Speaker 1: Then. Oh yeah, the kid with as well, Welcome.

10
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: What's up John? What's up everybody? Only a month out

11
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,959
from the Nationals getting close that.

12
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,519
Speaker 1: People are starting to get national fever, aren't they? And

13
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:14,359
I have a feeling those folks that you know might

14
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,599
be saying, oh, I'm burned out on going to the

15
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,879
National I might start to get foamo here eventually. But

16
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,319
yeah that we've already got a few folks here in

17
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:31,159
the chat are slowly rolling in. It's early for us

18
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:34,760
those on the West Coast like myself, but we got

19
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:40,079
Stukes Good morning from Minnesota. We got Mad City Brew,

20
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:46,599
We've got Upstate sports cards, yank Bee card, Steve from Tucson.

21
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,879
I was actually in Phoenix this week for work. But

22
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,280
it is hot down there. I am. I am happy

23
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:58,239
to get off the plane in Portland and it's like, oh,

24
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:01,000
I can go outside and not just in starts sweating.

25
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:07,560
Good morning from sunny Cape Cod We've got upstate sports

26
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:11,639
cards Albany. Is that New Jersey? New York? It was

27
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,919
a typo. I thought all it would be in New York,

28
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,840
but uh, we have got someone who is experiencing tonight

29
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,639
in Tokyo. Welcome from the other side of the world.

30
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,080
So all right, before we get rolling into the topics,

31
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,879
you guys got anything you want to bring up? First,

32
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,879
I have to bring up a big shout out to

33
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,039
my boy THEO. I'm sure if you're watching this you've

34
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,280
probably seen it. He's got thousands of views wrapped up

35
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,879
on the video where he put I quit on the thumbnail,

36
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,960
and what he did was quit his day job and

37
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,599
went full time in the hobby. So big congrats to

38
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,719
THEO for following his dream and seeking happiness over the

39
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,080
corporate grind. So congratulations to THEO, who is working for

40
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:11,840
Collector Investor Auctions, which might be a sponsor for a

41
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,599
program on this channel when we do our Sunday closing shows.

42
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,960
We've got one coming up July twelfth because their auction

43
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:24,400
did just open up again for July. So lots of

44
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:28,039
good stuff in their auctions every time. And well, the

45
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,960
thing that's great about them is that feel like they

46
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:34,240
hit every price point for any level of collector. So

47
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,039
you've got your big comma stuff at the front end

48
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:41,919
of the auction, but then they've got just depth all

49
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,919
the way through for you know, bargain collectors, you know,

50
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,439
and everything in between. So yeah, okay, Orlando.

51
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: You got any Yeah, definitely auction. I just send some

52
00:03:55,159 --> 00:03:58,639
cards on Monday. Unfortunately they didn't get there in time

53
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:01,039
for this auction, but they'll be there in the August auction.

54
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,039
But they're a great auction house. It's the one I've been.

55
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,080
This will be my fifth time sending cards over there,

56
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,240
and you know, I especially love that they pay you

57
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,319
immediately because they sell them. But yeah, what I've got

58
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:16,959
going is I'll be at a card show next week.

59
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,920
You know, I attend card shows pretty much every month,

60
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,360
maybe twice a month. There aren't as many here in

61
00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:25,279
South Florida as there are in other places, but I

62
00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:27,120
do try to go to all of them. And I've

63
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,319
got a new podcast that's coming out actually today. We

64
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,800
recorded it yesterday with Sammy Thunder and it pertained to

65
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,079
card shows. It's called Card Show Culture, and we recorded

66
00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:40,879
it yesterday. I'm going to post it today after we

67
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:44,000
do this hobby hotline, so we'd be able to look

68
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,160
out for that, and it'll also be some of it

69
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:51,519
will also appear on the Sports Card Clubhouse. So Sammy

70
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,519
and I are thinking of doing it once a month.

71
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:56,120
We both do a lot of card shows, just going

72
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:58,279
to talk a little bit about what's happening out there

73
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:01,800
at the card shows. And it's crazy already that we're

74
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,839
having the National again, and he's like yesterday that we

75
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,399
were at Strongsville, you know, and oh yeah, it kind

76
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:10,360
of seems like yesterday that Brody was a kid, and Brody's.

77
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: Not a kid anymore.

78
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: So I'm flive. So back to you, Brody, what do

79
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:14,439
you got going on?

80
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:18,079
Speaker 3: I'm so excited for the National, but I think as well,

81
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:20,519
something good to mention is to shout out my man

82
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:25,040
Tim at signatures for soldiers he's doing. Obviously, we're close

83
00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:27,680
to July fourth, and he's not going to be getting

84
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,120
as much that he would be during the summer. So

85
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,000
if you want to look at his Twitter is he's

86
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,600
on District, He's on eBay.

87
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 5: Maybe go look at the stuff.

88
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: He's got great organization there, see if you can donate.

89
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,399
Speaker 1: So well, that's a great lead in. Because I got

90
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,279
the schedule out or ready to go. I'm going to

91
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,879
be notifying all the folks who are going to be

92
00:05:53,920 --> 00:06:00,279
hosting shows on the upcoming hobby Polooza number seven. This

93
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:06,839
is going to be starting Friday, July seventeenth, all day

94
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,839
Saturday the eighteenth, all day Sunday the nineteenth, and throughout

95
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:14,839
the show we're going to be asking for donations from

96
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,480
signatures for Soldiers. The main point of the event is

97
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:23,120
a fundraiser for them. We were able to give them

98
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:30,000
eighty five hundred dollars last year around hobby Palooza. So

99
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:33,680
the goal for this year is let's hit that ten K.

100
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,519
That's a magic number. We want to want to try

101
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,959
to hit that one this year, and I think we

102
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:44,439
can do it. We have got a ton of great

103
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,639
people lined up. I know there's many out you out

104
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,120
there who might not have been able to get a chance.

105
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,759
We only had twenty nine spots to fill and there's

106
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,759
so many awesome creators in the community. But it should

107
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,720
be a great event again for those three days. But

108
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:06,480
once again, if you didn't hear that, mark your calendars

109
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,439
July seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth. So starting Friday evening, the

110
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,000
first show is going to be seven pm Eastern four Pacific,

111
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,639
and once again leading things off for us as a

112
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,279
host was going to be silver Jackafi and they always

113
00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:27,480
put together a great show and all kinds of you know,

114
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,360
you think of one of the big creators in our

115
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:34,319
little hobby space and they're going to be a part

116
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:39,360
of this, So it should be a fun event. And

117
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:46,079
just back on your you know linkage with Sammy Thunder Orlando's.

118
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:49,439
To me, it's very synergistic because you guys started almost

119
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,879
around the same time. You guys both blew up as

120
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,519
far as channels with doing exactly what you're talking with,

121
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,480
walking through shows and giving us great looks at you know,

122
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:02,600
the folks like me on the West Coast that have

123
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,720
a dearth of card shows. I get to see and

124
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:08,920
be jealous of you guys over to the East Coast

125
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:13,560
what you have access to on a regular basis. So yeah,

126
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:15,160
to your show.

