Dallas Card Show Recap - Pickups, Market Talk, Trade Night | Ep. 97

Dallas Card Show Recap - Pickups, Market Talk, Trade Night | Ep. 97

This show was my first time setting up as a dealer at one of the biggest card shows of the year. I always use card shows as an opportunity to shift my collection in real ways and this show wasn't any different. I made some huge sales and pickups as my collection continues to change in this evolving market. I talk about the advantages and disadvantages of setting up as a dealer, how the market feels, and trade night.

Mitchell gets Traded and Major PC Changes | Ep. 96

I'm back! And I'm energized to come back to content in a new way. On this episode, we talk about Donovan Mitchell getting traded and the new about Kevin Durant staying in Brooklyn.

Then I dive into major changes to my PC and more importantly how I approach it. Trading MJ for Justin Herbert?? I'll tell you why and I think I might be on to something.

THE NATIONAL Vibes and Five Figure Sales - Part One |The Bounce Ep. 35

The National 2022 is over and... it was AWESOME. It was awesome mostly because Rob and I got to me, the hobby is so alive with a ton of positive energy and momentum, and it was truly the best because of all the listeners that came up and showed some love. We appreciate you. On Part 1 we dive into the vibes of the show, the difference between walking around and setting up as a dealer, and differences between having cash and trading at these card shows. Then we break down a major sale that Aamil made of the 1985 Michael Jordan Nike Promo 10. A roller coaster of a deal that gets done and all of a sudden, Aamil is collecting Justin Herbert.

We Prep for The National! Strategies for Grails and Tips | The Bounce Ep 34

The National is only one week away and on today's episode we do a full breakdown of our strategy going into what we feel is the Hobby New Year. Aamil talks about his plan to go after a huge Tim Duncan Rookie card as a major staple of his collection and Rob is going in with less of a plan but with the hopes of finding something he's not expecting. Regardless, we both plan on making moves and we also very excited about meeting one another for the first time. We also talk about some logistics to keep in mind to maximize your time there. \

Chasing Your Personal Grail Cards and Set Collecting | The Bounce Ep 33

Chasing Your Personal Grail Cards and Set Collecting | The Bounce Ep 33

As always, Rob is making moves... but his mindset is changing and today we talk about it. A couple years ago it felt like we would never be able to get our hands on the cards that truly matter to the collecting world but like everything that goes up, it must come down. And it is now time to be looking at your own personal grail cards because this will be a time over the next weeks, months, and years that it will be possible if you put your mind to it and we definitely are. We also talk about set collecting and how much more possible that has become again.

Trades are Hard but an Important Tool in Sports Cards | The Bounce Ep 31

Trades are Hard but an Important Tool in Sports Cards | The Bounce Ep 31

On this episode, Both Rob and I are making moves! One more than the other but not what you think. Aamil is also back in the action having attended trade night in San Antonio at Boomtown Sports Cards. We talk about what card I traded to get a Tua Rookie Donruss Optic Downtown. If you've been following along, you'll definitely recognize the card. Trading is a tool that allows you to change your card collection way faster which can help in giving yourself another strategy if one isn't working or if you are tired of a certain card in your collection without having to find a cash buyer. Congrats to Rob on the big news and we are both excited to meet each other and all of you at the National. Follow us on instagram to find out where we will be setting up.

At What Point Does a Player's Cards Stop Trading on Potential? | The Bounce Ep 30

At What Point Does a Player's Cards Stop Trading on Potential? | The Bounce Ep 30

On this episode, as an offshoot of our NBA Finals Recap, we discussed how long does Jayson Tatum have to play before people stop trading his rookie cards on what he could become, but rather what he has done (i.e. the Bradley Beal effect)? And by way, lower the ceiling that people would pay for his cards. We also talk about where Giannis, Luka and Zion falls in their "Trading on Potential" windows. To end the pod, we also discuss how we actually engage with the hobby on a day to day basis and how we find true joy out of this hobby that we spend so much time on.

A Deep Dive of the Sports Card Market and NBA Finals | The Bounce Ep 29

A Deep Dive of the Sports Card Market and NBA Finals | The Bounce Ep 29

On this episode, Rob and Aamil take a deep dive into what is actually going on in the market. We are at a pivotal time with a lot of negative talk in the market and it's time to really look at the different tiers of cards (high, middle and low end) since the story is different across the tiers. We also look at the Stephen Curry and Lebron James markets to get a sense of whether or not it is better to buy the GOATS or is it better to take some more risks with younger players that have untapped potential. We end the show talking about the NBA Finals and who we think will be the eventual NBA Champions of the 2021/22 Season.

With Aamil out this week, Rob brings in a huge guest.

Legacy or Potential - What Matters More? | The Bounce Ep 25

Legacy or Potential - What Matters More? | The Bounce Ep 25

The guys start off by recapping Rob's experience at Rick Probstein's Autographfest Card Show in New Jersey this past weekend. They talk about what the show was like and how it was to see Ric Flair, Allen Iverson Michael Vick and more in person. The main topic of the show is a discussion about what drives more people to buy a player's cards - a player's Legacy or rather the potential a player has. We discuss the Giannis, Tatum, Stephen Curry, and the Chris Paul markets as part of that discussion.

