Summary

It’s a packed week in the hobby. Chris Sewall, the Baseball Card Collector, Investor, Dealer, joins Jesse Gibson and Mike Gioseffi to share stories from the buying side of the business, including his $3,000 purchase of a 3-million card collection that ended up being a money loser, and what lessons he took away from it. He also breaks down the most common types of sellers he encounters and how bulk collections get valued. On the release side, Bowman Chrome is back and after several down years, this year looks loaded. The crew also covers the Disney Topps Chrome drop, featuring autos like Tim Allen and Chris Evans as Buzz Lightyear, and Sully from Monsters Inc. And as always, they dig into the mailbag: Is Topps Finest Basketball overpriced? What’s the outlook for ultimate card collecting rooms? And, we'll be breaking with DCSports87 next Monday, which you won't want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Last night was a great Theo moment where we had Nate and Carr at the house. My parents having dinner and after dinner, I'm like, I'll let the kid run around the living and play a little bit. He's playing with this big truck he's got. And then all of a sudden I'm like, oh, dude, you're like mud on the tires? What is this? Savage blowout. No. To the point, very's very similar to what I think just happened on the other side of this table. I had to take him up and literally, I took him right in the walk and shower with me and just hosed him down. Oh, that's what you got to do. Crap on the floor, on the stairs. Dude. And his new thing is, I pooped. He's pumped about it. So There you go. If you were in the office office, you know I'm starting with that story. If you're not, you can use your imaginations and make it more foul than anything you've ever think. We were just talking about, like, kids being kids, you know. Shane and Sierra came over on Saturday and they brought their baby. He also had a blow out. And it went, like, through diaper and clothes. And it just, apparently I missed it. There was, uh, it was a whole scene. It was a, it was a real baby fiasco this week. And for everybody, it sounds like. Baby extravaganza. Um, when do I think I started making baby cards? That's your show, folks. Gerber baby cards. I think they get a Gerber baby sponsor.

Actually, I don't use Gerber though.

Hannah just cook some food.

1:32.8

I don't think we did that like very, for a very short period of time.

1:36.4

I think Sam ate more of it than Charlie ever did.

1:39.3

She likes baby food.

1:40.9

It's weird.

1:41.6

I don't like it.

1:42.3

I don't understand anything that happens in your family.

1:44.4

The whole thing is just whacked.

1:46.4

You don't want to taste what your baby's eaten?

1:48.4

What if it doesn't eat them?

1:49.6

Well, there you go. You don't have to worry about it. But Charlie was eating me either. She decided she needed to taste it, so that's fine. Leave her alone. Do you have any topics that you want me to run with it?

1:56.7

Samantha Hound Tooth is a saint.

1:58.2

I know you said you want me to go a little heavy to which I can?

2:01.0

Well, we've got, what, 17 minutes before our guest gets here.
