Huh, 26 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,719 my wife? 27 00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 2: I say that I was able to sub was the 28 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,159 wax Sports one of their story Monday Cup. Why don't 29 00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:17,520 we do that? As Delhi is literally a hunt, we 30 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,400 may do world War like. I don't have to dent 31 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,280 for another of their grand open store closer. 32 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: So I guess, as the resident hobby hotline soccer guy, 33 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,759 I gotta say I've waited my entire life to see 34 00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:35,599 the US play this in a World Cup. I mean. 35 00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:42,479 And yeah, you can say it's only Paraguay, it's only Australia, 36 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,159 but still, I mean, if if you're Paraguay, right, if 37 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,400 you if you qualify out of South America, you have 38 00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:53,439 to run the gauntlet because there's only ten countries in 39 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,159 South America. You play all the other nine nations twice 40 00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:00,000 and that's eighteen games. And they can't give up only 41 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,800 six goals in eighteen games in South American qualifying and 42 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,439 we scored four on them. I mean, and they did 43 00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:11,439 it without their best player for the second half of 44 00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:14,680 the first game. And they did it without Polisic for 45 00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:19,520 the uh second game against Australia. So I am just 46 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,159 excited they won the group with one game left left. 47 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,319 Despair and yeah, what do you guys think? Are you 48 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,800 on the bandwagon? I have? 49 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: I mean I was watching that like r. 50 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:36,599 Speaker 1: Row. 51 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: We are struggling today. 52 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,159 Speaker 1: There he is. I don't know what happened. Rich, you're 53 00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:47,159 on mute. Rich. All right, let's let's take Rich off 54 00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:51,120 for a second. Like I said, I'm not the normal 55 00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:52,000 engineer here. 56 00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: All right, you're doing great, Chris. 57 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,719 Speaker 1: No, I'm trying. I'm trying to get going. 58 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: We're trying on the internet issues. We're fighting the odds here. 59 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: So let me ask you, Laurena. Have you been watching 60 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,400 the World Cup, not not just the US but all 61 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,080 the other games? Well, have you been watching. 62 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,599 Speaker 3: Or I haven't been watching consistently. I have been trying 63 00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:18,800 to check in and see the updates and stuff. Will say, Chris, 64 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,879 if you had been this committed to the women's team, 65 00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:25,000 you wouldn't have been as disappointed for so long because 66 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,959 they Yeah, I know it's not the same, but it's uh, 67 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,800 you know, they at least carried period the country for 68 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,519 a little bit, so I'm sure it's it's nice for 69 00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:39,319 you know, the men's USA teams actually stay in contention, 70 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:41,439 I know for the Olympics and for the World Cup. 71 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,199 Usually it's kind of a bummer. So I'm glad they 72 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,079 have something for guilt root for. I mean, the Knicks 73 00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:48,959 did it, so why not Team USA? 74 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:49,199 Speaker 4: Right? 75 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: Why not? It's been fifty three years, so I think 76 00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:57,319 we've waited for the US for a little bit longer 77 00:04:57,319 --> 00:05:00,920 than that. But uh yeah, let's go to the chat. 78 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:05,800 There's been some interesting uh comments. Straight afore Moves is 79 00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:10,199 running smoother than hobby Hotline. You could say that, uh 80 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,279 four collectors didn't pay the bill this month. Maybe fanatics 81 00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:20,120 hacked into the stream. If they did that, maybe this 82 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,480 show is going to be like one million Cubs show 83 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,680 once a month. No, the soccer guy was in charge. 84 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,879 That explains every it does. Hold on a sec. Are 85 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,800 we back there, Rich? Have you Rich? I'm here. 86 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: Here? 87 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: Is it time for a hydration break? Yet? No? Not yet? 88 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,279 Still have about fifteen more minutes to go before we 89 00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:51,160 get to the hydra. Uh have some good mornings from 90 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,199 Pacemaker cards. More good mornings. Shout out to the people 91 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,759 watching live. Rich is a gift to the man. Let's 92 00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:08,439 see what's the agenda. We're talking soccer baby. Every four years, 93 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:17,079 America is reminded how insignificant their homegrown sports are insignificant. Okay, 94 00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:22,560 Rich didn't think long to fulfill his plug obligations. Not 95 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,480 sure if that's a compliment or not. Imagine getting jazzed 96 00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:32,439 over the group stage. Well find Joey where you could? 97 00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: You know? 98 00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, see what else I'm calling commercial breaks? Hydration breaks 99 00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:43,920 is revolutionary? Kudos to FIFA. Is the draw of soccer 100 00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:49,240 the game or the party surrounding? Kind of both, kind 101 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:55,120 of both. Team Turkey has sabotaged this Team USA propaganda 102 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,480 ahead of the June twenty fifth match, and that's because 103 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,199 Turkey a lost last night, so they're eliminated and the 104 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,160 US automatically won the group so that third group stage 105 00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:10,800 game means nothing. Go Chris go, you got this. Thank you, Laura. 