127
00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: I'm a little jealous. Of course, he's got shows every weekend,

128
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,000
but yeah, Sammy and I our channels are very very similar.

129
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:26,240
We do card shows and we show cards, and we

130
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:29,519
started around the same time. We've been doing YouTube now

131
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,720
for almost five years, and we actually collaboration. We're both

132
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,440
hitting two thousand subscribers at the same time, so I

133
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,960
remember that we did that and had gave away some

134
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:43,200
prizes on that, and you know, now we're both over

135
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:46,600
four thousand subscribers. And again it's been almost five years,

136
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:49,799
and we both were inducted into the YouTube Hall of

137
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:51,960
Fame the same year also, so it.

138
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: Was been on a parallel course with him up in

139
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:57,120
the Northeast and you down in Florida.

140
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Sammy and I have become really good friends

141
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:01,840
because of all of that, and of course, you know,

142
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:04,240
we see each other we go to the big shows.

143
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,960
But I think it was a great idea. Sammy came

144
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:09,279
up with it and said, you know, there aren't any

145
00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:13,960
podcast out there on card shows and what's actually happening

146
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,080
at shows, So you know, he said, hey, let's do it.

147
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,960
I said, we're gonna do it. So we're gonna do

148
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:21,120
once a month, and you know, who knows, if it

149
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,120
becomes popular, maybe we'll do even even more often. We'll

150
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,039
see how it goes.

151
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, sounds good. Speaking of shows, now let's

152
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,320
get into the topic of what is coming only one

153
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:39,679
month away. It's starting to be the buzz across many

154
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,519
conversations on channels, the national is coming. We what it's

155
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:49,919
one month and what two days would be the start

156
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,440
of it now? So it seems to be on fire

157
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,679
again as we can see. Let me show my screen

158
00:10:00,759 --> 00:10:05,440
real quick. Here we go, boom. It's already sold out

159
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,799
for the VIP packages, So those of you out there,

160
00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:12,200
if you don't have your tickets, you might want to

161
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:17,480
buy that five day early entry pass now before those

162
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,440
sell out as well, because I do remember last year

163
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,600
they sold out before the show as well. So, but

164
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,840
is there any stopping this train of the hobby right

165
00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:33,720
now of just being on fire? And what are your thoughts, Orlando.

166
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,039
Speaker 2: No, they'll stopping it now. I think it's supposedly they

167
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,879
say that this is going to be the biggest show ever.

168
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:43,720
I think the biggest has been back when they had

169
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,320
that Anaheim show, and this is supposed to be the

170
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,200
biggest one. I mean, yeah, those VIP tickets have been

171
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,799
sold out for a while and the five day early

172
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:55,600
access if you don't get your tickets this week, you

173
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,320
may miss out, because I remember last year they did

174
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:01,600
sell out. And if you've got to go with the daily.

175
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: Passes, it takes a while to get in the building

176
00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:04,759
every day.

177
00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, if you remember, John, the line was seemed

178
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,919
like it was over a mile long outside, you know,

179
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,399
and they had to literally go outside and put the

180
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,600
wristbands on people out there because the line went all

181
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:19,240
the way way out into the street, and it took

182
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:22,080
those guys just over an hour just to get in.

183
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,960
So you don't want to do the daily pass unless

184
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,519
you're only gonna go there one day. But if you're

185
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:31,720
gonna be there more than, you know, two or three days,

186
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,200
you got to get the five day, the early pass

187
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,480
and get in before all those crowds. If not, you're

188
00:11:36,519 --> 00:11:39,240
gonna be stuck out there in the heat and the

189
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,240
crowd for long long to the hall.

190
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,279
Speaker 1: All right, it looks like we're on the big screens

191
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,480
at the sports card shop. So hello, everyone's shopping at

192
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,639
the sports card shop.

193
00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 5: But this is gonna be the biggest show. I'm so

194
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,360
excited for it.

195
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: I love that the upstairs is gonna be bigger because

196
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,399
I think all of us that went upstairs last year.

197
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,720
Knew that that was not the best design ever, but

198
00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:06,200
it's I mean, it's the buzz every year, and I'm

199
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,320
really excited for it. I can't wait to see everybody.

200
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,080
I think that's the best part about the nationals, being

201
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,360
able to see all the people were talking to here

202
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:16,679
and YouTube channels on Twitter, on Instagram.

203
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,759
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of the upstairs, I did also pull up

204
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:26,200
the interactive map and let me zoom in. It looks

205
00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:32,360
like the upstairs is now not a second class citizen anymore.

206
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,360
So it appears to be much better when they've actually

207
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,399
got you know, corporate things upstairs and real aisles. So

208
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,240
I'm looking forward to that being a usable space as

209
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,679
opposed to the nightmare it was last year, so you

210
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,840
could once it got past the early morning, you could

211
00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:58,519
not squeeze hardly past those aisles without colliding with everyone,

212
00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:02,080
So that as much much better. I mean, you've got

213
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,039
eBay has booths up there, so it's definitely going to

214
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:05,919
be laid out better.

215
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 5: Yeah's TikTok doing up there?

216
00:13:08,799 --> 00:13:09,759
Speaker 2: I do not know.

217
00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, what is TikTok's involvement with the sports card

218
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,720
hobby at this point? That is weird? Like even Fanatics

219
00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:21,759
has a smaller booth upstairs in addition to the big

220
00:13:21,799 --> 00:13:23,080
one they have downstairs.

221
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I heard a lot of people do

222
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,200
sell card to talk. Now I don't have TikTok, but

223
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:30,639
that's kind of what I've heard. So that's gotta be

224
00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:33,279
something they want to promote a little bit more.

225
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,399
Speaker 1: Oh, here's a question pre national commercial. Where is the

226
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,240
West Coast card show commercial? It's coming up before the

227
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,320
national I think what it amounts to is that the

228
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,879
majority of our community is Midwest and Northeast based, is

229
00:13:49,919 --> 00:13:53,480
what it amounts to. I mean, that's even the prevalence

230
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,960
of If you look at that card show map website, dang,

231
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,159
the little pins are just like everywhere in the Midway,

232
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,039
like Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York. It's insane how many pins

233
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,960
are on that map for card shows in those states.

234
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,960
But they are spreading everywhere. I mean, we've got the

235
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,399
front Row Show is starting to do regular quarterly shows

236
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:23,399
at our large convention center as opposed to the dying

237
00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:27,919
pathetic mall that we were getting little tiny card shows at.

238
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,679
So unfortunately they are more than half pokemon, but it

239
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,840
is what it is. So but that looks to night,

240
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000
you know, any other thoughts on the whole card show front,

241
00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:45,720
and you know, beyond just the National, how crazy it

242
00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:46,320
is getting.

243
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely getting crazy. We'll see last year there

244
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,200
weren't as many Pokemon dealers at the National as there

245
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,120
are in regular card shows, where you know, you've got

246
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,320
fifty to sixty seventy of the show is poke them on.

