Listen "$115 Megas at the Ballpark?! Wall of 50 Slabs, and Hobby Hot Takes"
Episode Synopsis
The National is in the rear-view, but we’re fired up, redesigning the studio, and kicking off something special — our Wall of 50 Slabbed Cards. Twenty-five cards each, all with personal meaning (not just high dollar), and we want you to roast our picks.RJ recaps a recent trip to a Diamondbacks game: great stadium vibes, cool memorabilia, but a frustrating in-stadium card buying experience. $65 blasters and $115 megas? Yikes. His “team pack” buy led to a mix of 10+ year-old paper cards and one refractor — a missed opportunity to hook young fans. But there were some wins: a game-used ball, make-your-own bobblehead, and plenty of family memories.Cards of the Week:Matt’s Pick: Davis Schneider (Blue Jays) – Big bat, big mustache, small prices right now.RJ’s Pick: (Football!) – Chicago roots show in this week’s choice…Plus, hobby talk, dad hacks, stadium gripes, and why MLB’s YouTube highlights might change the way you collect.
