Hobby Trend Observations from Local Card Show; Examining Whether Five MLB Players Off to Hot Starts Are Worth Investing In; Are Marvel Cards or F1 Cards a Fad?

EPISODE 49 - Clark, John, and Hyung talk about their recent experience setting up at a live local card show and discuss what hobby trends they observed. Then for the Hobby Headlines segment, they talked about five MLB players off to hot starts and whether they're buying, selling or fading their rookie cards. The players include: Alex Bregman / Steven Kwan / Luis Robert / Giancarlo Stanton / Clayton Kershaw. The guys then play "Fast Five" and go through another list of five players – this time in the NBA – who could make an impact in the playoffs. But are their cards worth buying into now or are the prices at its peak already. The players they discuss in this segment include: Ja Morant / Anthony Edwards / Kyrie Irving / Joel Embiid / Jayson Tatum. They finish off the show with the weekly Pick One segment (Hot Takes Edition) where they give two hobby hot takes and then debate on which one is likelier to happen. This week's Pick One pairs include: Bo Bichette is a better investment than Vladimir Guerrero Jr. vs. Bryce Harper is a better investment than Juan Soto; Brooklyn Nets are overrated and aren't gonna win jack vs. The Grizzlies are overrated and aren't gonna win jack; and Marvel Cards are a fad vs. F1 cards are a fad.
