Fanatics Fest Hype: Genuine or Sponsored? + The National Is Coming

Fanatics Fest dominates the conversation as we explore why the event has become one of the hobby's biggest success stories, while also asking important questions about content creation, transparency, and influencer relationships. Are creators being compensated to promote the event? Does it matter if travel or media access is provided? We discuss where the line should be drawn, why disclosure matters, and how Fanatics Fest and The National are serving two very different audiences. Plus, Josh Adams joins the conversation as excitement builds for another National Sports Collectors Convention, and we look ahead to one of the biggest stretches on the hobby calendar. 📖 Get your copy of Pops & Comps and discover the psychology behind the sports card market. 🧭 Take the Hobby Spectrum Assessment and discover your unique collecting profile.
