| 6/24/26 |  Before the Room Gets Loud: Building a Collection With Independent Judgment | In this episode of Stacking Slabs, Brett continues the conversation around taste, conviction, and building a collection that reflects your point of view.This is not an episode about what to buy.It is about how to think.Brett walks through the questions serious collectors need to ask before making decisions:How do you spot opportunity before consensus forms?How do you separate overlooked cards from cards that lack demand?How do you balance personal conviction with market reality?What role should community feedback play?How do you know if your collection reflects your own interest or the market’s influence?This episode is a call to slow down, build with intent, and audit the decisions shaping your collection.Because the strongest collectors do not need the room to agree first.They know what they notice.They know why it matters.They know where they might be wrong.And they build from there.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 38m 53s | ||||||
| 6/23/26 |  Plant the Seed: Why the Best Cards Take Time | Most collectors focus on the outcome.The card.The deal.The mail day.The auction win.But the best things in this hobby rarely happen overnight.They come from trust built over years.Relationships formed without expectations.Research completed before the opportunity appears.Conviction developed long before consensus arrives.In this episode, Brett explores the power of planting seeds as a collector.Why patience is an active skill.Why clarity creates opportunity.Why trust compounds.And why the collectors who seem to have the best cards, strongest relationships, and deepest collections are often the ones doing the work nobody sees.If you're feeling pulled in too many directions or frustrated by the pace of the hobby, this conversation is for you.Because the best things in collecting don't come from forcing the moment.They come from doing the right work long enough that the moment knows where to find you.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 33m 43s | ||||||

| 6/21/26 |  Hobby Jobs: Stop Building for “The Hobby” | In this episode of Hobby Jobs, Brett breaks down why “building for the hobby” is too vague to guide a real business.The sports card industry is not one customer.It is trust.It is convenience.It is liquidity.It is discovery.It is fandom.It is customer behavior.Brett expands on this week’s Operator Note and explains why the best operators in sports cards do not build for a category. They build for a person with a clear problem.This episode also looks at lessons from Bryan Shaffer of THZ Sports Cards, the value of category fluency, and why companies like CardVault show where hobby work is headed.For anyone working in sports cards or trying to find a path into the industry, this episode is about sharpening your thinking, understanding the customer, and creating value that the market remembers.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet exclusive content, promote your cards, and connect with other collectors who listen to the pod today by joining the Patreon: Join Stacking Slabs Podcast PatreonFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 19m 35s | ||||||

| 6/19/26 |  The Football Card Podcast #52: We Celebrate One Year of The Football Card Podcast | One year ago, we launched The Football Card Podcast with a simple idea: create a place where football card collectors could gather every week and talk football cards.Fifty-two episodes later, we're reflecting on what we've learned.Pack and Brett revisit the cards they highlighted in Episode 1, discuss why patience remains one of the biggest advantages in collecting, and explore the growing disconnect between one-of-one sellers and buyers.They also debate whether Ray Lewis is the greatest defensive player of all time, discuss the value of longevity in sports and collecting, examine the rise of Topps NOW, review recent market movers, and answer listener questions about preparing for grails, flag football, and team collecting.The cards change.The market changes.The collectors who stay committed are the ones who get to experience the payoff.Check out Card Ladder the official data partner of Stacking SlabsFollow The Football Card Podcast on Instagram for memes and stuff.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeGet exclusive content, promote your cards, and connect with other collectors who listen to the pod today by joining the Patreon: Join Stacking Slabs Podcast PatreonSign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | TiktokFollow Pack: | Instagram ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 1h 17m 38s | ||||||
| 6/18/26 |  The John Cena Superfractor and the Difference Between Conviction and Impulse | What makes a card worth chasing?In this episode, Brett breaks down the purchase of one of the most important cards to enter his collection in years: the 2025 Topps Chrome WWE John Cena Superfractor 1/1. But this isn't a story about a big card. It's a story about the process behind the decision.From negotiating against a $10,000 asking price to identifying what makes a card canonical, Brett explores the factors that create conviction in collecting. He discusses scarcity versus significance, the power of personal connection, the role of side collections, using collection equity with intention, and why the best long-term purchases often sit at the intersection of market understanding and lived experience.If you've ever wondered how to separate impulse from conviction when a big card surfaces, this episode is for you.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 27m 51s | ||||||
| 6/17/26 |  Stop Waiting for Validation: The Cost of Outsourcing Your Taste | One of the biggest mistakes collectors make has nothing to do with buying the wrong card.It has everything to do with waiting.Waiting for a sale.Waiting for a content creator to talk about it.Waiting for the market to tell you it's safe.In this episode, Brett explores why waiting for validation is rarely about needing more information and often about seeking permission.Using examples from PMG Greens, Michael Jordan 1/1s, Nat Turner's collecting journey, and Chris McGill's pursuit of overlooked lanes, Brett breaks down the psychology behind social proof, regret, independent taste, and conviction.If you've ever felt pulled toward a player, parallel, set, or category that nobody else seems to care about, this episode is for you.The best collections aren't built by following consensus.They're built by collectors who trust themselves enough to do the work before the crowd arrives.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 29m 43s | ||||||

| 6/14/26 |  Hobby Jobs: Your Reputation Is Your Resume in the Sports Cards Industry | Most people think opportunity in the hobby comes from knowledge.Know the player.Know the card.Know the market.Those things matter.But as the sports card industry becomes more sophisticated, another asset is becoming more valuable than ever: trust.In this episode of Hobby Jobs, Brett explores why reputation has become one of the most important forms of leverage in the hobby.