106 00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:14,160 Like I said, it's been a while since I've actually 107 00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:18,199 done this. So I'm ready to move to Holland just 108 00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:23,000 to follow the bus. And yeah they so, Holland has 109 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,480 this orange double decker bus that goes with them everywhere, 110 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:31,519 and they shipped that bus to Galveston just for the 111 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,720 World Cup and it almost came in late, by the way, 112 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:40,879 So let's see the Scottish invasion of Boston. We got 113 00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:46,360 to talk about these Scottish kids. They literally drank Boston dry. 114 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,920 I mean, the Sam Adams tap house bar ran out 115 00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:54,600 of beer. 116 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: I mean. 117 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: But the thing is that this has been the first 118 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,920 World Cup Skyland has been since nineteen so you have 119 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:09,120 a lot of pent up demand. But yeah, the Scottish 120 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:15,279 fans chef's gifts to those guys. Let's see any anything 121 00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:19,759 else here. Yeah, I'm thinking about doing the landon Donovan 122 00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:26,839 whatever he did. Bring up the receding hairline. I'm middle aged. Okay, 123 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,120 the reflection pool paint job will last longer than the USMNT. 124 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,879 The reflection pool paint job is actually starting to peel up. 125 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,720 I was watching something on the news today that chunks 126 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,039 of blue paint are already peeling off it. 127 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:45,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, they can have dual relics in the top. 128 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, what a what a metaphor for our times. By 129 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:55,320 the way, anyway, soccer, Yeah, it's here. We're good at it. Now, 130 00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:59,679 get used to it. Let's move on to another topic. God, 131 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,679 there's a lot of other hobby. A certain basketball team 132 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,399 won the NBA Finals. You may have heard for the 133 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,960 first time in fifty three years the New York Cannicks. 134 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,320 Is that how you pronounced it? 135 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:21,039 Speaker 3: I believe that, or is the k silent Knickerbuckers the Kinnickerbockers. 136 00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: All right, well, I guess since this is a hobby show, 137 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,600 we have to have a hobby angle here. What what 138 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,879 do you think this does to basketball cards in general 139 00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:38,200 and Knicks cards in particular. I'll open the floor up 140 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,120 to uh, either one of you. 141 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 3: We'll rich back that off earlier. 142 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 2: So I think I was shocked because with the score 143 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,519 and was five or that we're going six? And I 144 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,399 woke up to this nick one? Uh did I wake 145 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,799 up in the og? Was really the old on a 146 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,679 hobby Lepologies to those not It's always good when it's 147 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,600 so that helps. And this will lead into an upcome 148 00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:05,879 topic too. It's really depressed the women because are p 149 00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:10,519 after loss. You have probably a generational young player still 150 00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:12,720 going through a learning As I said, we'll talk about 151 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,840 it later, but as a Knicks enjoy the moment and 152 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,559 also enjoy I wonder how many tops and tops and 153 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,159 tops two months are going to have all these celenda 154 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,120 background These celebrities turn out to be an important part 155 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,519 of quote height of the card mark. We recently had 156 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,399 a Yasiel Topskisa so for like sixty k because some 157 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,759 guy named Kobe deconvisible on the back of the card 158 00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:42,440 sharing the Dodgers. I mean sixty thousand dollars. That's that's 159 00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:45,200 a lot of money. But that's He's not the only 160 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:47,360 celebrity in the back of all cards sitting on the 161 00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:50,639 select front road. You show up on cards, and so 162 00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:54,080 we have that. But plus, you know, we have the 163 00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:57,360 three guys from Villanova who were national Villanova and they 164 00:10:57,399 --> 00:11:00,120 are now and we have the Oge tap which tops 165 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,159 now sold some insane in the cards and rightly so, 166 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,960 because that's going to be a signal. And it brought 167 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,799 back some interest in the old Knicks. You know, I 168 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,879 grew up watching I was young. But may not believe 169 00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:16,039 my wife, but I remember the seventh NBAF. I remember 170 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:18,200 the seventh NBA. We all thought the Knicks were going 171 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,919 to be competitive for a long time. Fifty three years 172 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,679 is almost as long as it took the Ranger for 173 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,919 New York doesn't always get champions. 174 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: Other than that's true, I mean, there were there was 175 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:33,080 a lot of especially in the two thousands and twenty tens. 176 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,320 I'll be back in confidence incompetent management from the Knicks. 177 00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:43,200 So let's take Rich off for the other side.

