Summary

Bowman's Best takes center stage as Mike explains why it’s one of his favorite products every year, why this year’s release may actually rise in price after launch, and which names collectors should be watching. Later, Joe Wysmierski of Sports Card Confessions joins for a wide-ranging episode that starts with one of the all-time hobby pain stories: Joe reveals he was a Josh Rosen super collector. From there, the conversation turns into a fun and chaotic mix of hobby confessions, market takes, and the kinds of side roads only this show can take. They also get into how global events can create real card-market momentum, talk about the World Baseball Classic effect, why Shohei Ohtani still towers over almost everyone in the market, whether Juan Soto is being overlooked, and how much personality and fan connection really matter in the hobby. Plus, they dive into people scalping One Piece promo cards outside NCAA basketball games. The crew debates whether sports-only collectors should care, how big the non-sports and TCG crossover has gotten, and what that says about where the hobby is heading.

0:22.1	You got to bring a little back.
0:35.7	You cannot let Jesse go on these filibusters. You're sucking the funny out of the room. You're just over there talking. I made several. He would literally sit there. Okay. And after about 86 seconds, he would just rambling. He would finally go, no, that is a good point. And then he would start talking.
0:37.5	Rambling is me finishing us in it, by the way.
0:39.2	It's a back and force.
0:40.2	It's a dance.
0:37.5	That was the first time. He would finally go, no, that is a good point. And then he would start talking. Rambling is me finishing a sentence, by the way.

0:45.1	That's not what I signed up for. I would say.
0:45.7	That is not going to be the permanent fill in host, if that's the case.
0:48.5	I'll tell you that right now.
0:49.6	I would vote you're here all the time. Nope. I will not be here all the time. I told you I'll give you a few a month.
0:55.9	I'll not be here full time and I will not allow anybody else. That's what you perverts are getting. A few a month. We're going to talk cards. Okay. There will be interruptions.