247
00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:03,240
But I hear there's going to be more Pokemon and

248
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:06,000
you know maybe in the second floor. You know last

249
00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:09,279
year that place huge up up in the second floor,

250
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,559
but it was all crammed in section, So hopefully they'll

251
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,919
expand all that out, and that's where probably a lot

252
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,960
of the newer deaders located. Because the way they do

253
00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:21,639
the National, the kind of the people have been to

254
00:15:21,759 --> 00:15:24,399
the longest get to pick their spot and pick their

255
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:26,720
booth and those get in and then the ones that

256
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,279
the new guys there get whatever's left over. So that's

257
00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:32,240
probably going to be the second floor guys. And I

258
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,720
would imagine the Pokemon are going to be more up there.

259
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:37,200
But it looks like they're going to have bigger aisles,

260
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,320
which is great because upstairs before, I mean you couldn't

261
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,639
fit two people in one Aisle, so hopefully it'll get better.

262
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:48,000
But yeah, I'm expecting to be the biggest national ever

263
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,360
based on all the hype and everything that's going on,

264
00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:55,120
and it's going to be just the area where all

265
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:57,559
the corporates are going to be. That's going to be crazy.

266
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,919
If you saw last year, it was loud.

267
00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:02,759
Speaker 3: And I think it'll be interesting with the second floor

268
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:05,720
from that map, like that almost looks like its own show,

269
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:09,240
Like that's crazy. I think you might even see it

270
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,519
at the regular show. Maybe it'll be a little less

271
00:16:12,559 --> 00:16:14,320
crowded down there because you've got a lot of people

272
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,519
going up there, especially like you said, if it's a

273
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:18,960
lot of Pokemon people, there might be a lot of

274
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,600
people up there instead of downstairs. But again, I mean,

275
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:24,639
it's the biggest show of the year and I can't wait.

276
00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:28,039
Speaker 1: Oh. I mean, we've got people commenting all over the

277
00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:31,399
place that there's just tons of shows like popping up

278
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,639
in where they live here with what was it? I

279
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:37,480
saw one comment saying, okay, see as three to four

280
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:43,120
options every weekend right here, So I mean, it doesn't

281
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:49,559
it seems like this is just becoming a more mainstream hobby.

282
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:50,559
Speaker 5: Is that?

283
00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:54,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. You know, being someone who

284
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,720
in the junk wacks era, I was finishing high school

285
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,240
when you know, the bottom fell out of the thing before,

286
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,559
so I left because I was going to be going

287
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:08,240
to college. And you know, Orlando, you were around. I mean,

288
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,200
was it was it because all the kids fled before

289
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,400
or was it you know what happened between the was

290
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,039
the spread different then as far as kids versus or.

291
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: You know, it was different but very similar. I mean

292
00:17:23,279 --> 00:17:26,599
what happened was you know, back in the eighties and nineties,

293
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,400
I was doing card shows as a dealer, and you know,

294
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,240
that was the junk wax era. But you know, we

295
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,599
didn't know that unk wax era. When we were in

296
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,480
the junk wax era, people were actually thinking that they

297
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:40,440
would buy cases of these you know, eighty seven tops

298
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,480
cards and save them and that that would pay for

299
00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:47,759
your college education. So you know, we didn't know how

300
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:51,480
much overproduction there was going on at the time because

301
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,400
of course we didn't have YouTube, we didn't have any

302
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,279
social media and stuff, so it was very speculative at

303
00:17:56,279 --> 00:17:58,359
the time. A lot of people got into the hobby

304
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,759
and then eventually people realize that, hey, you know what

305
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,279
these cards are being way overproduced, and I think, you know,

306
00:18:06,319 --> 00:18:09,440
it's it's a similar to what's happening today in the

307
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,480
Pokemon where everybody's getting into Pokemon and buying a lot

308
00:18:13,519 --> 00:18:16,680
of these you know, boxes and unopened boxes in this

309
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,359
and they don't realize that last year they produced one

310
00:18:20,759 --> 00:18:23,880
billion to be one billion Pokemon. So you see all

311
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,440
these people that are coming in where you know, the

312
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,759
same thing back in the day, you know PSA Now,

313
00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:32,160
I think seventy percent of their cards being graded are

314
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,400
Pokemon cards. You know, they literally open a pack of

315
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,119
cards and they submit almost every card is the PSA

316
00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:42,200
to get you know graded, And back in those days,

317
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,119
that's kind of what what you thought. You thought all

318
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,039
the cards were going to be worth money. And then eventually,

319
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,319
you know, you know, reality sat in. People that came

320
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,720
in as investor typee they kind of got out of

321
00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:57,559
the hobby. And that's what happened back back in those days.

322
00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:00,160
You had the big bunch of people coming in, but

323
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,119
then you had a bunch of people going out once

324
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,279
they realize that that it wasn't an investment. So it's

325
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,480
kind of similar to what's happening today, and you see

326
00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:10,880
all these new all the new money that's coming in

327
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,119
through the market right now. But you know, most of

328
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,880
the stuff, especially a lot of the modern right now,

329
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,079
you know, it's not going to be worth what people think,

330
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,759
you know, years from now. I mean, think about all

331
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:25,880
the Zion cards and stuff that were graded and all

332
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,359
those type of cards that a lot of them are

333
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,599
are worthless right now. They're not worth the slab that

334
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:34,079
the slab is worth more than the card itself. So

335
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,799
you know, that's what that's what's what I see happening.

336
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,880
It's a good thing, I think, because a lot of

337
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,279
people are getting in and a lot of people are

338
00:19:41,279 --> 00:19:43,279
going to stay in the hobby, but you're going to

339
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,559
have people eventually are going to be leaving the hobby

340
00:19:46,599 --> 00:19:49,599
because they either get disappointed or because it just wasn't

341
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,480
you know. They're not collectors per se, they're more because

342
00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:56,960
of the investment, uh part of the hobby opinion.

343
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, so as far as okay, see Bill, yeah the question.

344
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:04,160
I am fifty two, so I was a ninety two

345
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:08,960
high school graduate, and so on that front, I mean,

346
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,839
when I was doing it, it was like in the eighties,

347
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,559
all the kids in your class, you were the odd

348
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,599
kid if you didn't collect sports cards. So that's where

349
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,880
I'm wondering now in this new generation, like Brody, are

350
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,400
you the odd one because you do? Or is there

351
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,559
is it become popular with the younger kids.

352
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,559
Speaker 3: It's definitely getting popular. I'd say it's pretty split like

353
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,200
it used to be, like I was the only now

354
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,160
I think it. You know, it depends on who you're

355
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,960
hating out with. But I there's there's the chase factor.

356
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,640
And I was just talking about this with my friends

357
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,480
and my dad the other day. You know, and those

358
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:51,200
eighty Tops packs there's nothing worth anything, But in twenty years,

359
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:53,880
you know, there might not be anything from a Tops

360
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,400
Chrome set that's worth much. But I guarantee you that

361
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,880
Paul Schemes one on one with his debut patch is

362
00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,480
still gonna.

363
00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 5: Be worth one hundred of thousands of dollars. And that's

364
00:21:01,759 --> 00:21:02,839
the difference that I see.

