
are just insane now, and it generally it's generally gonna

561
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.039
be a losing proposition. You better enjoy opening the packs

562
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.599
because when all the smoke settles in the dust clears,

563
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.359
you probably spent more than what you pulled out of

564
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:55.400
the packs. So you better enjoy the ride while you're

565
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.559
on it, because when the ride stops, it's probably over

566
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:04.440
and you're gonna it's generally losing U propositions, So you know,

567
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:07.720
but they can do that because breaking has has saved

568
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.200
the Waxton. I remember time. You guys probably do too.

569
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.920
When Waxton sellouts, it would collect dust. They would be

570
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:21.200
at a wholesale plate on a palette, and I go

571
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:24.400
in there during my store days and the wholesaler is like, newman,

572
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.279
I got this stuff's collecting dust. I'll give you a

573
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:29.480
hell of a price on it, just you know, five

574
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:31.880
bucks a box. Get it out of here. And and

575
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.799
those days are gone because I don't care what they

576
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.279
make pickleball cards, they make bowling cards. You put it

577
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:41.279
into a breaker's hands and they set up a break.

578
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.240
People are gonna buy in just then because it's gonna

579
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:46.279
there's gonna be a one to one. There's gonna be

580
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:49.119
a gold auto, there's gonna be a super fractor. There's

581
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:53.000
gonna be this shiny bling bling and people it's like

582
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:56.319
you say, it's it's gambling. People want to hit, you know,

583
00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:59.039
the same reason we go to People go to casinos

584
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.559
and all the l and whistles and the chance that

585
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:05.039
the the lights and buzzers go off when I pulled

586
00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:07.880
it down the hand down on the slot machine, and

587
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:10.680
everyone is gonna see me, and I'm a big winner,

588
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:12.799
a right look at me I gotta get this big

589
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:17.480
check and be on the casino website. Picture me right,

590
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:21.519
we have the card. We have the card version of

591
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:24.960
that with opening wax and buying into break and not

592
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:27.960
everyone gets that big check in their face on the

593
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:32.839
top's website, you know, or the social media uh and

594
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:36.680
and chances are more often than not you're gonna take

595
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:39.559
it on the chin for what you've bought into and

596
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:41.440
what you get out of it. And I get it.

597
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.400
Gambling is legal in most places, and this is just

598
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:49.319
another version of it. But know that going in. If

599
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:51.839
you know that going in and you spend what you're

600
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:55.640
capable of spending without like more for you know, for

601
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:58.599
closing on your house, then I guess have fun. But

602
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:01.599
sometimes that does that isn't always the case.

603
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.000
Well, you were talking about that one thing that we

604
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:08.079
got this year that turn for and we have the answer. Kabooms.

605
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:12.720
They are cover Room laughing.

606
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:16.119
Just because no, it's cool and I like the determined.

607
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:20.279
I'm just laughing because determined. It's because NASCAR didn't like that.

608
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:22.920
You know, the term kaboom when it goes to cars

609
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:23.440
and stuff.

610
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.559
So we got cover Room and you know, it's a

611
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:30.319
ten box case and I think you get a upper case.

612
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:31.119
I can't remember how.

613
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:34.119
Many they different room card.

614
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:36.839
But are they like are they like the boy? Are

615
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:39.640
they like the on the sticking ball side? As you say?

616
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:41.839
Are they patterned after after that?

617
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:44.079
Yeah, it's the image of the of the car, not

618
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:47.039
the driver of the car. Like I it's ten box,

619
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:48.880
you're gonna get a doud boxes.

620
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:55.400
So yeah, nut boxes. There's no such thing as a so.

621
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:56.839
It's one of the things that we get. It's a

622
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.240
four card boxes less thon you get for national two

623
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:01.759
autold men and a base.

624
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.000
Yeah, right, guys, that's a good segue. Let's let's let's

625
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:10.400
talk about racing. Nascard Radio is your YouTube channel where

626
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:13.519
you do your podcast. How long has it been You're

627
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:16.359
You're right there, I think with this podcast in terms

628
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:19.400
of you're pretty close. If not long, I got I'm

629
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:25.000
more tracks. Yes, pretty close. I'm November of twenty eighteen

630
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:28.480
with this show. So I got a four month head start.

631
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.799
They started the race and I ran out four months ahead.

632
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:35.440
But use more racing terms. But yeah, you know, and

633
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.400
and listen, we all all three of us know in

634
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.680
podcast terms that that's a long time man. Six seven

635
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.200
years is a long time. To look. You look at

636
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:48.839
the side of the road and see podcasts that started

637
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.480
and are now ended. Right, it's and and got you know,

638
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:55.160
it's not easy to do them. It takes a lot

639
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:57.920
of work. It can be grind and so I don't

640
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.319
I want to give credit where credits do where credits

641
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:05.039
do right, But it's hard to maintain and be consistent too.

642
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:09.160
So hats off to you guys for you know, six

643
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:13.480
years now almost or yeah, six years and as you're

644
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:17.880
approaching and almost seven and uh you know, and uh

645
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.400
when you know, anytime someone asked me anything racing related,

646
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.640
I always direct them to you guys and your show.