I didn't have 187 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,440 you know, Orlando exited once again in the first round, 188 00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,200 so I didn't have a dog in this fight. I 189 00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:18,200 just thought it was a fun series and I was 190 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,240 happy for it to go to Game seven. But yeah, 191 00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,559 the Knicks got it done and there he is. Yeah, 192 00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:27,720 it was It was really cool to see. I think 193 00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:31,360 the story, the storylines, and the timing lined up just 194 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,840 right for the NIXT I I know, hobby wise, I 195 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,240 think Wemby's cards took hit, but I don't think that's 196 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,240 like a long term thing he's I mean, is this 197 00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:45,679 part of his legacy obviously and be part of his story, 198 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,080 But I don't think it's like a massive l on 199 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,120 his career. It's it's a moment, you know, it gives 200 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,639 him an opportunity for redemption. His furs are used to 201 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,039 being a dynasty, the Knicks are not. It's you know, 202 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,240 it's gonna be interesting, and I'm I'm happy for the 203 00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:03,000 Knicks because it is a great story. Jayalen Brunson, you know, 204 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,720 he put that team on his back and scored like 205 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,080 forty three points in that final game and Og really 206 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,879 came in clutched pat and yeah in the Villanova angle 207 00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:15,200 and and and yeah. In fIF three years of redemption 208 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,559 in you know, one of the greatest city in the world, 209 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,399 and you know, the legends, get Patrick Ewing being able 210 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,919 to you know, be in a parade and hold the 211 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:29,440 trophy like it's really cinematic. It's really beautiful. And uh yeah, 212 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,200 the you know, the Knicks people. There's so many clips 213 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,960 of people like Jon Stewart you know, for twenty five 214 00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:39,879 years talking about the Knicks on the Daily Show and 215 00:13:40,039 --> 00:13:44,279 his disappointment and staying loyal And to now see everybody 216 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,320 a little bit more gray and a little bit more 217 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,840 wrinkled and actually being able to celebrate it's really cool. 218 00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:52,759 It's really exciting. It gives me hope as an Orlando 219 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,960 Magic fan, because we're only about thirty five years into 220 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,600 our franchime, so hopefully, you know, by the time i'm 221 00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:03,679 you know, seventy will have at least one. But yeah, 222 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,600 I think it's great. The car I mean to talk 223 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,840 about the cards, the tops now, it's really cool. The 224 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,399 relics that they did, the the quintuple autograph that's of 225 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,919 the starting five. Yeah, it's beautiful, like it's you know, 226 00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:24,519 the the Jalen Brunson and Walt Fraser relic Auto relic 227 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,120 card of the floors, like it's everything is just really like, uh, 228 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,000 it's it's just really lining up like beautifully, Like it 229 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,919 just kind of ties up in a nice neat bow 230 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,759 with all the good, feel good stories and and you 231 00:14:36,759 --> 00:14:39,720 know the history and you know, fifty three years and 232 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,080 it's I think, you know, I'm sure if you're a 233 00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:44,440 first fan, it doesn't feel that good. But if you're 234 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,440 a basketball fan, especially if you're a Knicks fan, I 235 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,399 think and a hobby and a collector and the hobby, 236 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,159 I think that this is probably one of the best 237 00:14:53,159 --> 00:14:55,440 things that could have happened to you. It just feels good. 238 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,720 It's a feel good story and it's exciting. Everybody's excited 239 00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,799 for everybody, which. 240 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: And unlike previous some previous basketball teams, the Knicks are likeable. Yeah, 241 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,440 and then something there too. The players are all likable 242 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,200 and that and that also helps forget you know, skipping 243 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,919 and skipping the price and they're likable and that does 244 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,039 you know you're you're a baskets And if I remember 245 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,759 the basketball sport, yeah, yeah, to hear you say what 246 00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:21,919 you said, I think you know, Chris is a soccer 247 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:25,120 Chris just befing down to watch his soccer here in Dallas. 248 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,120 We got to hang out, like in late February of 249 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,000 twenty twenty. 250 00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:32,519 Speaker 1: Who was going to happen before the pandemic. Yeah, but 251 00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:34,000 hearing that is great. 252 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,639 Speaker 2: You'd be great for you know, Orlandoky. I believe that 253 00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:38,720 was not. So we got swept. You know, they got 254 00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:39,919 to the finals yep. 255 00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then two thousand and nine. 256 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you've been waiting a long time. 257 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, not as long as the Knicks fans though. So 258 00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:49,320 that's why it gives me hope. I got, you know, 259 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,679 about twenty ish years of wiggle room before I can 260 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,960 really start the plane again. 261 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,519 Speaker 1: Yeah. But the twenty years go to the chat Thank god, 262 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,919 we don't need to hear from Knicks fans for another 263 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:08,879 fifty years. Yeah, this is the moment when Europeans realize 264 00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:12,559 their vacation of La Houston, New York. Who goes to 265 00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:17,519 Who wants to vacation in Houston without a car? David 266 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,000 Robinson better than Wemby? Yeah, sure about that. Get back 267 00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:25,000 to us in about five or six years. Let's see, 268 00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:29,039 hobby is populated by people who collect what they like, 269 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,440 not what they're told to. Yes, I agree, you don't 270 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,240 become a generational player until ten to fifteen years in 271 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:41,360 the league. He's a generational prospect. It won't end well 272 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,200 for Wemby cards and never would out of the gate 273 00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:49,679 once the nonsense started. Nonsense, I don't know what that's 274 00:16:50,799 --> 00:16:53,720 I did a line with Bernard King, Well, that explains 275 00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:57,120 a lot. Don't do drugs? Do cards? 