365
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: Is it a junk parallel era, Yeah, I mean there's

366
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,599
eighty plus hundreds parallels in every set. But I think

367
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,920
some of these cards, especially Fanatics, I mean Fanatics has

368
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:17,039
the like, the resources and the money for so much

369
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:20,400
stuff that I think this is this train will keep going.

370
00:21:20,839 --> 00:21:23,160
It'll be interesting to see how many people hop off.

371
00:21:23,279 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: We have actually got a call in on our call

372
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,279
in show here from the other side of the world.

373
00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:33,079
We have got Carl from OZ. Welcome to Hobby Hotline.

374
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,559
Speaker 4: Good morning, gentlemen.

375
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,759
Speaker 1: Hey, good evening to you.

376
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's good, it is. Indeed, it's one twenty four.

377
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,759
I am I'm sitting up in bed. I've just locked

378
00:21:43,839 --> 00:21:46,079
my cat out of the bedroom. She's bogging at me.

379
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,559
Just wanted to join in this. This is quite fun.

380
00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,000
I love this and I yell you. You're talking earlier, John, Sorry,

381
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:55,079
you're talking earlier about being jelous about the lack of

382
00:21:55,079 --> 00:22:02,599
couch shows anything. Seriously, you got rebell. Not this year.

383
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,640
I'm not going to the National. This year's found that overwhelming.

384
00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:09,240
Last year for me, I loved it. It was great fun.

385
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,200
But now I'm I'm I'm locked into Strongsville next year.

386
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,799
That's that's the next big one for me.

387
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got to be tough for you. It's a

388
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:19,440
two day traveling to get to the National.

389
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,039
Speaker 4: It can be Orlando, yes, it can. Indeed. I'm coming

390
00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:27,039
over again, coming over to the States late October and

391
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,640
hoping to catch up with a few people. My my

392
00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:31,640
son in law is running in the New York Marathon,

393
00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:34,559
so I'm going to be over for that, but that's

394
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:36,440
that'll be the next time I'm over there.

395
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: Coral tell us about the hobby. That's how it's like

396
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,960
over there. And are there card shows over there?

397
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 4: There are, but they're they're they're overwhelmed by Pokemon, I

398
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,000
have to say, and which which tends to deter me.

399
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,119
What I've found is that there is a significant interest

400
00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:01,319
in basketball and soccer, uh English football Australians sports. We

401
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,119
have our local football league is called the AFL Australian

402
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,920
Football League. Its cards are very popular locally, obviously not internationally.

403
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:16,480
Cricket's very popular, but Pokemon has just swamped card shows generally, which,

404
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:19,200
as I say, makes it less than totally attractive for me.

405
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,799
There was a guy came out from the States to

406
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,720
a big show in Sydney a few weeks ago. I

407
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:28,720
can't remember his name, but he did a good video

408
00:23:28,759 --> 00:23:32,720
on the show up there, and I think there's a

409
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:35,400
few additional shows in Sydney compared to Melbourne.

410
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,279
Speaker 2: And where are you? What city are you in?

411
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,079
Speaker 4: I'm in Melbourne, WHI she's down the southern part of

412
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:46,559
the country on the east coast, still southeast coast. Melbourne's

413
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:50,440
the second largest city in Australia, soon to be the largest.

414
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,680
We're catching up to Sydney population wide. Sydney's got about

415
00:23:53,759 --> 00:23:57,519
five and a half million. We've got about five In Australia.

416
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:01,440
The population has concentrated significantly on the coast. There's hardly

417
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,599
any population in the interior. In terms of numerically, there's

418
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:10,599
very large cattle ranchers and what you guys would good

419
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,920
ranchers like there's I think there's one in I think

420
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,720
it's in Western Australia. That's the size of Belgium or

421
00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:19,759
something like that. I mean, the acreage of some of

422
00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:23,279
these places are staggering, but there's pretty poor, poor country

423
00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:26,079
in terms of utility in the ground. But I'm getting

424
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,480
jealous about not being out of course, but you know,

425
00:24:28,599 --> 00:24:33,480
you can't, you can't do absolutely everything. And I JT

426
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,400
has invited me to be the umpire in one of

427
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,680
his one of his shows in the next few weeks.

428
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,480
So I had arrived yesterday a National League umpire's hat

429
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,079
and I've bought a whistle to bring catch bring people

430
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,880
into line, and I intend to have the tiebreaker questions

431
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:57,119
based on Australian here so just to pivot up participants.

432
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,759
Happened to me if.

433
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,599
Speaker 1: Anyone referring to JT's Vintage Card Round and has a

434
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,440
new show called pre War Card Clash, which is basically, uh,

435
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,079
admittedly a rip showcase showdown completely war.

436
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

437
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,599
Speaker 4: Well, as I say, it's a complete rip off, that's it.

438
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,240
I don't think. I don't think Mike and Chris mind

439
00:25:20,279 --> 00:25:20,640
that much.

440
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: They got their blessing, Yeah, I think so.

441
00:25:23,319 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: I think you've got a lot of card shops down

442
00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:30,720
there too, not that many.

443
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,279
Speaker 4: There's more and more coming on, but again it's it's

444
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:40,759
all Pokemon based primarily, and they usually have a smattering

445
00:25:40,759 --> 00:25:44,839
of modern sports. I have very very little, very little

446
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,160
into mean, I would would not I would not keep them,

447
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:52,200
keep them profitable, that's for sure, because it's just hardly

448
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,880
anything there. But unfortunately by are A A and c

449
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,799
I A options have got me somewhat hooked at the moment,

450
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,240
so we will have limited funds, no idea.

451
00:26:05,559 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: Closing show. There's a stack of Carl from OZ wins.

452
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,559
Speaker 4: Well they one day for the next few months, John,

453
00:26:13,599 --> 00:26:16,279
because I do have to sign for shrugs.

454
00:26:16,279 --> 00:26:20,039
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, Brody, Carl was asking where you're from. Yeah,

455
00:26:21,599 --> 00:26:24,000
talk about this. Tell us about the card shows in

456
00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:26,839
your area. What are what are they and how are

457
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:27,640
they doing.

458
00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm actually only about thirty five forty minutes from

459
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,279
Rosemont from the convention centers.

460
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 5: They usually do.

461
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,079
Speaker 3: A couple, usually do two smaller ones there called the

462
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,920
Chicago Sports Spectacular, and I think it's usually in the

463
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,880
upstairs part that they're using for the National It's a

464
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,000
pretty decent show. A lot of autographed guests there as

465
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:51,759
well too. And then recently, in like the past year

466
00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:54,960
year and a half, there's a lot of just random

467
00:26:55,079 --> 00:26:57,799
shows and small towns popping up.

468
00:26:58,039 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 5: A lot of Pokemon too.

469
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 3: The couple I've been to recently, i'd say probably like

470
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:08,039
sixty seventy percent Pokemon. But yeah, it's pretty crazy because

471
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:09,799
a lot of these towns are really small, but.

