Road to the National Ep. 4 - Iconic Cards, Real Connections & National Strategies with Adam Gray

In Episode 4 of the Road to the National series, Adam Gray (@thereal27guy), basketball card expert and content creator, joins us to reflect on why the National Sports Collectors Convention is a can’t-miss event. From friendships forged on the floor to the thrill of that one big deal, Adam shares stories, strategies, and insights into how collectors can make the most of the experience. Adam also reveals details about his upcoming “25 in 25 Iconic Cards” project—an ambitious, community-driven countdown of the most iconic cards from the first 25 years of the 21st century. We discuss how this project came together, what it means for hobby education, and how new and seasoned collectors alike can use it as a launchpad for deeper collecting. Whether you’re going to the National for the first time or the tenth, this episode offers valuable perspective on what really matters in the hobby. Learn more about your ad choices.
