Cooper Flagg 1/1 Pulled: Is a $3 Million Bounty Too Low? | Talking Shop Ep. 203

The Cooper Flagg 1/1 Rookie Debut Patch Autograph has finally been pulled — and somehow finding the card may only be the beginning of the story.Alt has already opened a public bounty auction for a card it doesn't even have yet, allowing verified buyers to establish what they're willing to pay if the owner eventually consigns it. Michael and Josh break down whether that's brilliant price discovery or walking dangerously close to the line, how long the owner should hold, and why Josh thinks this card could ultimately command $5–6 million or more.Then we get into the rest of a very weird week in collecting:Pokémon is using facial recognition in Japan to enforce purchase limits — and Josh explains why, from a card-shop owner's perspective, limits matter more than collectors may realize.Disney turned a Mickey Mouse stadium giveaway into a real-life pack rip by randomly making 1 out of every 10 bobbleheads a gold chase variant.Topps is putting actual 24-karat gold into its Premier League chase cards.And Magic: The Gathering | The Hobbit gives us an excuse to talk Middle-earth, release-day demand, Collector Boosters and what actually makes Magic cards valuable.Plus: what's new at Grand Slam, the return of licensed Topps Flagship Football, and Josh tries to stump Michael with this week's Crazy Stat.Because every card has a story.#CooperFlagg #SportsCards #TalkingShop
