Been away for about a month so there’s a mix of news that we cover on today’s show. 2014 Topps Chrome Football taught anyone that didn’t know already that Topps makes products ‘to order’ … so if everyone orders it – the product ends up being a dud. Looks like Topps is doing group breaks…

On today’s show I blast off more on the 2014 Panini Flawless cards that Panini’s CEO Mark Warsop originally called “mistakenly labeled.” We now know more cards are effected and it’s clear Panini didn’t mislabel all these cards. Instead of taking ownership of it, they’ve tired to pass this off as a “mistake” or a…
On today’s show we discuss mostly news from Panini, but mix in some other items along the way. There’s 2 Blowout Forum threads I discuss this week. One is about how there’s likely some patch cards in Panini Flawless football that aren’t what they are advertised as. Second is a thread about the business end…
There’s a new podcast about cards out there if you haven’t heard called “Trading Card Preservation” and can be found on iTunes & heartbreakingcards.com . Panini is charging customers to ship items on the “rewards” website. Topps & others have very flimsy “game-used” language on cards these days. National Treasures to have Barry Bonds and…

On today’s show, I give my takes on some topics, news and products I’ve seen cross the wire recently. First I discuss the Upper Deck Basketball exclusive license with EuroLeague basketball. Next I discuss Collector Crate – which I declined a free box because I wanted to give you a non-biased opinion of the business…

NSCC Show recap.– Looked like a great event, but more than likely attendance was flat to down over recent years.– A few breakers in the Pavilion did well, but they were doing “well” before the National.– Several breakers looked like they were struggling to fill spots.– “Main Stage” was off to the side, which made…
Priceline The business could use a Priceline, Kayak style website where a potential buyer can browse spots for sale from MANY breakers. So many times I see Breakers in their “room” trying to hawk spots that are still left in a break. “15 spots left guys!” Yet, usually the breakers only have 25 people in…
Today our interview guest is @SportsCardNews from the 2014 National Sports Collectors Convention. We talk about the new 10 year NFLPA exclusive licence Panini secured … and who you really should direct your anger towards (guess what: it’s not Panini or the NFLPA). We talk about how it’s been crickets at the Group Breaking Pavilion…

On today’s show we talk about the rumor that has been swirling around the hobby – and that’s Panini getting an exclusive NFLPA license to make football cards. I talk about who’s tweets in the industry often foreshadow events like this. I also discuss a recent Topps employee calling the company “cash strapped” and…
Today’s show is a recap for those that might not know the back story on why I interviewed Josh Cade aka CardFatherX aka CardCollectorX on the previous show. If you don’t care about Josh (and I don’t blame if you if you don’t) skip to the next show. Listen To Show #158 Below Download this…
Josh Cade conducts Raffles, Razzes, “Fillers” and breaks on his webcam. He invited me to lunch at the National …. I declined, mainly because at the world’s largest card show, meeting a male webcammer isn’t high on my list. He asked to call me on the phone. I said sure, but we would have to…
Stop It! You’ll see these again soon:
The Golden Age of being a group breaker is about to end. I’m not saying group breaking is going away, actually it will become apart of the sports card collecting fabric even more as we move on … but that will make it harder to become a breaker yourself. Don’t worry though, “Golden Ages” exist…
On today’s show we bring on longtime listener and friend of mine @MartynH85 – from the @PastimeDialogues Early on in the interview we talk about the 2014 World Cup matches. We also discuss group breaking, razz (illegal raffles) and buying cards when you are overseas. Finally, we talk about some of the 2014 Topps Baseball products that have…