472
00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 5: There's a lot of people there. It's crazy to see

473
00:27:13,519 --> 00:27:15,119
how many people are going to them.

474
00:27:15,319 --> 00:27:17,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think that's happening here too. We

475
00:27:17,799 --> 00:27:21,880
had a small show and really a small little I

476
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,720
guess you call her a town, even though we're here

477
00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:27,480
in Fort Lauderdale area in Cooper City, which you know,

478
00:27:27,559 --> 00:27:30,559
it's it's kind of a real small, you know, area,

479
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:33,839
and they did their first card show in Cooper City

480
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,440
here recent and stookes from it was here, you know,

481
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:40,799
in the area. He was staying in Best Palm and

482
00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:42,680
we met up at the show and I got to

483
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,079
tell you, you know, it was at one of these veteran

484
00:27:46,279 --> 00:27:50,240
halls type where it's pretty small, but it was packed.

485
00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:54,000
It was the first show there, and it was like

486
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,160
crazy packed, all of the full of the dealers and

487
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,720
you could barely walk on, you know, in the halls,

488
00:27:59,759 --> 00:28:02,039
I mean during the aisles, and I did a video.

489
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,119
I couldn't believe it. For the first show there. It

490
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,160
was packed and really a small little city and you

491
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,480
wouldn't expect that much out of that. So I think that, yeah,

492
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:12,960
not only are the shows coming up in the big

493
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,240
areas here like Miami and Fort Lauderdale, but you see

494
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:19,920
small shows coming up in places like Cooper City, which

495
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,440
is kind of a little little town. So I'm seeing

496
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,839
more shows opening in places where you would have never

497
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,440
expect to have shows at all.

498
00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:31,039
Speaker 4: And Orlando, the people attending them and that primarily young people.

499
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a lot of young people, a lot of

500
00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:36,440
modern a couple of vintage dealers, but the majority, again,

501
00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:41,319
the majority were modern and Pokemon cards is what you

502
00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:44,119
see in these shows. And and this the guy the

503
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,960
promoter was kind of a new promoter who had never

504
00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:50,319
seen before, so I think this was probably his first show.

505
00:28:50,799 --> 00:28:54,799
And he was a fairly young guy. So at a

506
00:28:54,839 --> 00:28:56,359
lot of shows coming A.

507
00:28:56,319 --> 00:28:58,079
Speaker 4: Couple of vintage dealers were thy busy.

508
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: Yes, they were busy. The whole show was busy. You know,

509
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,759
everybody was selling them. The dealers that I spoke to,

510
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,039
everybody looked like they were having a good.

511
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 4: Show, good interesting.

512
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,759
Speaker 2: And it was just a one day show. It went

513
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:11,519
a two day show.

514
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,799
Speaker 1: All right, yep, all right? Can we talk about backpacks

515
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:17,880
at shows? What's our opinion? I wear one nine sign

516
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,119
percent of the time, and I hate it because I'm

517
00:29:20,119 --> 00:29:22,920
bumping and getting bumped. It's because those card shows are

518
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,039
so popular and are packed full of people.

519
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:30,079
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, for me, Phil, I have a

520
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,279
small backpack that I carry with me when I go

521
00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:35,720
to the National, when I go to Strongsville, you know,

522
00:29:35,759 --> 00:29:38,160
when I go to the local shows, I don't I'll

523
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,079
bring it, but I have a like I wouldn't even

524
00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:44,279
consider it a backpack. It's it was a little thing

525
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:47,720
they gave away at a Disney World. So it's kind

526
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,160
of like a little that I got a Disney World cruise.

527
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,640
When I went to a Disney cruise, it's a small

528
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,119
little backpack that I just kind of carry with me.

529
00:29:55,319 --> 00:29:58,799
But those big backpacks are terrible, especially they cram them

530
00:29:58,799 --> 00:30:01,960
with boxes and boxes stuff. I mean, you're just bumping

531
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,119
into people constantly with that. So I try to bring

532
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,200
just a small, you know thing. It's bigger than a

533
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,720
fanny pack, but it's smaller than a regular backpack. But

534
00:30:13,839 --> 00:30:16,240
you got to have something to carry your cards and

535
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,559
you know, and when I go to the National or

536
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:21,559
a bigger show, I usually bring some cards who sell

537
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,920
or trade too, So I gotta have something to carry

538
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,160
it with. Yeah, more like a satchel.

539
00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:29,559
Speaker 1: Type satchel for your satchel exactly.

540
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, are you taking much to the National Landa to try.

541
00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to take some. Yeah, I've sent some cards

542
00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:39,880
to CIA, but I'm also going to take some cards.

543
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,519
Not necessarily am I going to trade or sell them

544
00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:46,359
if I don't have to, But if I find something

545
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,519
I really want, then you know, I'll have some trade

546
00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:52,839
bait with me just in case. But you know, the

547
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,039
stuff that i'm looking to sell, I'm trying to sell

548
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:57,680
it before the national send it over to CIA and

549
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,400
get rid of that. Or I always contact the doll

550
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,680
they're going to be there, you know, like a Garrett

551
00:31:02,759 --> 00:31:05,559
or stuff like that from ball park memories, and you know,

552
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,640
let him know what I've got and if he's interested,

553
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,839
then I'll bring some of that stuff. But for the

554
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,519
most part, I'll bring some cards that if I have

555
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,319
to sell, I will, but you know, it's gonna be

556
00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:17,000
stuff that if I if I don't sell it, I

557
00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:18,759
don't trade it. You know. If I don't find anything

558
00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:21,480
I really want, I'm good. But if I need some cash,

559
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,240
it's always good to bring some trade bait.

560
00:31:23,559 --> 00:31:24,079
Speaker 4: Yeah.

561
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 5: I think it depends too on what you're looking to buy.

562
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,079
Speaker 3: I mean, some people go and buy cases of stuff

563
00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:34,000
for you know, five boxes or something kind of carry it,

564
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,519
you know, and if you're like you said, if you're

565
00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:40,440
bringing stuff to trade, then sell you gotta put it somewhere.

566
00:31:40,759 --> 00:31:46,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. It was a slow hobby news week,

567
00:31:46,319 --> 00:31:52,480
so scraping around for something. Did see the fact that

568
00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:58,400
a article came out this week in ESPN, which you know,

569
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,319
when they're gonna talk sports, they're generally probably months behind

570
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,400
our conversations generally so, but the fact that it's might

571
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,319
get that many eyeballs being on that major of a

572
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:18,640
site still makes it intriguing. And that is this article here,

573
00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:24,759
Uh there we go. Could box breaking be considered gambling

574
00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:31,400
or lottery? Is there any chance that the sports card

575
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,279
industry is ever going to get any kind of regulation?

576
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:37,559
I personally, I don't think we're a big enough fish

577
00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:43,039
to matter still, But any thoughts, uh, Orlando.

578
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: I think they've tried to have some you know, we've

579
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,920
had a few lawsuits by there, but it's not gonna happen.

580
00:32:50,039 --> 00:32:52,279
You know, the government's too busy trying to get their

581
00:32:52,839 --> 00:32:56,680
act together. So I cannot see any regulation coming down

582
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,240
as far as breakers and things like that. I think,

583
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:04,319
you know, the hobby is going to have to police ourselves.

