"Methew... This is amazing!" (Good Nuff construction)

Good show as always!

Great episode guys! Enjoy the rest of your summer! I’ll just sit naked in a corner…..crying, while you guys take a break. Nothing but love and continued success to you both.

Great ep guys. Looking forward to season 2.

Another great episode. awesome to watch josh on his big purchase journey. and cartel. your knowledge and style make for great content. enjoy the summer

ppl i think of when i think of the leafs: 1) my dad loved him as a kid and he played for our local cleveland barons 2) Sundin- childhood star of team 3) NAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ- THIS MAN BROUGHT THE STANLEY CUP BACK AFTER 21 LONG DAMN YEARS TO OUR GREAT CITY OF DENVER COLORADO :D :D :D

at the next expo im wearing a yakupov oilers jsy but im unstitiching the edm logos and putting a sign on the front that says "about the name on the back not the front"

some good negotiating advice from the man who collects dongers and hits BANGERZ

Great episode gentlemen!!! Man I wish I could grow a beard like you guys.

Another great one boys!

I think of Sittler, Salming Clark, Gilmour, Sundin and Matthews. If I have to narrow it down to one, I'm with Cartel - Wendel Clark.

Great episode ❤

It was Kendrick Perkins who said "If it ain't PSA," and Blake Martinez who decided to tackle the Pokemon breaking market.

Another banger!

Talk about building a really bad hockey product 😂 or presidents choice tough guys 😂

Josh guaruntees victory in game 3 XD

Josh needs a dominion box XD i wanted to buy it and hold it hostage at the ezpo XD

Panini madr some sick cards... i remember the tape to tape and prime logos

Omg I have that Patrick Roy in the yellow Avs jsy XD... cartel is talking about the durivage bread auto (or something like that you get it in a bread loaf or something I read about it

Ya ll need to stop selling on ebay XD

TAG is my absolute fav slab for my PC Cards. I’m pretty much only going forward grading with them.

Good ep dudes. 🤙

Couldn't agree more about PSA and the hobby's groupthink mindset. Unfortunately, it's just one example of many.

What an awesome episode! From someone who only collected in the 90s for a few years, then came back in 2019,knows Jack 💩 about the hobby world pre-Covid, I could listen to you guys talk how the hobby world was back then all day! Thank you both for your time and knowledge

Thanks for being honest, Toronto lifestyle is very go-go-go .. appreciate you guys! -- AND YES I WANT TO LISTEN TO Y"ALL WEEKLY <3

Great show Boys! For 20 years set up at the Expo, the Pack Rats would open a box of 1984 opc ever show, pack wars for the 4 of us, pulled a ton of Yzerman's, and the rare Ed Mio lol.

The distributor of dingers!!

This is the man who hits dingers and collects bangers

That's some BANGER ball! 👏

How many games and how many dingers?

The only hockey card bong show I know of is @DynastyCentralSports where are the bongs?

Papasitos. Many people consider Canvas and Young Guns Canvas as inserts and not parallels. Reason why regular YG worth more than YG Canvas is at 1 in 4 packs it's tougher odds to pull the player you looking for out of 50 total rookies. Canvas has less total cards

yeah baby. 1st comment in the house. lol

WOW thanks JOSH... now i know the purpose of Trilogy. Home RUN Podcast !!!!