276 00:16:57,159 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 2: Can? 277 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: I agree with Rich's wife? Rich? You just got a 278 00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:06,799 yellow card? So yeah, let's see. Why does every hobby 279 00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:10,920 topic happen to mention the price attached to player? Well, 280 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,640 it's a hobby show, just saying asking for a small 281 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,559 minority of collectors. Look, I could care less how much 282 00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:24,039 a card A rare one of one card sell because 283 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,839 I'm never gonna collect it. I'm never gonna buy it. 284 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,359 But there are some people who genuinely orangeury. I know 285 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,759 a couple of like maybe a month ago, a one 286 00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:38,119 of one of Barry Bonds sold for like two hundred 287 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,200 and sixty thousand dollars. Well, a couple of years ago, 288 00:17:42,519 --> 00:17:46,559 I bought a box at nineteen ninety nine Flear Cards 289 00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:49,559 Player Showcase and guess what, I pulled a one on 290 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,079 one Barry Bond. So that kind of interests me. And no, 291 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,880 I'm not selling it. Everything is better when New York wins. No, 292 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,640 I don't agree, especially for those of us that don't 293 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:09,880 ne York after fifty years. I'm happy for the Knicks. Okay, 294 00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:13,960 the greatest seven foot four frenchmen of all time remains 295 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:20,160 Andre the Giant. Yeah, I agree. Remember when Tops did 296 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,279 Subway token cards in two thousands, that was for They 297 00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:26,920 made a special set for the World Series that year, 298 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,240 I believe, and. 299 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 2: Those were great, And I'll agree those were. 300 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,039 Speaker 1: It was a cool set, cool concept. It'll be interesting 301 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,799 non Knicks fans will soon load the franchise. The celebrity 302 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:43,559 and fans success breeds anti fans. What does the Knicks 303 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:49,359 Championship do for the bip Roberts market now important question? Well, 304 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,000 I mean we could take a whole episode of Bobby 305 00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:56,200 Hotla to discuss the bip Roberts Market, but we gotta 306 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,519 save that for another day. Wemby was scared on was 307 00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:04,079 never scared. He needs to bulk up like Andre back 308 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,160 up on shooting too many threes. He's a hack. He 309 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,440 needs to get better advice. Wemby. He needs to hire 310 00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:12,680 Bobby the Brain, he'd be his manager. 311 00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:15,039 Speaker 2: No, he needs classy, Freddy Blassie. 312 00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:21,279 Speaker 1: Miami is on fire. So many soccer fans here and 313 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,440 free events. Yeah, all of these cities that are having 314 00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:26,240 World Cup. 315 00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 2: Man, it's been it's been quite. 316 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: It's all about the flip. Money is the root of 317 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:40,079 all evil. Flippers are evil, not necessarily flippers serve a purpose. 318 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,119 I believe in the hobby. Nick's bandwagon is the only 319 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,519 one I don't want to jump on. Okay, And when 320 00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:51,240 will the Rangers or Islanders win Stanley's Cup? I think 321 00:19:51,279 --> 00:19:56,640 it's gonna be a while. Yeah, let's see. I think 322 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,599 it's time for a hydration break. What do you think?

You know, they have a lot of teaths. 363 00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:34,960 So I like it there. I'm in general happy. I 364 00:22:35,079 --> 00:22:37,240 like that it's in different places. I know a lot 365 00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:41,759 of people want them to go to Westernsissippi, but I 366 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,960 I like it in Chicago. I don't really care at 367 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,119 this point, you know, I don't really care one way 368 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,599 or the other that we're doing three years in a 369 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,920 row there. I'm just excited about it. I like it. 370 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,680 I also like that I'm familiar with show floor and 371 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,839 you know, getting in and and how where was it 372 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,960 was Cleveland where the parking and the getting out was 373 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,319 staying It took like three hours to get out of 374 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,279 the parking lot at the end of the show. So, 375 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,400 you know, like I think Chicago's familiar. I think people 376 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,039 can kind of improve their experience every year because they, Okay, 377 00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:19,519 this hotel's too far. I'd rather stay at one that's 378 00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:22,640 actually connected. You know, do I want to uber do 379 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,200 I want to walk? Do I want to stay in 380 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,160 the city. Do I want to stay in Rosemont? So 381 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,880 I think it gives people the opportunity to have a 382 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,640 better experience. But you know, we all like to think. 383 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,119 So if I wanted to complain, I'm sure I could 384 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,200 find a lot of things that I don't like about it. 385 00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 2: So part of me has always said that the Nationals 386 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,200 should be in Roseman. It's the center of the country. 