EPISODE 265 - If you want more hobby news, top auction listings, podcast episode details, contest giveaways and more, sign up for our free newsletter here now publishing weekly!
Clark and John start the show by guessing how much the LeBron James Ultimate Collection rookie autograph card /250 (BGS Black Label) will go for in the Goldin Elite Auction. Then they discuss whether whatever it sells for is a good indicator of the state of the current hobby market.
Then for "Hobby Headlines," Clark goes through the list of the most graded cards by PSA in 2024 (with six of the top 10 held by one basketball player.) Afterwards, they talk about whether the players on the list will have their cards graded just as much in 2025 or whether new players will crack the top 10 this year.
Next, they play a round of "Buy/Sell/Hold" where Clark gives a list of five basketball cards at current prices, and then asks whether John would buy, sell, or hold that card at the last sold price.
Lastly, they end the show with "Pick 1" where they both debate on each other's 1v1, choosing which one they would rather invest in.