584
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:06,480
We're the ones that are going to have to, you know,

585
00:33:06,599 --> 00:33:09,359
look at these bad guys, you know, and we warn

586
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:12,839
another you know, our own community or YouTube community or

587
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,240
or publications are going to have to do our own

588
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:19,160
plumbs down to you know, the bad guys or stuff

589
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:25,039
that's happening. Like you know, recently, a UPS worker was

590
00:33:25,079 --> 00:33:28,680
literally stealing cards right from the post office and stuff

591
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,240
like that. And those are things that we need to

592
00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:33,160
make people aware of. But as far as the government

593
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,960
coming down, unless it's some huge thing, which you know

594
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:40,119
there was. I mean I heard that there was one

595
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,480
guy that was doing healthcare fraud and when they went

596
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:48,440
to investigate, they had bought millions of dollars of cards

597
00:33:47,839 --> 00:33:52,000
and fancy cars and houses with the money that they

598
00:33:52,359 --> 00:33:55,319
ripped off the government. So the FBI did get involved

599
00:33:55,359 --> 00:33:58,599
in that and they found you know, cards, mantle to

600
00:33:58,759 --> 00:34:03,000
mantles and leaf jackies or a bunch of those he

601
00:34:03,119 --> 00:34:07,079
had bought the funds that they stole. But other than that,

602
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,719
I don't see the government involved in any any regular

603
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,079
at all. I think it's gonna be up to us

604
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,800
and up to some of the companies like Whatnot, because

605
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,760
a lot of it have to be happening and whatnot.

606
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,440
I think they need to get involved and crack down

607
00:34:19,519 --> 00:34:22,960
on it. But what's happening now we're looking at eBay Live.

608
00:34:23,039 --> 00:34:27,559
We're competing against whatnot and eBay live more strict and

609
00:34:27,599 --> 00:34:31,239
they're the ones that are actually picking up certain people

610
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,440
breakers that they want on their site instead of a

611
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,559
whatnot who's taking whoever wants to come in and do

612
00:34:37,599 --> 00:34:41,239
it does it good or bad? You know it's it's

613
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,360
it's gonna be up to us to police our hobby

614
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,519
and let everyone know what's happening and who the bad

615
00:34:46,559 --> 00:34:49,360
guys are, who the good guys are my opinion, I

616
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,039
have decided.

617
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: Sorry, go ahead, Carl.

618
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 4: I know what I was going to say was I

619
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,639
found e Bay auction quite good to deal with the

620
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,800
I've made this complaint numerous times before. The only problem

621
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,239
I have with eBay is the horrendously expensive shipping costs,

622
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,760
particularly to get to hear any. A single card that

623
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,519
I buy that cost twenty bucks is going to cost

624
00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:16,639
me more than twenty bucks to get here, which I

625
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:22,679
can't control obviously. And as you're undoubtedly where eBay basically banned,

626
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:27,000
you're having direct negotiations with the seller. So unless you

627
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,159
can work out nefarious ways of in code telling you

628
00:35:30,199 --> 00:35:32,079
and telling them you want to talk to them directly,

629
00:35:33,159 --> 00:35:36,519
it's fairly difficult. And in fact, ninety nine percent of them,

630
00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:39,239
if they realize that you want to talk to them directly,

631
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,639
they will talk to you. But it's a bit tricky.

632
00:35:42,159 --> 00:35:43,480
But the other thing I was just going to mention,

633
00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:45,559
someone just put up a question asking me whether I

634
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:47,119
was going to be going to the NFL game that's

635
00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:49,480
going to be played in Melbourne in September, and I

636
00:35:49,519 --> 00:35:53,599
most definitely am it's it's at the Cricket Ground in Melbourne.

637
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,440
That's the largest part of me. The largest stadium we've

638
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,000
got here holds just on one hundred thousand. And I'm

639
00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:04,360
a member of the club that runs that. And in

640
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,079
saying I'm a member of the club that runs it,

641
00:36:06,199 --> 00:36:08,760
the club has one hundred thousand exclusive club at all

642
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:15,280
and the NFL gave club members are first crack at tickets.

643
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,199
You still have to buy them. But yeah, definitely going

644
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,639
to that. That's going to be on our date September

645
00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:22,960
the eleventh, so it'll be the tenth you audate, which

646
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,679
will be a Thursday, I think over there. No, it's

647
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,880
getting a lot of buzz, a lot of.

648
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 3: Football game's going down there and expanding internationally.

649
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had how long ago with it. It was about

650
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,280
twelve ten or twelve years ago. The Dodgers and the

651
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,039
Diamondbacks had their opening series in the baseball the Sydney

652
00:36:43,079 --> 00:36:45,559
Cricket Ground and my son and I went to that

653
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,880
and it was hugely successful as well. I mean Australians

654
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,440
will go to any international sport that comes. We are

655
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,199
somewhat of sport's nut country. Now rugby is big over there.

656
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,440
You have a rugby, there's a rugby. There's two forms

657
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,119
of rugby Orlando, there's union, which traditionally came out of

658
00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:05,800
the public what we call public but win in fact

659
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,679
private school system in England back in the nineteenth century.

660
00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:15,519
Union is considered gentleman's rugby rugby league which grew out

661
00:37:15,559 --> 00:37:18,920
of and it's a very similar game to rugby union.

662
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,400
Not quite as brutish, I have to say, because reunion's

663
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,920
pretty rough physically. But rugby league grew out of the

664
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:31,599
mining towns in northern England originally and came to Australia

665
00:37:31,639 --> 00:37:35,400
in the late nineties. And rugby is extremely popular in

666
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,480
the Northern States, Queensland and New South Wales. Not so

667
00:37:38,559 --> 00:37:42,880
much in Melbourne because Australian rules football grew out of

668
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,920
a hybrid of rugby and soccer in Melbourne during the

669
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,079
gold Rush period in the eighteen fifties, and even now,

670
00:37:51,679 --> 00:37:54,639
crazily Melbourne has this I'm trying to think. I think

671
00:37:54,679 --> 00:37:59,280
there's seventeen teams in our Australian Football League and it's

672
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,360
a national but twelve of those teams are based in Melbourne,

673
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,559
so it's incredibly It's still incredibly local in Melbourne but

674
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,800
gets massive crowds. I mean every weekend at the cricket

675
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,199
ground there's eighty thousand of the game. It doesn't matter

676
00:38:13,199 --> 00:38:16,800
who's playing. And they have games starting similar to what

677
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,920
you guys have with your football now Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday,

678
00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:24,000
Saturday afternoon Saturday night. And because there's teams now, there's

679
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,039
two Australian Football League teams in Sydney, two in Brisbane,

680
00:38:28,199 --> 00:38:31,159
two in Adelaide, two in Perth, and twelve or thirteen

681
00:38:31,199 --> 00:38:33,960
in Melbourne. And there's a new one about to begin.