Shaking Up Your Collection and Taking Losses | The Bounce Ep 24

Shaking Up Your Collection and Taking Losses | The Bounce Ep 24

If you've been listening you know that Aamil has struggled on what to do next with his collection. With a lot of money tied up in nice high end cards, that can mean less activity in the hobby, and that's opposite of what we want out of this hobby. Aamil and Rob dive into what it means to truly buy cards for the long term and adjusting expectations as a lot of things have changed in the hobby. They also talk about taking into consideration some of the macroeconomic trends that are taking place in our world at this moment as we look at the broader Sports Card Strategy.

Rick Probstein Joins: All Things Consignment, Shill Bidding, Felons, and Second Chances in the Hobby

Rick Probstein is the Biggest Consignment house on eBay under "Probstein123". If you're looking at cards on eBay, you've definitely come across cards being sold through his consignment house. We answer questions like what is consignment, why do people use it, and how auction houses operate in the hobby. Consignment also has a darker side as well. It's the center of the conversation when we talk about shill bidding and some of the market manipulation that can occur because of the natural incentives that exist in the consignment world. The discussion definitely gets lively as we talk about some of the real problems that exist. We appreciate Rick being on the show and having the discussion with us. The Bounce Episode 23.

Hobby legend Erik Myers joins the show. He has been collecting for 16 years and own a multi-million dollar collection having some of the biggest collectible you can think of. We talk about navigating a high end market that is much harder to get into with the prices having exploded over the last two years and how he would be thinking about leveling up his collection if he started today. We talk about the importance of using data research tools and being a student of the hobby. We also debate National Treasures vs Flawless.

In this episode we dissect how the deal went down, how he negotiated it, and what his thought process was on this flip.

Rob Buys Wilt Chamberlain and Hank Aaron Rookies. Why Vintage and How is it Different? | The Bounce Ep 18

On this episode, Rob talks about his latest pickups in the Vintage Card World. Over the weekend he bought iconic rookie cards of Wilt Chamberlain and Hank Aaron. There are definitely differences with cards that are from the 1950s and 60s and Aamil and Rob discuss the thought process. We talk about seeing grade of the card differently than just targeting PSA 10s as we are all accustomed to caring about so much and what the vintage market looks like when trying to resell the cards.

Predicting Narratives: Why Flipping Cards is Fun | The Bounce Ep. 17

Flipping cards can definitely be risky, but there is a lot of fun in trying to be right. Ultimately, that's the catalyst that makes buying cards of active players a lot of fun. You can make a Sports Card "bet" on what you think what might happen and/or how you think people will react to it and if you're right, chances are you will have an opportunity to make some money on a card. We talk about buying a player when it doesn't feel good like Kyrie Irving or Zion Williamson this season. We also talk about whether or not the narrative around Kevin Durant can change, making him more collectable. It's a fun conversation and if you like the idea of buying current players, you'll enjoy this one.

How We Estimate Value for Rare Cards | The Bounce Ep. 16

Some of the most common questions we get - How can you figure out value of a card when there aren't a lot of comps? How can you determine and use multipliers based on other sales of comparable grades or players? How we use eBay sales in determining a card's value? On this episode, we discuss all of these topics. If you're buying cards right now, you're going to want to listen to this one!

Russell Wilson is now a Bronco after the huge trade announcement made today. Aamil and Rob talk about what that means for his card market and whether or not he is a buy. The main part of the episode is all about Rob's major moves after freeing up $30,000 from the New Jersey Trade Show two weekends ago. He's already spent the majority of it and the crazy thing is, Rob is making NBA prospecting moves instead of safe GOAT buys. We deep dive into what players he believes in, what cards he bought, and how it went down.

Steph and LeBron Pickups, NFL Playoffs, and Hobby Drama | The Bounce Ep. 9

On this episode, Aamil and Rob discuss their recent pickups, but unfortunately, Rob's big pickup of the week is lost in the mail. We discuss how he's feeling about it, what steps he is taking and the fact that it was a trade and whether or not that affects how he trades online in the future. Aamil made some major additions to his PC and they discuss the importance of liquidity and patience. They also talk about the best weekend in Football ever and how the results will affect the card prices of Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow. At the end of the show they talk about some of the bad events that have taken place in the hobby over the last week including Marx Cards debacle with PSA and CardPorn stepping down as "Hobby Watch Dog"

Ja Morant, Lebron James Plays and Fanatics Buys Topps! | The Bounce Ep. 8

On this episode, Aamil and Rob discuss plays they've made or in Aamil's case a play he is considering making. Rob talks Hank Aaron and Lebron James while Aamil ponders making Ja Morant a real pillar of his collection. We also breakdown the massive new that Fanatics bought Topps, a major move after already signing licensing agreements with the NBA and NFL just last summer. What does that mean for the hobby? Does this create a dangerous monopoly? What are the potential awesome things that could come out of it?

Card Rich and Cash Poor

Card Rich and Cash Poor

On this episode, I talk about the Dallas Card show as a recap from the last episode on the feed where you heard me prep for the show. The main part of the today's episode is about me self reflecting on my collection a bit and being okay with not knowing exactly where you want to go next. I have a lot of my Card money in the market right now and patience is really important for me to exhibit as I figure out my next move in the hobby. Thanks for listening.
