Value Shaming Debate + Are Collectors Thinking About Cards Wrong? + Fanatics NYC Behind the Scenes

Jeremy Lee is joined by David Chase to kick off the show, before welcoming Jeremy “Texas Snowman” Donson of Collector Investor Auctions. The episode begins with Jeremy sharing his experience traveling to New York City to broadcast live from the Fanatics Collect studio, offering a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like operating in a completely different environment and how the show evolved in that setting. The conversation then shifts into one of the hobby’s more polarizing topics right now… value. Is talking about card value a problem? Why does it trigger some collectors? And where should the balance really be between passion and price? With perspectives from both collector and dealer lenses, the discussion explores how different mindsets shape the way we buy, hold, and think about our cards, while also touching on auction dynamics, buying behavior, and the role value plays across the spectrum.
