All right, guys, back with Thursday's episode.

Jesse is not here again, obviously up in New York, having a miserable time except for at the Mets game.

He did share some stories, interesting hotel stories.

Anyways, we got Adam Gray coming on in like 10 minutes. And then Brian Walters,

B.W. I like that I put a Brethman in my, I've had these freaking ice breakers that on my desk

like an idiot. I'm stuffing ice breakers in my mouth trying to record a podcast. So there's your

quality sound control. Adam will be here. I want to get into his top 25 on 25.

The list, a lot of you guys fill out the survey. I think that's kind of an awesome piece. And then Brian's going to join. Brian's one of our breakers over on eBay Live. They're actually doing some pretty cool case break stuff now, which I think it'll be good to talk about and kind of give some insight on. So I do want to talk about both those things. First story, though, your title is

Gio is an idiot. Shep was right. So you'll appreciate this. Some of you guys, I ragged on Shep for that

whole $168,000 Brady gaff that he just totally blew it, which is still inexcusable, by the way.

However, I was in Shep's on Tuesday. We're loading up for

this eBay Live show. I need all these different cards, all these different singles. He's got a bunch of stuff. So I was like, perfect. We're going to get a bunch of singles and different things from him. And I'm putting everything up. I got like a Griffey Flawless Auto, a couple of Cunias, some judge stuff, all this cool stuff, a nice burrow one-of-one immaculate patch auto.

And then I see a Patrick Mahomes patch auto,

Jumbo Patch Auto, A couple of cunias, some judge stuff, all this cool stuff. A nice burrow one-of-one immaculate patch auto.

And then I see a Patrick Mahomes patch auto, jumbo patch auto, three colors, PSA-9, rookie. And I was like, oh, this is like two to $2,500 bucks. Easy. He's got $900 on it. So I bring everything up.

He gives me the price.

I'm like, all right, I agree.

And I'll say, hey, by the way, I'm going to give you an extra 500 bucks.

I think this Mahomes is vastly undervalued on your sticker.

And you don't know quarterbacks because you blew it with the Brady. Fast forward to the next day, me and Big Hat Tim are over at my house uploading the eBay Live show, getting all the inventory put up. The Mahomes is not autographed, so I'm a moron. So Shep screwed the pooch with the Tom Brady, but I blew it just as hard. Cost myself an extra 500 bucks for a Mahomes card. So look at your cards and don't get overly confident like I did. That's the moral of the story. We could pretty much just leave the story there, but that's okay. So yeah, Shep, your redemption. There you go. I screwed the pooch. We'll see. The Mooms is on sale tomorrow night. Hopefully it still does a decent number. There was that also had a cool Shep story today. I had some guys come over from like the Atlanta area. They drove over. They reached out on social. So I was trying to buy some like different type of nice grail cards or whatever it was. And so I met these guys today. You'll see it on our Instagram. These two dudes were like 6-5 and 6-7. The one guy, Scotty, plays Pro Ball over in China. And I bought them a whole, the Joe Burrow N-T-R-P-A off them. It's a PSA-9, super nice card. But yeah, these two guys got out of the car, and I was just like, we're making a cash deal. Thank God I was doing it at Shep's. But I was like, you guys look like two murderers. Like literally both a foot taller than me. We took a picture of me in the middle of them. It looks like me holding my son Theo, quite frankly. But yeah, we got the borrow card as well. Shepp opened up an hour early so we could do the deal over there, which was pretty cool. So a couple little things there. Just two other things I want to mention real briefly. I do want to get into this top 25 and some NBA stuff with Adam Gray. It is interesting. I know we got some pushback from the take of like, hey, Kevin O'Leary is coming in the space, and that means big investor money and private equity money and whatever that means and it's going to be bad and whatever. I will tell you, I was talking to Burns this week. Nate Burns over at Grand Slam and I've been to Shep's multiple times this week. The high end market. And it's not just because of the O'Leary deal, but that thing has been on an upward trajectory anyways. Burns said very flat out at the West Coast show that he did last weekend. They sold more high-end cards than they've ever done at another card show. Shep was saying the same thing, like guys coming in asking for grail cards, big stuff, wanting to buy big pieces. We have seen that on the eBay live streams, like the big

stuff is doing 100% of comps or is setting a new comp, which is, I mean, quite frankly, great for

us. Joe mentioned that on the Cut the Nonsense show, like Phoenix sports cars. They're seeing