682
00:38:34,039 --> 00:38:37,920
It'll be the nineteenth team based in Tasmania, the island

683
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,519
state below us. It's very popular in the Northern States,

684
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:42,320
Atlanta particularly.

685
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,159
Speaker 2: I know you mentioned basketball is popular over there. Do

686
00:38:46,199 --> 00:38:50,400
you think that bringing American football to Australia will help

687
00:38:50,639 --> 00:38:53,360
the American football cards?

688
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,599
Speaker 4: Yes, doubt of it. I know you collect that football cards, Yep,

689
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,840
yep again vintage. I love the nineteenth and fifties US

690
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,320
football cards. I think they're just pieces of art to

691
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:10,119
be honest, But funnily enough, one of my grandsons, whose

692
00:39:10,199 --> 00:39:12,119
dad is the one running in the New York Marathon.

693
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:18,199
He long story. He one played for an American football

694
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,599
under sixteen team in his local city, Geelong, which is

695
00:39:21,599 --> 00:39:24,639
the nearest big city to Melbourne, and they actually won

696
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:29,519
the National underage Gridiron Championship. He played in the Victorian team,

697
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,519
and let me say, it's a fairly low level of

698
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,360
entry in terms of quality of the game. But of

699
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,239
course he was delighted to win. And I had said

700
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,159
to him months before that if they won the tournament,

701
00:39:42,199 --> 00:39:46,000
I'd take him to the US on a American football tour.

702
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,519
So literally as he walked off the ground, he said,

703
00:39:48,519 --> 00:39:50,599
when are we going to the States? And we did

704
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:54,079
that last October November, went to games at Texas A

705
00:39:54,159 --> 00:39:58,239
and M Cowboys games. He has a great, great trip.

706
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,280
But he answered your question, it's definitely they'll be. There'll

707
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,760
be a boosting American football for sure.

708
00:40:04,159 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: All Right, it's feeling like we are topic light this week,

709
00:40:10,519 --> 00:40:14,000
so I am thinking let's just pass it around the

710
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:18,000
horn of what we got upcoming, and this just close

711
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:21,559
things out rather than drag it out. So yep, Orlando,

712
00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:23,719
what's up next on deck for you?

713
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 2: Well, I'll be going to a local card show next weekend,

714
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,440
the for Lauderdale Card Show. But I think the main

715
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,440
thing going on with me is what I what I

716
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,360
talked about earlier is my podcast. I'm very excited to

717
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:41,079
do that podcast with Sammy Thunder and Card Card Show Culture,

718
00:40:41,159 --> 00:40:43,599
and I'll be uploading the video today, so be on

719
00:40:43,639 --> 00:40:46,599
the lookout for that. But that should be fun. And

720
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,519
just you know, getting ready for the National, you know,

721
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,760
looking at my cards and seeing which cards I'm looking

722
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,039
to take over there and what cards do I really

723
00:40:56,079 --> 00:40:59,280
love and what cars like. You know, I'm still working

724
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,679
on consolate dating my collection some I have so many cards,

725
00:41:03,079 --> 00:41:05,800
you know, over so many years of collecting, that I'm

726
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,800
getting to a point that really I need to focus

727
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,440
some cards that I've always wanted, never been able to

728
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,039
get or never to afford, and use some of my

729
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,400
card capital to obtain some of those cards at the National.

730
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,039
So that's what I'm working on, and I just can't

731
00:41:22,039 --> 00:41:24,920
wait to see everybody there. I know Hobby Hotline is

732
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,320
going to have a dinner that they have every year.

733
00:41:28,119 --> 00:41:31,199
Unfortunately I think that's on a Saturday night. I think

734
00:41:31,199 --> 00:41:34,000
it is. I probably won't be able to attend that,

735
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,000
but I'll be at the National Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,

736
00:41:38,159 --> 00:41:42,199
and I'll be leaving maybe their Saturday morning, but my

737
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,199
flight leaves Saturday night.

738
00:41:44,519 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: Well, I think John Newman was talking then he's getting

739
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,760
a stage time for a hobby hotline even so that'd

740
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:53,440
be interesting.

741
00:41:53,679 --> 00:41:55,639
Speaker 2: If he invites me on, I'll be on and tell

742
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,840
me about that yet, but I'm ready to go. Last

743
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,960
time I was in the audience did that. I'll always

744
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:03,880
be there to watch my so called teammates be there.

745
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: Brody, how about you.

746
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 3: I'm doing the smart thing and trying to save some

747
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,400
money up for the Nationals. So I mean, if there's

748
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,920
a card shop that or a card show that pops up,

749
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,039
I'll go, but not lounded much.

750
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,119
Speaker 5: Gotta save up for the big show.

751
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,519
Speaker 3: But stay tuned on my socials for I'll be posting

752
00:42:22,559 --> 00:42:25,280
a ton at the National and different booths to check

753
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,480
out and events happening.

754
00:42:26,639 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: All right, and.

755
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: Can we find you on the socials?

756
00:42:32,199 --> 00:42:36,199
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm Brody TK on X and Brody the Kid

757
00:42:36,199 --> 00:42:37,440
one on Instagram.

758
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 4: You're not on YouTube.

759
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,159
Speaker 5: I do have a YouTube page. It's Brody the Kid

760
00:42:41,199 --> 00:42:42,000
on YouTube as well.

761
00:42:42,159 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 4: OKAYR Well, I'll subscribe as soon as I get off,

762
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,920
I had a couple of questions for you all and

763
00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:52,320
I regarding the Semi thunder collaboration. What is that going

764
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,199
to be hosted off your channel? Or he's how does that?

765
00:42:55,559 --> 00:42:56,920
How do we found it? Exactly?

766
00:42:57,159 --> 00:42:59,599
Speaker 2: We're going to post on both of our champ all right,

767
00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:02,719
we'll be on the Lookout and we do a you know,

768
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,079
it's about an hour show, and then we did a

769
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:10,159
fifteen minute kind of an after show which we continue

770
00:43:10,159 --> 00:43:14,639
the conversation, and that'll be on the Sports on the

771
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:18,960
Sports Call sports Car Clubhouse. All right, that'll be probably

772
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,840
a fifteen to twenty minute kind of after show type

773
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,480
thing of the hangover. Yeah, and you, Carl, what do

774
00:43:26,519 --> 00:43:27,159
you got going on?

775
00:43:28,159 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 4: Quite so, as I said, I'm going to try and

776
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,000
pull with regards to buying between now and next April,

777
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,480
I would like to give a very bridge shoutout, but

778
00:43:36,519 --> 00:43:40,360
I'm trying to find an economical price. Well, one thing

779
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,960
certainly won't be an economical price. I would love to

780
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,000
get hold of a ticket to what was the Tommy

781
00:43:47,039 --> 00:43:50,920
Burns Jack Johnson fight at Raskas Bay and Sydney backing

782
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,159
I think nine hundred and eight or nine and ten

783
00:43:53,679 --> 00:43:59,400
it's it's seemingly almost unobtainable, which which is not totally surprising.

