Bowman Chrome, also got way better year over year.

Bowman Chrome, by the way, from a break standpoint, has been brutal for the last four years.

Garbage checklist, watered down too expensive. All right, guys, back Thursday's show, solo host today. Jesse's taking the day off, so I'll be running this one solo. And then we got that Sasquatch guy whose name, by the way, we've blown this guy off twice now and messaged him and texted him 15 times. We still don't have his name. So we're just going to refer to him as Sasquatch. He's going to give us like a wax breakdown. He's a really cool Twitter handle, X handle, whatever it is now, that he does like kind of the breakdown of hits, the odds, how many autos are there? What's the price per auto? So he did that with Bowman's best. And that caught my eye. So I want to kind of see him deal with a couple different things and see. A couple of things, too. I want to talk about the singles flip.

Like we've been doing this, we're going really, really heavy and time wise, quite a bit of my time into this whole single side of things again. I do want to talk about that. I want to a quick update on some of my thoughts on this whatnot story, at least a little bit. I do want to dive in. We won't spend a ton of time on that, but I do want to talk a little bit more about the fraud and the actual accountability side of that. And I was getting quick tops football, a couple of remarks on that as well. Anyways, first off, those two brought to you by eBay Live. We did our first midweek, so we're going to start, I kind of mentioned this last week. Because of the volume, we're moving on Sunday nights. We're going to leave Sunday night on eBay Live to really be the big night of, like, high-end, mid-to-high-end singles. So very few cards under $50, and the majority of cards, a couple hundred up to a couple thousand. just seems like the vibe is like, hey, let's keep the room moving with like the nice stuff, the bigger cards. People tend to like that. So we're going to do that. So last night, I did our first midweek show. I think we sold five cards over $100. The goal was like, hey, and we did for the first time actually ever on live selling. I did sudden death auctions. I will say it was kind of good and bad. Like a lot of stuff went really, really cheap, which quite frankly on the cheap stuff, the stuff on Wednesday nights is not like the profit center anyways. This is more like, hey, let's get some new people and let's drive some attention. I think the fact that a lot of things last night went for cheap is actually a good thing. I think it kind of will help to get more people in. I'm just going to use it as an opportunity

to tease like, hey, Sunday nights with a big, big show going forward. That's not going to change.

We're loaded up on inventory now, so we're really going to make a push for that. And yeah,

the buying has really increased so much. So between the buying, the consignment stuff, like the amount of people sending stuff into consignment, which is great, even that's going to have to start changing. I started telling people, hey, 50 bucks or above. Like, we don't need any more cheap stuff. And you can see over here just a portion of all the two rows and five row boxes. But it is kind of cool to see. Like we haven't really tried really making a big push for singles up until, you know, the last couple months on eBay Live. And we actually just got our numbers for February. Did like, I think it was just about 70,000 bucks in single sales over there, which again is small potatoes for some people. For me, that's a huge little supplemental piece of just singles. So it was kind of cool to see. I did want to talk about the eBay Live, like I said, host the show, title sponsored all that stuff. They've been great to deal with. They've been awesome for kind of reinvigorating the whole single side of things. I did want to talk about that, though. A lot of people, even in the mailback that I asked about different things with, with singles and, hey, the flipping, even some thought of, hey, if repacks really start getting cracked down on because of this lawsuit, which we're a couple days after that. I don't know how significant those changes will be or how serious and how quickly it'll even happen. So my theory is, hey, let's just push with the singles. And so we start getting a lot of questions. I get emails about this too when some people have approached me recently of, hey, how do you get into like the flip? Because it used to be very simple, buy grade flip. Well, grading is very, very difficult to do right now. Like PSA is a huge sponsor of ours.

We work with PSA.

We love them.

They've been great to us.

But, you know, the president, Ryan, came on here and told us, hey, don't send stuff in right now. If you're not willing to wait months and months for it, we're very backed up. It's just the reality of the situation. And so it makes the singles game if you're buying to flip just a little bit difficult to navigate.

Now, if you're buying to flip, just a little bit difficult to navigate. Now, if you're buying stuff right now for next season or guys who are going to pop, you know, second half of the baseball season, if you're, I mean, maybe football. If you're going to do football, you've got to get it in right now. So you have it back kind of in that August window, August, September. But two things that really stood out to me. Because I, again, I do get that question a lot of, hey, how do you kind of build a singles following? How do I make this thing work? And really, there's actually three aspects of it. Number one, as you buy, I'm trying to think of how I actually want to phrase this. I would say 90% of this, that's over, over estimating it, 75% of this has to do with how you are buying cards.

So a couple things.

Buy things that are easy to sell.

Like that sounds like the simplest thing in the world, but the amount of people you see on

Facebook and Instagram posting a third tier guy, but it's an unbelievable card.

Like a good example that I was scrolling Facebook today looking for singles. A guy had a

Matt Olson, game used bat knob, one of one auto, unbelievable piece. Okay, a couple things. Number one, it's very expensive. I think it was $1,000 or $1,500. Right off the bat, at that price point, if you're looking to be liquid and move, stuff, and flip, you've priced a ton of people out. Number two, Matt Olson is not a household name. So in the buying process, be selective, especially when you start up. Again, I have a little bit more leeway where I'm at now because I have a big following and a big audience already. So that helps. That kind of covers a lot of sins because quite frankly, I can just buy a bunch of stuff that maybe other people wouldn't. But to break it down to more general principles, be selective when buying and don't be afraid to walk away. Like that's the other thing I see so many guys are just so desperate now. Like I got to make a deal. Sometimes the best, again, another stupid saying that it's not. It's a simple saying, but it holds true very, very often. Like sometimes the best deal is not making a deal. Like, hey, this lot is $5,000. There's all these cards. It's going to be kind of tough to move. There's not recent comps on some of the stuff. I maybe could grade my way out, but PSA's really backed up. I don't know. Okay, well, number one, you get tied up a ton of capital. Maybe that's all your working capital. For what? Like, you may waste some time and, hey, we went through all these things. I comped
