More Hobby Hot Takes Discussed (Grading Ruins Look of Card? Beckett Makes Major Comeback?); Blowout Cards Issue $250K Bounty; Guessing Recent Sales of Golden Mirror Topps Series 1 Cards

EPISODE 116 - Clark, John, and Will (who returns as guest host!) talk about the $250,000 bounty issued by Blowout Cards for the first person to complete the 330-card set of the Golden Mirror image variation cards from 2023 Topps Series 1. Next, for the Hobby Headlines segment, the guys give some hobby hot takes and discuss whether they agree with any of them such as "Grading ruins the look of cards", "The National will see its attendance reduced to half within 5 years" and "Beckett Grading Services will compete head-to-head against PSA in the next few years." Then they introduce a new segment called "Sales Report" where Clark gives a list of five cards and then John and Will try to guess how much it sold for recently. The theme for this segment is Golden Mirror Image Variation cards. Lastly, they finish the show off with the regular "Pick One" segment where each host names two cards or sets, and then debate which one they would rather invest in. The pairs chosen this week include one from a listener submission: Anthony Davis Panini Prizm rookie card vs. Kawhi Leonard Panini Prizm rookie card; Mike Trout 2011 Topps Update (BGS 10) vs. Shohei Ohtani 2018 Topps Chrome Sapphire (PSA 10); Luis Robert Bowman Chrome Refractor /499 vs. Bo Bichette Bowman Chrome Refractor /499. -------------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!
