In this jam-packed episode, Matthew from @mattscardshop joins me to break down the last 12 months of the hobby — his biggest buying/selling/flipping moves, the shows he hit, and what’s sitting in those boxes right now!

We go deep on the Houston Rockets: my impressions, the prospects you need to be buying or selling, Ryan from Gemrate calling KD an undervalued prospect (what are our thoughts?), KD Topps Now, and the latest market cap trends.

“Did You Know?” — the LeBron James stat that dropped jaws on the show… you’ll have to listen to believe it!

Matthew opens up about his “ethical dealer” approach — the times he’s told sellers they’re under comps and actually topped them up (I’ve seen the videos and experienced it myself). Real talk on buying tactics that build trust.

We also cover:
• Topps/Fanatics takeover — my honest observations after a full year
• Whatnot breaker crashouts — why it’s happening nonstop + my take on the Whatnot lawsuit

Plus we each pick one current NBA player we’re locked in on right now. I’m obsessed with Wemby (after my recent Hakeem vs Wemby breakdown) and we talk Kon Knueppel’s insane hobby ascension.

Market tips, hot takes, and zero fluff — this is the one you don’t want to miss if you’re in the NBA card game!

This week Joe Foo (@ShaqFoo32) joins the show and we go deep:

• Bam Adebayo’s manufactured 83-point explosion – intentional fouling, stat-padding, and why the boos in LA were actually kinda hilarious
• Buying collections, buying and selling tips.
• Why this 2025 rookie class is surprisingly strong: Kon Knueppel stealing ROY, VJ Edgecombe, Dylan Harper, Derek Queen + Hornets actually competing
• Joe’s future NBA team plan: Vegas expansion baby (logo + fresh start + betting angle)

We also touch on sports betting side hustle truths, and why the mid-season doldrums need moments like this.

Absolute vibe chat – enjoy!
