On today’s podcast we talk about a piece I put up about 2011 Topps & Panini football box prices. I wanted to take a look back and see what boxes were selling for over & above wholesale cost.
There were several new releases over the last few weeks, and I thought it would be cool to [...]

Today on the program we are joined by www.cardshopfinder.com and we talk about the website and recently released Android Mobile Application. Be sure to check out the website or mobile app the next time you are searching for a card store in your area. I think this is perfect if you are traveling and want [...]

Today on the podcast we are re-joined by Doug from Mojobreak.com where he talks about being a 1st time attendee at the 2012 Las Vegas Industry Summit. We had a great time in Las Vegas and hopefully we can catch up with Dan and Doug at next years event.
I also briefly touch on how our [...]

On this weeks show, Ryan breaks down all the happenings at the 2012 Las Vegas Industry Summit. This is a 3-hour podcast … so settle in for a long dose of the Sports Card Show this week.
For complete show notes and other items related to the Indus…

It seems like just yesterday we were in Las Vegas for the Industry Summit … that’s how fast a year goes! We are less than 1 month away from when we venture into sin city for another year of fun and sports card information. I give you the entire schedule + some additional comments you [...]

Today on the podcast we discuss a selling strategy that might be far more feasible if you want to compete online. While most of our discussion has revolved around selling boxes/singles – selling sports card supplies might actually be far more profitable. Not only is competition less, but the amount of inventory needed to start [...]

It’s a new year and you know what that means! New Year’s Resolutions!
Seems like we’ve talked about some of these many times before, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease… or however that metaphor goes.
We also talk about some of the new sports card releases that are coming in early 2012. I also give you [...]

It was funny to see all the stories about how Chris Paul got traded twice last week to a Los Angeles team … he ended up in the Clippers. Speaking of the Clippers, they had a total team makeover from last season when they relied heavily on Eric Gordon (when healthy) and Blake Griffin to [...]

Today we are very excited to have Sean from Rancho Bernardo Sports Cards & Hobby join us to talk about starting his card store in Southern California – and the types of things he’s learned recently in the business. I highly recommend you tuning in – especially if you would like to open your own [...]

The holiday season is just around the corner, so we do a little Buy – Sell – Hold today with some athletes.
I actually make some ’sell’ calls that go against the popular opinion of many. I would be selling Matt Forte, Mark Ingram, Cam Newton, and probably every 2011 NFL rookie right now – because [...]

What company should you send your cards in to be graded? What kinds of cards should you send in to be graded? How much does it cost? We answer all these questions and more this week on the podcast.
I’ve talked about grading cards before, but it’s been a while. I don’t think my tune has [...]

On this weeks show, we start out with a great idea from a listener for Halloween. Before you give kids candy that will make them fat and have cavities, give them sports cards!! Grab all the extra cards you have laying around the house (if you are like me they are on the floor) and [...]

Some exciting things going on in the sports card world this week. After week #1 Cam Newton has some 2011 Topps Finest Football SuperFractors selling for thousands! Also – Panini announced they have got a MLBPA license, allowing them to make baseball cards, without the use of team logos/uniforms. It should be pretty exciting to [...]

We took a month away from the podcast to re-charge the batteries & we’ll talk about how you can do the same for a stale collection you might be sitting on.
In every collectors lifetime – we reach the point where we’ve grown tired of what we are collecting, or we just [...]
