I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

Who’s Holding the Cards? Understanding Leverage in the Hobby 24:30

۶ روز پیش24:30

24:30

In this week’s flagship episode, we’re talking about leverage — the invisible force that shapes every deal in the hobby. Whether you're buying, selling, or just circling a card, leverage is always in the room. It's not about the price of the card. It’s about who’s asking, who’s telling, and how the conversation is framed. From story sales on Instagram to dealer tables at shows, understanding leverage helps you move from reacting to navigating. This episode breaks down: How leverage is gained, lost, and given away Why silence is a power move How framing a deal first can shift everything Subtle language choices that signal strength or surrender Real examples from recent hobby interactions Shoutout to @roundtree13_cards for sending in this topic. This one is for every collector who’s ever chased, negotiated, or hesitated.

Welcome to the first episode of The Football Card Podcast — a new weekly show hosted by Pack Nicholson (@packnicholson) and powered by Stacking Slabs.

We’re talking football cards, collecting strategy, eBay negotiation tactics, player nostalgia, and why certain sets (like 2002 Finest and 2010 Topps Chrome) hit harder than others. Pack and Brett each break down recent pickups — including an Eddie George memorabilia refractor, a Matt Forte gold, and an Andre Johnson Colts gold vinyl — and discuss what they’re building and why. They cover the psychology behind card buying, the emotional rollercoaster of NFL fandom, and how running backs are quietly carrying the culture.

Conversations Are Currency: Why Talking Cards Leads to Landing Cards 21:14

13 روز پیش21:14

21:14

Most collectors spend their days refreshing save searches and chasing listings. But some of the best cards? They never hit the market. In this episode, Brett shares two recent pickups—both landed without a public listing and made possible through one thing: conversation. These deals weren’t about luck. They were the result of trust, timing, and building real relationships in the hobby. If you're tired of missing out or feeling stuck in your routine, this episode is your reminder that the best deals often come from the quiet places—the DMs, the group chats, and the unexpected texts from fellow collectors. This one’s about playing the long game and understanding why the best cards in your collection might not come from eBay… but from a conversation you start today.

This week on The WNBA Card Podcast , we ask the big question: what will it take for another WNBA player—not named Caitlin Clark—to break through to collectors outside the space? Brett and Katelyn explore the current dynamics shaping the W card market, discuss how narrative and rhetoric shape demand, and spotlight why players like Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart deserve more hobby attention. We get into: Why comparing Clark to Curry helps collectors connect How Sabrina Ionescu’s market is impacted by expectations Why Stewie is the most undervalued winner in the hobby What the $274K Black Finite sale tells us about parallel preferences The future of college cards and whether they can rival pro releases We also share our weekly pickups, celebrate a collector on the rise, and round it out with some buzzer beater questions—including Brett’s all-time Notre Dame starting five. This is the Caitlin Clark episode... but it’s also a reminder that the WNBA has depth, stories, and stars worth your collecting attention.