387 00:23:43,599 --> 00:23:47,200 The airline is truly excessive, cab ride uber ride with 388 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,720 tons of hotels in the air replaces to eat, and 389 00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:51,599 if you don't want to stay at the hotel, you know, 390 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,759 and if you know how to do the trains, can 391 00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:56,119 stay outside the area and just and it's a short 392 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,519 enough walk to that. And also if you want to 393 00:23:58,559 --> 00:24:00,480 park twelve the area and you don't want to do 394 00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:04,279 all the block, that zob too. So on our levels, 395 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,799 the National meeting in Chicago every makes a ton of set. 396 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,920 On the other hand, the whole purpose when the National, 397 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,160 and I'm old enough to know when that, was to 398 00:24:14,279 --> 00:24:17,720 move it around the early years, we started into Detroit, 399 00:24:17,799 --> 00:24:20,759 went to Saint York City, AKA, then we went to 400 00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:24,559 back to Anna Hotel, We went to Arlington, we went 401 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,359 in eighty seven to San Francisco, eighty eight, Atlantic City 402 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,400 in Chicago, Nady Arlington for the Monster in Anaheim. And 403 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,559 then it got more corporate and we stopped moving every 404 00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:38,240 single year we spent. Then we had Smith Bucklin. We 405 00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:41,720 went to Atlanta, then Chicago, so we went to a 406 00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:44,279 lot of difference and that was kind of cool. But 407 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,359 if you keep the National in just one location, some people, oh, 408 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,119 it's just going to be a big show with all 409 00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:54,279 the content creators and everybody gets to Chicago. I don't 410 00:24:54,279 --> 00:24:56,440 think it's really a big remort, I think, but I'm 411 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,680 excited to hear about you think that's kind of cool. 412 00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:02,200 So I am not one hundred percent of Chicago, but 413 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,400 I'm not one hundred against in Chicago multiple and I 414 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,200 think we can. I think the board when I say 415 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,319 in the National managers get it mostly there is something 416 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,440 we discussed lay. I disagree strongly with them upon but 417 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,519 I understand. But I think they're doing the best day 418 00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:20,000 can members that the vote on where the National is 419 00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:22,799 not the three of us decisions. The dealers actually and 420 00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:26,200 the vendors want to be in Chicago, They'll be in. 421 00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:30,759 Speaker 1: But wasn't there like a rule in the NSCC bylines 422 00:25:30,839 --> 00:25:34,319 that said, not only could you not have the National 423 00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:37,000 in the same city in back to bac year, not 424 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,720 only could you not have it in the same state 425 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,720 in back to back years, but you couldn't have it 426 00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:45,480 in a bordering state in back to the. 427 00:25:46,079 --> 00:25:49,599 Speaker 2: Found I was actually at the meeting. It was at 428 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,279 a bar at the eighty three Chicago National, and with 429 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,039 my terrible handwriting, and I've written about this through it, 430 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,799 I was having notes when we started creating bylines for 431 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,039 the dad by law for that, and it was the 432 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,599 National all the dealers, so you couldn't state and it 433 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,359 had to be four hundred. That's I don't think those 434 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,279 rules exist anymore. And again I'm okay with but that 435 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,079 was by eighty because we were getting stuck in a middle. 436 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,440 As I pointed, he won the Detroit area eighty two area. 437 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,240 God though we were in a Midwestern. 438 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I don't mind it going back to 439 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,240 Rosemont every couple of years, but I think you have 440 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,880 to have it in the Northeast at least once every 441 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,759 four or five years, I think, and other than Baltimore, 442 00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:36,559 if they ever get their act together and expand there, 443 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,599 because the Baltimore Nationals of the early twenty to tens 444 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,680 were great. It's just that the show's out grown it. 445 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,440 The only other place that you can have a National 446 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:53,400 realistically is Atlantic City. Yeah, everybody, everybody dumps on Atlantic City, 447 00:26:53,519 --> 00:26:58,720 but it is the facility itself is actually pretty. It is. Yeah, 448 00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:00,680 let's go to the chat. 449 00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: If you're coming from out of town from a place 450 00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:07,640 like Dallas, it is a terrible way. You have to 451 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,640 fly to Philly and figure out an hour. 452 00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:11,559 Speaker 3: How to get there's a train. 453 00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 2: If you live in the megal Atlantic cities and you 454 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,519 can drive there, if you can drive to Lake City, 455 00:27:17,799 --> 00:27:20,880 the area, it's a great option, good place for others, 456 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,519 it's not so good. And I say this Atlantic City, 457 00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:24,599 by the way, growing up. 458 00:27:24,559 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 3: Was like it was for a lot of community, my 459 00:27:26,759 --> 00:27:27,799 grandparents and my dad. 460 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know the so Lauren, you know what 461 00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:34,720 I'm coming. I'm not anti Atlantic City. It's just a 462 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,720 way to get there. You know. 463 00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: There there is a train that Philadelphia let you off 464 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,880 right at the convention center. I'm just saying, you don't 465 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,880 have to actually stay in Atlantic City for an Atlantic 466 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,400 City Nash. Let's go to the chat here. 467 00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 3: Orlando said, not not dinner up, but Orlando actually said 468 00:27:55,039 --> 00:27:57,400 that Orlando would be a good place for a show. 469 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,079 And I agree. I've had this conversation before. I mean, 470 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,920 we're biased, we're in Florida, but Orlando has had really 471 00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:08,920 major cons here. You know, I know Disney is post 472 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,599 black to talk about like you know, the dream booking. 473 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,200 You know, you can come with your family and you 474 00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:16,960 can go to the card show. They can go to 475 00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:19,000 the parks. They can stay at the hotel and swim 476 00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:22,160 at the pool all day. They have a they have 477 00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:26,519 a great convention center. There's hotels, all along. It's very walkable. 