Good, Bad and Ugly of Crossover Grading; Showing Hobby Love to Influencers We Follow; Debating Panini vs. Topps

EPISODE 17 - Clark, Hyung, and John recap their case break of 2021 Topps Chrome Baseball with their hobby friends – and reveal the monster hit of the night. And in the "Hobby Headlines" segment, the guys dive deep into crossover grading (ie. when you should and shouldn't do it) in light of the news of the Lebron James Exquisite Rookie Autograph Card that crossed over from BGS 9.5 Gem Mint to a PSA 10/10. In a new segment called "Hobby Shoutout," Clark, Hyung, and John give props to those who they go to in the hobby for education and/or entertainment value (such as Scott Baldwin (@scottie_b_cards on Instagram), Geoff Wilson (@sportscardinvestor) and Sasha T (@sashatamaddon). They wrap up the show with the regular "Pick One" segment where they offer two players/cards/sets, and then debate which one they'd rather invest in. This week, the Pick One pairs include: Derek Carr vs. Jimmy Garoppolo rookie cards; Panini vs. Topps; and 2021 Panini Select Basketball vs. 2021 Donruss Optic Basketball.
