Stacking Slabs

The market is red hot. Cards are moving at record speed, headlines are popping up every day, and collectors everywhere are feeling the pull of FOMO.

In this episode of Card Ladder Confidential, I sit down with Chris and Josh from Card Ladder to talk about what it’s really like to navigate a raging market.

We cover:

• The most annoying parts of a bull market
• Collector identity and the temptation to chase cards outside your lane
• The psychology of buying discipline in a season of rising prices
• The $421M month in online card sales and what it really means for the hobby
• Stories of wins, losses, and the role trades play in reshaping collections

If you’ve been wrestling with how to collect in today’s market, this one will give you a lot to think about.
