Two T206 Wagners, One Market + Card Show Geography Wars + The Slam Score Question

Part 2 of Episode 300 brings Leighton Sheldon into the mix and the conversation immediately jumps into rare territory. Two T206 Honus Wagner cards are set to hit the auction market at the same time, something most collectors will never see in their lifetime. We break down how that happens, why one will almost certainly outsell the other, and whether simultaneous offerings actually hurt or help the market. From there, the focus shifts to card shows and expansion. The Dallas Card Show is heading to New Jersey, and that raises a bigger question. What actually makes a card show succeed in a market that has failed before? Location, vendors, buyers, travel radius, brand power, and even food all come into play. The panel digs into why some shows flourish while others fade. Then the conversation turns to liquidity and data as Mantle introduces its new Slam Score. Is it a useful tool for collectors, a metric for operators, or just another number in a hobby already full of them? We debate momentum, fundamentals, eye appeal, and whether liquidity can ever be captured cleanly in a single score. Drop a comment with your prediction. Which Wagner sells for more and why? If you run tables or attend shows, what makes a show worth traveling for? Let us know if you would ever use a Slam Score when buying or selling a card.
