Ep. 99.5 - The Origins of Breaking Sports Cards and How It Can Feel to Break Cards

Season 2 · Episode 99

Sunday, December 22, 2024 • Duration 29:33

I recorded this episode around 8pm on December 12, right before sitting in the breaker's chair to do an at cost break of a case of 2023-24 Panini Hoops Premium Stock NBA Blasters (20 total boxes).

I talk about feeling nervous about doing this break, even if it was an at cost break ($25/team for 30 teams roughly = $32/blaster for 20 blasters).

I talk about the origins of breaking, just a rudimentary history based on my past experience, nothing super in depth. Shout out to Chris Justice of Cards Infinity/The Hobby Box for being my first ever breaker back in the early 2010's!

I also touch on the potential for shill bidding in streaming platforms when it comes to auction prices for group box breaks (or anything on these streaming platforms such as repacks aka mystery packs and single cards).

Finally, Pepperidge Farms remembers back when everyone domed packs and boxes, but alas such is the evolution of language.

Ep. 99 - Taking the Hobby S. Thompson Concept to the Next Level - Nick Andrews, Boston Card Hunter

Season 2 · Episode 99

Tuesday, December 17, 2024 • Duration 47:34

Being the potential penultimate podcast episode of The Card Diary by Hobby S. Thompson, I thought a lot about who I wanted as its potential last guest on this podcast.However, the answer was right in front of my face, as Nick Andrews (on IG @bostoncardhunter and one half of The @SportCardMadness Podcast) is currently at the top of everyone's Instagram feeds. He is a podcaster, YouTuber, Instagram content creator, making funny and serious short form and long form content, and even recently made a mini documentary on the life of @Fanatics CEO, Michael Rubin.A lot of people first got to know him about the CT scanning issue with sealed wax, but we did not talk about that topic much. Instead, by listening to this podcast episode, you will learn who Nick was before he became the Boston Card Hunter, what he thinks about bounties and the most recent $30,000 bounty for the Caitlin Clark 1/1 from ghostwrite (Josh Luber's newest company) by Dave & Adam's. Nick also shares whether he thinks collective action could work in The Hobby, and what he thinks about people who tell him that he should stay in his lane. Regardless of what you think about him, he is definitely relevant in The Hobby and in this attention economy, he has your attention.Easily one of my favorite episodes to record, hope you enjoy it! - DennyHere is a link to Nick's YouTube about Michael Rubin:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpCA2-DBFnwHere is a link to the New York Times article about the CT scanning issue with sealed wax: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5987857/2024/12/12/trading-cards-sports-collectibles-scanners-ethics/Here is a link to Dave & Adam's website publicizing the $30,000 bounty for the Caitlin Clark 1/1 ghostwrite figurine:https://www.dacardworld.com/blog/new-releases/1-1-caitlin-clark-ghostwrite-wnba-game-face-bounty/ #thehobby #sportscards #baseballcards #basketballcards #footballcards #hockeycards #pokemon #pokemontcg #podcast #hobbypodcast #dennycards #hobbysthompson #thecarddiary #sportscardspodcast #fanatics #bounty #ghostwrite #daveandadams #caitlinclark #joshluber #sportscardmadness #bostoncardhunter

Ep. 90 - East Coast National vs. Culture Collision

Season 2 · Episode 90

Friday, September 27, 2024 • Duration 58:59

This 90th episode of the The Card Diary compares/contrasts the two varying styles of two different card shows - East Coast National and Culture Collision. They were held on different dates and areas of the country, but I talk about how one was more traditional and there was more baseball (and vintage baseball), while the other felt more modern and possibly going in the trend in which card shows are headed. I also talk about Fanatics Fest, as that was held on the same weekend as the East Coast National. Is this a false choice? Does it have to be either/or? Can it be both? Enjoy this solo podcast episode and let me know what you think! #thehobby #fanatics #fanaticsfest #eastcoastnational #culturecollision #podcast #hobbypodcast #cardshows #baseballcard #sportscard

Wednesday, August 21, 2024 • Duration 28:59

Episode 86 of The Card Diary focuses on my latest experience selling 8 low end PSA slabs at auction on eBay and lessons I learned from it, such as being willing to put cards up at auction even if I sell at a loss, I still get liquid.