478 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,279 I mean, it's Orlando, so it is built for tourists. 479 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: But the thing is is that, you know, every large 480 00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:38,400 city in America has a convention center that could host 481 00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:42,799 the national It's just that can you afford to go there? 482 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:43,279 Speaker 2: Right? 483 00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:45,599 Speaker 1: I mean, I love it if the Javit Center in 484 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,240 Midtown Manhattan would be a great place to have a national, 485 00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:52,759 But I don't think the NFCC could afford that place. 486 00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:56,480 Fanatics can for fanatics. That's why they have it there, 487 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,759 you know that. That's why we keep going to the 488 00:28:59,799 --> 00:29:03,960 Sea the NSC Steve, why we go to the Stephens 489 00:29:04,039 --> 00:29:08,839 Center in Rosemont instead of McCormick Place in downtown Chicago, 490 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,000 which is the largest convention center in the United States. 491 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,759 By the way, the ninety was that McCormick play. Let's 492 00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:17,839 go to the one million Cubs. 493 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,839 Speaker 2: Anaheim is a great place for a national as well. 494 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,119 I'm glad Rob Verus is doing so well. West Sports 495 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,920 Show there, you know he runs. I believe Actually this 496 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,880 year it's the same weekend as Fanatics Fest and the 497 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,160 Dallas Card Show. Talked about a fun week and the 498 00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:36,680 final you could hit all three if you've got enough. 499 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,720 But Anaheim. There's a lot of hotels nearby. You've got 500 00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:44,400 a lot of good turn things and a great place 501 00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:46,759 for a national. If you could get the dealers to 502 00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:48,880 say they'd go there, I think you'd have a better 503 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,119 shot of getting Orlando over over Anaheim, just because it's 504 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,440 closer to the East coast. Atlanta did fairly well when 505 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,960 they voted, you know, and I will say Orlando is fair. 506 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,079 They have a show called If I Remember Fun, which 507 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,759 is a coin show every January, which is a popular 508 00:30:06,799 --> 00:30:08,200 among all the coin teams. Yeah. 509 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,319 Speaker 1: I think the previous NSCC management said, and this was 510 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,319 maybe like five or six. You bet they're never going 511 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,839 to go back to Anaheim. There's that, But that was 512 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,240 the previous man. All Right, I've been waiting for to 513 00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:26,480 show this one million cubs. Nobody goes to the National 514 00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:30,640 anymore because it's too packed. Well yeah, I was a 515 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,720 little too packed with card bros and Pokemon, just like 516 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,880 every other card show. Even Keating knows Steve Jeltz is 517 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,359 the true goat. National talk must be at a topic. 518 00:30:44,599 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're like forty days now, we have to start 519 00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:48,039 talking about it. 520 00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:48,799 Speaker 1: Yeah. 521 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: Well, but the other thing I wanted to talk about 522 00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:55,359 the National, and I wanted to bring this up, and 523 00:30:55,559 --> 00:30:58,960 I brought this up in our chat is this is 524 00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:01,160 the one thing I have problem is une at the 525 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,480 badge it and I think Lauren you have and you 526 00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:06,000 had a really differed in our group chat about it's 527 00:31:06,079 --> 00:31:09,480 a real tough issue for any show promote. There was 528 00:31:09,839 --> 00:31:12,759 I saw a none on Instagram the Emerald City Ship 529 00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:14,880 which is in the Seattle area where it was a 530 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,480 long walk and vendors basically got robbed. Now the two 531 00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:22,279 most juris times and cards. The National load in is 532 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,880 not bad because you can actually drive your booth at 533 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,200 the National, so you save the step of bringing stuff. 534 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,279 You save the stuff of having to load the stuff 535 00:31:32,319 --> 00:31:35,160 from your car, you know, go outside, bring it in. 536 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,000 You're saving that stuff that put a lot of load out. 537 00:31:38,319 --> 00:31:41,000 Most people are loading their stuff. They're not waiting till 538 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:43,400 five o'clock where we can start driving their car too. 539 00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:46,920 But you need to have people to get from point 540 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,960 A to B, and to me, there's a couple of minutes. 541 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,759 But I think every National should have be badge because 542 00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:55,680 you get table for every booth and not everybody's going 543 00:31:55,759 --> 00:31:58,319 to use it either. Sometimes it's pretty safe and sometimes 544 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,119 you're not carrying supersif stuff. But I'd rather be safe 545 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,160 and have an extra body, one person at the booth, 546 00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:07,440 one per moving to the and actually another part of 547 00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:09,680 the car, an eye on things so you don't get 548 00:32:09,799 --> 00:32:12,559 robbed your car or anything. And I think that what 549 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,119 the National has also heard is there's also people complaining 550 00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:19,480 Tuesday with badge. Understood that point of it. Why you're 551 00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:21,680 giving so many people back, But if you look at 552 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,240 it as a safe and not as immercial, it makes 553 00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:27,440 the sense to get the badge. And if some of 554 00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:29,759 them are walking around buying cards from give a show 555 00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:32,640 and it makes it helps pay the deal. It helps 556 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,960 the minimum cost for any vendor at the National, unless 557 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,079 you happen to live Chicago area and thus save the 558 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,640 hotel cost three thousand dollars. It may even be up 559 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,000 to that's a lot of money to spend before. And 560 00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:46,920 if I was a vendor and somebody told me, well, 561 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,319 we're reducing the number of people walking around the show, 562 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,680 not the people with what I currently have are going 563 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,079 to buy any before a show opens anywhere, and I'd say, hey, 564 00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:57,759 the more people who are walking around, that bring them in. 565 00:32:58,039 --> 00:33:02,319 Speaker 1: Did you guys see somebody posted this to social media. 