Love the show - please keep it coming - I follow all of u separately but it’s awesome to see you guys all together- definitely better than an MLB short- God bless

Thanks

These videos are 🔥! I appreciate the knowledge and opinions!

This show is probably the best one out there on modern cards and collecting.

Lately been buying the dip on a number of guys with high potential - Michael Harris, Riley Greene, Gunnar, Andres Gimenez... Certainly a great time to buy while the getting is still good. 😊

Best episode so far!

Baseball off-season is great for team collectors. Getting Guardians cards at fractions of in-season costs.

Nice chat. Thumbs up and bell hit.

my old lady gives me 9 months a year without too much grief but lord dont let me spend 500 bucks on cards in the same month i spend 100 taking her to dinner for her birthday, lol. life, liberty and the pursuit to not sleep on the couch

Good show and nice thoughtful discussion 👍

To add to Philly Phills points, I would rather be buying Nolan, Freeman, Jram, Manny etc or low tier guys that had good seasons in low end markets. Nolan Jones, biased Cleveland fan, and he touched on Trout. The guy is not dead, and the sky is not that close above his head. For collectors out of reach, Trout is within range for a lot of people which is not a bad thing, those collectors are looking to spend in a down market.

okay.. i may have a thought for you guys, in regards to why Acuna prices haven't seen a drastic jump. I believe there is something to be said for the rules being changed with pitch clock and stolen bases, where i feel people feel that it's now easier to steal bases. For those reasons i think a new norm needs to be established, and it will over time. I think Jeff makes a good point that if Acuna does it again next year, then i think his prices will jump because then he has proved that he is that much better than the field. Until then, its fair to say that you cant compare Acuna vs Rickey vs Cobb or anyone else because its not apples to apples as T-Pott said. So i think time will tell but that may be a reason that might have been overlooked. thanks again for an awesome video!

You all are spot on with things you talk about. It's so nice having this to look forward to. Keep it up. Thanks

Also, congrats on the success of the podcast, it seems like viewership is up!

Junior Caminero is crushing in winter ball...don't sleep on him. I think he has a better ROI then holiday, his entry point cost us too high...per T-pott scenario with the PSA 9

This is a great conversation, guys. I really enjoyed the insight. Appreciate ya!

Keep up the great videos

Like Phil said, not the most interesting time, but a solid 1 to 2 months window for buying baseball cards.

What up T, what up Scottie B🏆🏆

I was at the Philly show this last weekend, baseball wasn’t flying like I thought it would (maybe I am wrong, I was there just Saturday). Picked up a few Acuna cards to flip before the season, but turned my attention to 2018 wax.

I'm aligned with Phil with the strategic strike purchases right now. Feels like the auctions are going so cheap, patience and intentional bidding seems like a winning strategy right now.

food prices ... i spent 11$ at card show Saturday

Difference with Jackson, it's minor ball but also not hype. He has excelled at all levels so I feel he is actually performance based. The W.S playoff runs lost steam once big teams like the Dodgers and Braves were out so that had a play in it for Acuna.

Pitchers are definitely being babied. They’re pulled from games way too soon. They pitch 5 innings sometimes and then the bull pen comes in. I’m old school. Just my 2 cents.

I would hold off for a year or 2 if possible because I think there is still a long way to go before cards reach there bottom

I have been buying Gunnar, Adley, Casas, and Riley Greene soooooooo cheap.

If everyone keeps selling cards below the last comp of course everything will eventually go to zero. Stop selling and wait for better times. Or here's an idea just collect. I know a revolutionary concept. Everyone seems to only flip

Why would I sell if selling cards isn’t my main source of income? Wouldn’t it be a more sound investment to sit on modern stock in five rows (top loaded) and come back to the hobby when it hits the news again in 10 years?

Would be a great video on when is the turn of the hobby was? When did the saturation come into play?

Only thing I'll add is I think there is a shift taking place in terms of what drives baseball card values. Used to be stats and hof chances. Lot of new collectors coming from other sports where championships and playoff success DO matter. They are bringing that same thought process to their baseball collecting. I expect to see more of this mentality in the modern baseball market

Coaching/management and the statistical execs are killing pitching. Look what they did with Stephen Strasburg? They babied him out of the gate instead of just letting him throw and seeing how many innings he could go. Could you imagine if they put an innings limit on Nolan Ryan his first few years? Let the boys play!

A big reason that prices of singles are stuck at an unreasonable high price is the astronomical high cost of wax now post Fanatics takeover

Baseball let's go!! Ohtani + Soto to Braves!! Always great a show episode drop. And don't forget some mixed in other sports cards podcast some crossover from multi sports collectors among you. Great for card channel eyes also 😉 ⚾ 🏀 🏈

I've been listening to y'all on Spotify recently and had to hop on KZfaq to post a comment! This time of year is so fun for a baseball card collector, but I totally align with T-Pot on the assessment of the excitement of basketball being a factor during this time of year when allocating hobby spending! I thoroughly enjoy buying cards of players I follow during a season (the Orlando Magic are my favorite sports team, and I've mainly collected basketball for 20 odd years), so I need to really focus on baseball right about now! That being said, I agree with this 1-2 month window as a strong buying opportunity for baseball. I have been swooping up my favorite prospects at %30-%60 of summer comps, it is ridiculous how cheap some amazing cards are! I'm mainly focusing on 1st Green Grass parallels from 2023 Bowman, but also chrome Refractor (#/499) autos and buying as much as I can. I'm trying to get doubles so I can save 1 for the PC and flip the other before call up be it in 2024 or 25+. Love the podcast, keep up the Lord's work fellas, and happy collecting! ✌🏻&🎄&🍍

Wondering why the Jackson Holliday went up, TPot? Go to the video you did on market movers about prospecting and see my comment. I predicted this and said November and December would NOT be as good a time as in the past to buy a dip because you and influencers just made a bunch of videos on prospecting and there won’t be as noticeable a dip or any dip at all. The only way to get ahead in this hobby is to make a move before influencers make a video on it. Right now is the time to SELL prospects bc of the hype you all have now generated.

Is Chourio a good target right now? His K rate was a little better this year...

Would you target Jarred Kelenic right now?

I have heard many times from this group and on your individual channels that "there are too many sets and too many total rookie cards" of the players after 2017. Or "there isnt the 1 iconic rookie card, all new rookies are too watered down for investment". I say whats the difference between buying 1 Trout rookie for $1k vs buying 10 Ohtani rookies for $1k?? For modern rookies, buy the player, buy 5 or 6 of his various base rookie cards. If that player turns into the next Mike Trout then those 5 or 6 cards will go up "dollar wise" just as much as the 1 good card you wish they had.

Aaron Nola is actually on a HOF pace also

Bartolo colon gets in or the HOF is a joke. Thanks guys!

T-Pott is the best of sports card investor and I'm glad he's on the panel, the rest of yall are just ok, lol. nah for real, love the content. message and like for the algorithm, lol

Kimbrel and Jansen probably making the HOF as pitchers/closers. Only 8 players have 400+ saves.

Not first!

In this episode, you guys painted a dismal picture of ultra modern baseball cards from a price appreciation standpoint. Maybe not as bleak as football, but thoroughly discouraging, nonetheless. Not a complaint. Just an observation. I guess we’ll find out the answers over time.

The problem with hype it shoots cards prices to moon when the player or players might not be that good at all.

Too many cards..market will continue to drop creating more supply and less demand.. sell everything!

Phil 👋 Jeff 👋 Ty 👋 Scott 🖕

At the end of the day people will realize teams cannot afford 2 pitch around Judge ( Via Soto) as much and the league will be punished for only allowing 62 HRs!!!
