Summary

Mike dropped $50,000 cash on a massive sports card collection to stock up for eBay Live and barely looked through it before buying. In this episode of Sports Cards Nonsense Mike and Jesse are joined by Shep as Mike breaks down the deal, how he fit 20,000+ cards into a Suburban, and the huge hidden gems he found including WNBA Prizm and NFL quarterbacks. Plus, the guys discuss the major news from the Topps/Fanatics town hall where they announced they are effectively closing applications for new card shops unless they are already in the process. We debate if this move is truly "doing right by the collector" or if it is hurting new businesses. We also react to the latest updates from PSA President Ryan Hoge regarding the future of SGC and Beckett. The guys also debate the benefits of shared "Pop Report Hygiene" to fix population counts and argue why cross-over grading standards need to change immediately. Then, we tackle the controversy from the Dallas Card Show involving Beckett’s new $65 raw review fee and discuss if it is a strategic move to create "Price Quality Bias". Finally, Jesse rips open the new Arena Club Disney packs live on the show hunting for a grail and hitting an Enchanted card. Plus, we tease some massive high-end cards coming up for our "Big Game" auction. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