647
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:30.519
You guys are to me are the faces of and

648
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.759
again not the paint in the one corner, because you

649
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.359
know other stuff, but you really know that stuff more.

650
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:41.119
I don't know, well, I know very little. I know

651
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:45.359
a little bit, but I think you guys know more

652
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:49.400
sticking balls for us and I know racing going back

653
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.559
the other way. So I always send them your way,

654
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:57.079
and so kudos. I'm approaching seven years, you know, just

655
00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:59.119
kind of you know, we talk a little bit about

656
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:02.680
the sticking balls date of the hobby. You know, where

657
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:05.559
are we with the racing side. I want to just

658
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:09.039
see NASCAR. You got other F one and other forms

659
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:12.599
of racing. Where what is the state of the racing

660
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:14.320
hobby as we speak.

661
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:17.159
I think the racing hobby, as far as the hobby

662
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:21.280
part of racing is, it's doing pretty well. I mean

663
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:23.960
this year we were actually able to get all of

664
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:28.039
our card issues in within the calendar year, which we're

665
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:31.119
finally getting caught up from the pandemic. So I will

666
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:34.440
give a golf clap to Panini on getting that done,

667
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.039
because that has been something I have been preaching about

668
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:39.440
on the show like you would not believe.

669
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:42.119
So I'm very happy to see that. We've got a

670
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:43.000
lot of cool releases.

671
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:46.079
Of course, we have our own Prism National Treasures, we

672
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:48.880
have our donners Base. This year we got a new

673
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:52.079
release called Turn four like Val was talking about, and

674
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.239
then we've got Select. So we only have five things

675
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:57.079
every year. It's like a five dollars foot long. It's

676
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:59.480
not like all the sticking balls sports where there's something

677
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:02.400
new every week. Oh my god, there's I've talked about

678
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:05.559
it a million times. There is no way I think

679
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:07.000
I could keep up with all that.

680
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.239
It's just so much, guys, I do I set up

681
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:12.760
at one or two shows a month. Now I'm more

682
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.239
of a vintage guy, so I don't open a ton

683
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:18.840
of the new stuff anymore. I used to, uh maybe

684
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:22.639
some years back. But it's hard to keep up. I'm

685
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:26.199
being handed stuff at my table to look at, and

686
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:29.920
I'm not gonna lie. I don't know. I know, probably

687
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.559
a good percentage, but once in my hand. But every

688
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:34.440
once in a while, I'll have to ask somebody like

689
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.119
I gotta I gotta ask you what is this? Where

690
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:38.559
did it come from? Give me the back?

691
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:39.159
Uh?

692
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:42.280
Here? And uh, you know, I never would beat I

693
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.440
never would have to say that, But now there's just

694
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.480
so much stuff you can't keep up with it. Oh

695
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:50.599
and I'm not I would know. Years ago, i'd be

696
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:52.760
embarrassed to ask somebody, hey, what's this?

697
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:53.519
Because you know it?

698
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:56.480
He said. But there's just so much coming out at

699
00:35:56.519 --> 00:35:59.840
such a faster clip val the logan that there's no way.

700
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:02.800
I don't care how on top of you are, You're

701
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:05.239
just not going to know everything. And so every once

702
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:07.239
in a while I have to ask somebody, Hey, what

703
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:11.039
is this, what's the what's the story? You know? Could

704
00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:14.639
I google it? Sure? But I'd rather ask them and uh,

705
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:17.440
you know, I could also cross reference and check to

706
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:19.519
see if they're telling me, but I think most nine

707
00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.119
times out of ten people will tell you what it is,

708
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:24.679
what the odds and know what about it that sort

709
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:27.440
of thing. So, but yeah, it's hard to keep up. So,

710
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.039
you know, having the five lines, now, do you guys,

711
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:34.880
do you try to open some at least some of everything.

712
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:36.880
Or not as Yeah, we do, don't we downd Yeah

713
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:37.480
we do.

714
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:41.320
It's nice with the fire release or NASCAR Indy Car

715
00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:45.320
has two releases from Parkside and then F one has

716
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:48.360
releases with five and then all of three of those

717
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:51.280
have on demand as well. I think the good good

718
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:53.960
mix there. It's not again we kind of emocialize the

719
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:56.320
nast cuff like that. But so, you know, open and

720
00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:59.599
wax not too crazy with you know, coming out everyone.

721
00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:01.840
And I know they've kind of logan and mentioned about

722
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:04.599
trying to push and get all five in Panini's the

723
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:07.280
primary or NASCAR for NASCAR moving stuff around, trying to

724
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:09.880
get all stuff. But luckily it came it came down

725
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:12.400
to the wire there twenty twenty five before we got

726
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:13.199
at our high end.

727
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:14.360
Yeah, and and.

728
00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:16.360
Not only that this year we're we're blessed with a

729
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:19.840
great rookie class driver that's on top of that class.

