Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer and radio host Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus dives into the stories and experiences that shape these artists, and ultimately, the music we hear.

Hunting down elusive Gold Prizms and game-worn shields
The mental battle of letting go of cards to fund bigger grails

Passion to Profession: The Journey to Build Card Ladder with Kristina Thorson 47:26

In this episode of Passion to Profession, I sit down with Kristina Thorson, co-founder of Card Ladder, to explore what it takes to build something meaningful in the hobby. We talk about working two jobs before signing the acquisition papers, building trust through transparency, and why every feature on the platform starts with one question: “What’s best for the hobby?” This isn’t the same old Card Ladder story. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how Kristina went from collector to co-founder, how her academic experience in research compliance shaped the platform’s foundation, and what it’s like being a woman running a company in a male-dominated industry. This episode is about belief. It’s about finding the right people to build with and staying true to what matters. A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Passion to Profession .

The Football Card Podcast #4: Who deserves the card? 1:12:52

۵ روز پیش1:12:52

1:12:52

Pack and Brett go deep on one of the biggest debates in football and collecting: who deserves the card when collecting lanes collide? They kick things off with a question on every fan’s mind—who’s QB5 in the NFL right now? The media may have already anointed Herbert, but the guys aren’t sold. From there, they move into hobby territory, breaking down three core collecting lanes—player, team, and set—and how each one shapes the way we experience cards. You’ll hear stories about chasing Donald Brown, scoring a PSA 10 pop one Edgerrin James, and why jersey numbers might matter less than you think. Other topics include: Why player collector entitlement is real Whether consolidation is collecting Hobby beefs with Vanderjagt, Parkey, and Chris Conte Santana Moss appreciation A Revis Island card that proves PSA 10 game-used is still undervalued Listener card callouts, including Aidan Hutchinson, Tom Landry, and Bruce Smith This episode closes with a community challenge: show us your Hall of Very Good .

Chris (@cardicsportscards), creator of The Smarter Collector, joins Smashing BIN to talk about the card that’s been on his want list since 2017: the 2014 Bowman Chrome Mookie Betts Blue Refractor Autograph /150 (BGS 9.5/10). We go deep on the moment he finally smashed BIN, how he funds high-end targets through collection curation, and why this blue parallel hits different than gold. We also unpack collector psychology—why pairings matter, how to process former team players, and what it means to build a 100-Player PC with intention.

Why Relationship Capital is Your Most Valuable Asset in the Hobby 24:10

۷ روز پیش24:10

24:10

Collecting is personal. But what separates a good experience from a great one often has little to do with the cards themselves. In this episode, I’m talking about the importance of relationship capital and why your collector reputation matters more than you think. I break down what relationship capital is, how to build it, and why it consistently outperforms financial capital when it comes to accessing the right cards and opportunities. Whether you're headed to The National or simply trying to build something that lasts, this one’s for you. Cards don’t make it into great collections by accident. People help make that happen. Let’s talk about how to build the trust that gets you the card before it hits the market.

This week on Smashing BIN , Tony (@southerncollector14) returns to share the story behind one of the rarest cards in his vintage baseball collection: the 1950-51 Toleteros Josh Gibson. This wasn’t a BIN on eBay. It was a BIN through the community. Tony breaks down why he moved three iconic cards—including his 1952 Mantle—to consolidate into a card with only 30 known copies. We talk about the card’s unique history, Gibson’s overdue recognition in Major League Baseball’s stat books, and how collecting can become a tool to pass history down to future generations. We also break down recent BINs involving Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, and Ty Cobb—and what to look for in cards from those legends.