784
00:43:59,679 --> 00:44:02,079
And and the other one that I'm trying to chase

785
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:07,280
is the Babe Dietrixton cards considered Goudy card. I can't

786
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:11,239
remember now sports sports teams, that's the one. Yeah, but

787
00:44:11,559 --> 00:44:16,239
again one does have certain budgetary constraints, so I just

788
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,320
have to manage that. But other than that, fairly quiet time.

789
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,639
Our football season is about half over. The team I

790
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,119
follow in it as on the edge of the playoffs,

791
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:28,440
having had a terrible start of the season. Funnily enough,

792
00:44:28,519 --> 00:44:31,440
the finals will start in Melbourne literally the day after

793
00:44:31,519 --> 00:44:34,440
the NFL game in Melbourne, so they'll be working twenty

794
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,079
four hours after the NFL game to reconfigure the stadium.

795
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,760
But other than that, quiet time will land it.

796
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Carl you channel, I thank you, simplical Carl

797
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:45,519
from OZ.

798
00:44:46,639 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 4: It's funny. My kids, who are both adults, they were

799
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,039
somewhat amused when I said I was going to start

800
00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:53,639
this channel, and they said, oh, how often are you

801
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,000
going to do it? And I said, oh, about once,

802
00:44:56,119 --> 00:45:00,599
maybe twice a week. And I think I've just repelled that, John,

803
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:05,119
I think I've just recorded my seventy fifth video in

804
00:45:05,159 --> 00:45:07,599
the last five months, so I think I've been a

805
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:11,679
bit obsessive. I've forward posted a few for the next

806
00:45:11,679 --> 00:45:16,000
few weeks, primarily on things that I've picked up, and

807
00:45:16,039 --> 00:45:17,840
I try and I'm going to try and vary this

808
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,079
apart from anything else. I think a lot of people

809
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,280
perhaps take the approach to people showing what they've picked

810
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,440
up all the time as simply showing off, and I

811
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,760
don't want to. I sincerely don't want to come across

812
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,079
that way. The problem I have is that I get

813
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:32,840
so excited about some of the stuff that I get

814
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,519
I like to display it, particularly that mister Murphy card

815
00:45:36,519 --> 00:45:39,480
that you so kindly Orlando let me have a free

816
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,159
crackout at the auction two or three weeks ago. We've

817
00:45:42,159 --> 00:45:44,000
got to do a video about that guy too, because

818
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,119
he's an amazing character.

819
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: Anyone who takes that approach and the comments negatively, I

820
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,639
hope you are happier in the future, because clearly you're

821
00:45:54,679 --> 00:45:58,079
not happy right now because you're crapping on somebody who

822
00:45:58,119 --> 00:46:01,280
loves something and they're just excited to show it to

823
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:01,719
the world.

824
00:46:02,199 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true, that's true. That's true.

825
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:07,480

850
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:58,039
Speaker 1: These are all live streams. I will have created playlists

851
00:47:58,159 --> 00:48:00,960
for each of the days so that if you just

852
00:48:01,039 --> 00:48:03,719
want to watch non stop all day long, you just

853
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,280
fire up that playlist and they'll run the show to

854
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,000
show to show as the day goes on.

855
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 2: So remember that it's all frigniture for soldiers. That's what

856
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:14,039
it's all about. Guys.

857
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 4: Yep.

858
00:48:14,559 --> 00:48:16,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be great to see all the YouTube co

859
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,000
creators on there. But the key is that we want

860
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:22,559
to raise more than the eight thousand dollars that we

861
00:48:22,679 --> 00:48:26,079
raised last year, so you know, save a little bit

862
00:48:26,079 --> 00:48:29,400
of money before the National to donate signiture for soldiers.

863
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,159
It's a great cause. And Brody anything else you need

864
00:48:32,199 --> 00:48:34,039
to say about that, because I know they're your friends.

865
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 3: Oh yes, Tim's awesome. I like I said too. I

866
00:48:38,039 --> 00:48:40,199
would make sure you go on check out his eBay

867
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,840
and follow him on X. He's always posting stuff on

868
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,360
X and National too. If you see me, say.

869
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,559
Speaker 2: Hi, and he'll have a booth right at the National

870
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:49,199

00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,920
help can on don You will.

873
00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: Have all that information very clear. This year we're gone.

874
00:49:00,679 --> 00:49:04,519
I'm not working as an intermediary. I've had enough of

875
00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:08,360
trying to do that. I know it helps for doing

876
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,840
real time, same day prize giveaways because then I know

877
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,840
exactly who's done the charity and I can set up

878
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:20,800
those wheels to spin, because the thing we do each

879
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,440
time is every ten dollars you donate gets you a

880
00:49:23,559 --> 00:49:27,719
name on the wheel. And so there are various prizes.

881
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,719
Once again, Scott from Reindeer Studios is generously offering his

882
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:37,639
time to create a custom piece of artwork for the show.

883
00:49:39,039 --> 00:49:43,280
And there'll be various other prizes in the mix that

884
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,719
are donated by some of our sponsors as well as

885
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,079
just some folks in the community that generously want to

886
00:49:50,079 --> 00:49:53,360
throw a prize in the mix. And all that detail

887
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,280
will be coming soon. I'm trying to put together the

888
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,440
previews show as one of my four collectors released this

889
00:50:00,599 --> 00:50:06,440
week midweek, so so all that information should be compiled soon.

890
00:50:06,519 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 4: Here.

891
00:50:08,119 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: Outside of that, I'm also hosting the live stream tomorrow

892
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,360
that is nine Eastern. We've got just a group for

893
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,840
a fun card showing of collectors. The theme for this

894
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,320
is going to be where all picking our favorites or

895
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,559
best or however they want to pick it. Card for

896
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:34,840
each position major League player, you know, baseball. You know,

897
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,639
it could be anywhere from a modern card to an

898
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,679
old pre war card. I mean, I'm thinking about my picks.

899
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,000
I've got a nineties card, an eighties card in the

900
00:50:44,039 --> 00:50:46,559
mix as well as going all the way back. So

901
00:50:47,079 --> 00:50:51,000
it should be a fun card showing. And then so

902
00:50:51,159 --> 00:50:55,000
like I said, it's my turn also for the pre

903
00:50:55,079 --> 00:51:00,480
record show, which I will be getting that information out

904
00:51:00,519 --> 00:51:03,760
this week as far as how the donations will work,

905
00:51:04,159 --> 00:51:06,840
as well as previewing a bit of who all the

906
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:12,280
host lineup is and you know, giving at least the

907
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,599
preliminary times before maybe people start to beg me to

908
00:51:15,639 --> 00:51:21,800
ask to switch. That's that's a lot of what I've

909
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,840
been doing the last month is contacting all these people.

910
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,280
You know, a few folks are on vacation, so then

911
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,000
I bring in somebody else into the mix, and uh yeah,

912
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,719
it's a bit of work organizing a twenty nine different

913
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:40,119
hosts live stream over three days. So but it's all

914
00:51:40,159 --> 00:51:42,519
for a good cause and I hope you will all

915
00:51:42,599 --> 00:51:47,519
be donating generously for that. So that's all I've got