730
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.599
His name is Connor Zillage and he was in the

731
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:25.800
Xfinity Series this year. He's moving up to the Cup

732
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:29.920
Series next year. But his cards are going for what

733
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:34.639
we consider astronomical prices, you know, like what bounced at

734
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:36.960
forty three hundred dollars for his one of one National

735
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:40.840
Treasurer's autograph card. But uh, you know, it's not like

736
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:44.360
it's not like the five to six seven figure stuff

737
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:45.840
that we're seeing in the other sports.

738
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:47.320
And I'm thankful for.

739
00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:50.920
It, yeah, for sure, for sure because it makes it

740
00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:55.119
a little bit more affordable, right to enjoy that aspect

741
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:58.519
of the hobby, no doubt. And uh you know again,

742
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:01.239
you guys are were in the same age bracket, are

743
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:04.039
pretty close, right. We grew up in an error even

744
00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:07.159
in sports card right where whoever the player was, they

745
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:10.239
pretty much had one one rookie card at most three,

746
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:13.840
right if you had Tops, Fleer and Donors. But before

747
00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:15.679
the even the other two came along, you had a

748
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:18.280
Tops rookie card. Now that was it. It was easier.

749
00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:20.639
You didn't have to ask, like what's the best card?

750
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:24.800
To get of this particular athlete. Right now, they can

751
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:28.519
have seven hundred different Rookie cards, like, choose your weapon

752
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:31.039
and try to do it in the next week or two.

753
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:34.880
After you do, do all the analysis and break down

754
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:39.159
all the data and all that, right, I appreciate the

755
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:41.679
times that I grew up in when you didn't have

756
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:45.280
to worry about what card, right, it was kind of

757
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:48.719
the card get as many of those, you know, growing

758
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.599
up in New York City and chasing madly rookie. You

759
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:54.440
had three of them, right, you had the Tops, the Donors,

760
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:57.039
and the Fleer. You might have a favorite one. Mine

761
00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:00.159
was the Donors, but I was happy with any of

762
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:02.760
the all, any of the three when I opened that

763
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:07.639
particular brand's packs and hit a Manly Rookie. Now, if

764
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:11.719
Manly played today, you'd have seven hundred different rookie cards

765
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.440
and who knows which one you'd like, But it's just

766
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:18.440
a blur, right, it'd just be like and some of that,

767
00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:21.000
I think is why it's become sort of a shell

768
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:25.519
game with money, because there's no attachment, there's no loyalty

769
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:28.320
to a brand. You know, when when we grew up, guys,

770
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:31.480
we had three brands, right, and and and Tops. They

771
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:35.559
didn't really make different lines, right, it was Tops flagship,

772
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.760
it was Donorous flagship, it was Flear for there was

773
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:41.920
no Flear at that point, no other lines off the

774
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:46.079
brands like we now. And I think, well, that's nice,

775
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:49.320
because you know, there's pluses and minus to that. You

776
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:53.920
get more designs and more more choices. There's there's minuses too,

777
00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:57.039
because it just becomes a blur, and it just becomes

778
00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.000
like you guys were saying earlier, right, what's this word?

779
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:02.760
It's not you pull something out of a pack and

780
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:05.920
the kid's not glad he got it. But like the

781
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.519
first question is what's this we'll go for? You know? Now?

782
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:13.000
Oh it's fifty bucks, it's one hundred bucks. Oh that's awesome,

783
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.199
Not like, hey, he's my favorite player. I just saw

784
00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:18.360
him play the other night. Would you see that home

785
00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:22.960
run or touchdown? You know that he scored? Like you know? Now,

786
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:27.039
it's just, hey, what's the intrinsic value built in to

787
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:30.079
this piece of cardboard or chrome? And so you know,

788
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:32.679
maybe maybe I'm the old man on the porch. Not

789
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:36.199
the first time I'd be accused of that, but I'm

790
00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:39.880
sort of glad I grew up with those days of

791
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:43.199
the hobby because I appreciate I appreciate those days, and

792
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:46.239
I still appreciate the hobby we have now. I may not,

793
00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:50.599
you know, agree with everything, I still appreciate that the

794
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:53.039
hobby's still here. It's the greatest hobby in the world.

795
00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:56.599
And you know, you just sometimes we have to adapt,

796
00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:59.079
and hey, if we don't want to partake in that,

797
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:02.039
you know, I don't don't open whax like I used to.

798
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:05.760
That's how I've evolved and adapted and change, right. Uh

799
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:11.719
you know, for for you, Logan, you stop collecting and uh,

800
00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:13.880
you know, the stick and ball sports like you said

801
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:16.639
ninety one and then went to the racing side. Nothing

802
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:20.679
wrong with that, right, Just what you where your passion

803
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:24.440
led you and and and there's no wrong answer really,

804
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:27.840
but you know, it's kind of to each their own.

805
00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:30.400
But I guess, going back to an earlier point, I

806
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:34.880
guess I appreciate people who also keep cards, who put

807
00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:38.039
them on their desk, who have them behind them, who

808
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:41.159
if someone comes over, can show a card and say

809
00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:43.800
why it's their favorite or why they love it, or

810
00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:47.639
why that athlete means so much to that. But I

811
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:50.360
just fear like some of that those days are you

812
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:54.559
know it's we're dying out as they Yeah, they are.

813
00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:58.440