566 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,799 But maybe a month ago, they were doing load in 567 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,839 at a card show at a big convention center, and 568 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,640 the teamsters set up basically a told book because they 569 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,200 have a contract basically, if you were not carrying your 570 00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:21,039 stuff in your own arm and required the use of 571 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,519 a cart, then the teamsters, as part of the contract, 572 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,920 had to do it for you, and you had to 573 00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:32,359 pay pay off one of their union goombas to do 574 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,480 it for you. And they were setting yeah, they were 575 00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:39,480 setting up literally a toll booth in front of the 576 00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:45,640 loading dock to extract money from some dealers. Yeah, this 577 00:33:45,839 --> 00:33:50,559 is another reason why the NSCC keeps going to the 578 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,519 same places. You don't have to deal with some teamster 579 00:33:55,079 --> 00:33:58,599 goomba hitting me up for money. Let's go back to 580 00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,319 the chat here. 581 00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:03,839 Speaker 2: Interrupt because oh yeah, because because I'm laughing, because way 582 00:34:04,039 --> 00:34:07,480 Bangaloria Ross White's card show, there were these two men 583 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,800 and it was wonderful and it was it was basically 584 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,119 a toll sheet say well, you can kind of bring 585 00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:14,880 in your stuff, but if you pay these two guys 586 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,079 ten bucksy, they'll bring your stuff in. They were so efficient. 587 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,079 I was thrilled every show to have forty dollars in 588 00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:24,639 a bayan's twenty dollars eight dollars out one trip each way, 589 00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:27,000 thank you, and then then I put the stuff in. 590 00:34:27,039 --> 00:34:29,320 It was really a very efficient. Then that was my 591 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,960 twenty dollars. I figured a forty dollars just added to 592 00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:34,679 what my tato wasn't a bit, but that was what 593 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:35,519 they were the same. 594 00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:38,559 Speaker 1: Well, these guys were charging ten bucks. It was like 595 00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:39,639 one hundred and fifty. 596 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,679 Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying in those days, it was twenty 597 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,559 bucks to hand these two guys and you knew that 598 00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:48,079 they were too, Yeah, and you know what you were 599 00:34:48,119 --> 00:34:50,639 paying them off for, and it was like, yeah, I'll 600 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,360 and because they were really very good too. I mean, 601 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,880 they were so efficient, I'd rather they deal with There 602 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,079 was a steep. 603 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,039 Speaker 1: A few more comments. Sunday is the best day a 604 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,960 free and clear Yeah, Sunday at the National is the 605 00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:07,559 best day to go. But other days on the weekend. 606 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,519 Speaker 3: If you don't want to bump elbows with people, but 607 00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:13,519 if you're trying to get your grail is not. 608 00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:15,639 Speaker 1: It might not be there though. 609 00:35:16,119 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 4: Right. 610 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: I love it because it's a convenient ride from airport 611 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,000 and the hotel is connected. Good food in the good 612 00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:30,159 food in the area. I don't know about that. I mean, yeah, 613 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,159 there's Gibson's, but you can't really eat Gibson's five days 614 00:35:34,199 --> 00:35:38,039 away you and the food in the convention center is overpriced. 615 00:35:39,639 --> 00:35:44,519 Keating is the Pennsylvania goat. That's questionable. The National is 616 00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:48,000 a scam. They do not travel National. Keep the National 617 00:35:48,039 --> 00:35:52,599 in Rosemont in perpetuity. Well, yeah, one million Cubs guy 618 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,920 would say the National in Chicago. I think it should 619 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,199 be in Rehoboth Beach Dell, but that's not going to happen. 620 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:11,840 So hydration blanks are for BBV. Deodorant is optional. Yeah. 621 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:17,239 National smells like a colon Us can be post off room. Ye. 622 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,360 Rich is wrong about the National. Chicago every year is whack. Yeah, 623 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,360 thinking of going to Detroit. And I'm looking forward to 624 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,159 Detroit because it's right on the river front. It's where 625 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,039 they have the big Detroit Car Show, big enough to 626 00:36:36,159 --> 00:36:41,320 hold the National, and there's plenty of hotels downtown. Yeah, 627 00:36:41,639 --> 00:36:45,440 I'm kind of excited for for twenty twenty eight. I 628 00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:47,719 know Lauren would agree. They should have the National in 629 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,639 Orlando one year. There's again there's the issue of ken 630 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:57,760 the NFCC ford it Rosemont is great due to its location, 631 00:36:58,039 --> 00:37:00,719 but we need it in the East Coast. Again, AC 632 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,679 gets a bed rep. It's not Kensington, Philadelphia Ish that 633 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,719 make it out to Oh there are some sections of 634 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,039 Atlantic City that k and a a run of it 635 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,559 for its money. Florida would be great for the National. 636 00:37:14,039 --> 00:37:17,800 I see a lot of people want Florida. Dallas card 637 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,960 show difficult to get to from DFW, as AC is 638 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,280 from Philly. There's a train that goes to the convention 639 00:37:26,559 --> 00:37:30,880 Center from Center City from thirtieth Street in Philadelphia and 640 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,760 it drops you off right at the Convention Center in 641 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,920 Atlantic City. What happened to the National? It's stuck in 642 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,079 the Midwest and the East Coast now because that's where 643 00:37:40,159 --> 00:37:43,280 all the collectors are, and that's where all the dealers are, 644 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,559 and that's where money in this Hoby. Don't worry, Fanatics 645 00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:49,519 will be the only card show around. Let's hope not. 646 00:37:50,119 --> 00:37:54,599 Many cities are limited by motel space near a convention center. Yes, 647 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,280 and that's another reason why it's never going to be 648 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,800 at the Javit Center in Manhattan, because nobody wants to 649 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,280 pay five hundred dollars a night for a midtown hotel room. 650 00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:07,880 I spend a lot of time in convention centers. Not 651 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,800 as simple. You're right swing by by mobile armory on 652 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,440 your way to the convention center. We have thirty percent 653 00:38:14,519 --> 00:38:18,920 off bulletproofs. I went to a card show once where 654 00:38:19,679 --> 00:38:23,039 they had cards on the bottom floor and then a 655 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,000 gun show at the top. Made for an interesting mix. 656 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,760 PSA should be the influence for a West Coast show. 657 00:38:32,039 --> 00:38:36,199 Only four cities makes sense. Chicago, Vegas, Orlando, and Atlanta. 658 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,159 They include four of the five largest convention centers in America. 659 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,719 They're never going to go to them because the dealers 660 00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:47,239 would want people to spend the money at their tables 661 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,480 and not at the blackjack table. 662 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,599 Speaker 3: I can't remember what it was full remember that, Yeah, 663 00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:59,000 I blanked on it completely. We want the second year 664 00:38:59,159 --> 00:39:02,199 and it was I mean, it wasn't a card show exclusively, 665 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,360 but there was a card show element to it, and 666 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,960 it was fun. It was it was cool. We enjoyed it. 667 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,320 It'd be nice if they could explore it. But yeah, 668 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,280 Vegas is kind of a situation there, Ye. 669 00:39:13,679 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 2: Lauren, if every collective is its a card show element, 670 00:39:16,559 --> 00:39:19,239 because you could be a card dealer next to some 671 00:39:19,599 --> 00:39:22,840 we'll call it a person with an idea you know, 672 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,719 way to you know, do cards in the hobby something interesting. 673 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,199 So it was really interesting. It was an inter mix, 674 00:39:29,519 --> 00:39:32,000 it was it was it was kind of cool. They're 675 00:39:32,039 --> 00:39:36,039 all variable were out. Yeah. The very first Mint collect 676 00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:40,320 was absolutely allayed because there was a wedding with one 677 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,480 of the people running the Mint Collective. Like half the 678 00:39:42,519 --> 00:39:44,760 people at that wedding got collect oh, and it was 679 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,719 quite an interest until they had to push it back 680 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,719 until everybody got well right. 681 00:39:49,039 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, the second year was fun. They had like, uh, 682 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,119 they did have the card show element, and like Rich said, 683 00:39:56,159 --> 00:39:58,599 you know, there were people with you know, different ideas 684 00:39:58,679 --> 00:40:02,000 and promoting ideas and stuff, and they had like panels 685 00:40:02,119 --> 00:40:03,920 like they had you know, it was almost kind of 686 00:40:04,039 --> 00:40:07,440 like like an industry I mean, I guess that's kind 687 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,760 of point in the name, but it was like an 688 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,360 industry convention where you could go into the card show 689 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,119 and you could look at cards and you could you know, 690 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,400 like a normal experience, but then you could also go 691 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,159 to a panel with and listen to people that you know, 692 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,880 you on a topic you care about or you know, 693 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,079 like I think at the time, you know, like NFTs 694 00:40:25,079 --> 00:40:26,880 were kind of thing and people are talking about like 695 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,599 digital collectibles that hasn't aged well, but like it was 696 00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:32,920 interesting to hear at the time, you know, at least 697 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,199 like you know what they were talking about.

We moderated 715 00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:30,760 Jeremy Lee, and there's good people on the panel and 716 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,880 they're gonna and there's just it's just a way for 717 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,320 the Nash to have something to be different, which I 718 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,960 think is kind of and you know, and I think 719 00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:41,519 that's nice to have that, And I think that's that's 720 00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:46,000 a great concept where maybe even a little shark element 721 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,119 into card show is a really nice idea. And I 722 00:41:49,159 --> 00:41:51,679 think it's very cool. And John, there's another plug, so 723 00:41:52,119 --> 00:41:53,280 you can add that to the plug. 724 00:41:54,639 --> 00:41:55,280 Speaker 1: I'm pretty good. 725 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 2: I'm pretty good at product. 726 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,519 Speaker 1: Chris Harris get a media pass and I don't need 727 00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:07,800 one because I'm a veteran vets Let's see happens at 728 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:12,079 every trade show, every rock concert, every keating bachelor party. 729 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,320 So I'm guessing there have been what what's the over 730 00:42:15,519 --> 00:42:18,920 under a number of heating bachelor parties there have ever been. 731 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,519 I'm setting that at four and a half. National does 732 00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:27,800 not have to go to Anaheim or even California. Uh, 733 00:42:28,559 --> 00:42:32,320 I think we should. Chris Harris poo poo foods in Chicago. 734 00:42:32,559 --> 00:42:35,400 I love it. I'm poo pooing the food in and 735 00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:39,400 around the convention all right. The food at the Convention 736 00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:44,199 Center sucks and is overpriced, Okay, and I don't eat there. 737 00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:46,880 What I do for lunch is that I get in 738 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,400 my car and I drive. There's like a nice shrip 739 00:42:50,519 --> 00:42:54,320 mall across the street from the All State Arena. It 740 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,519 has a pot Belly sandwich shop is a chain, but 741 00:42:57,599 --> 00:43:01,360 it's indigenous Chicago. There's a decent pizza place next to it, 742 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:06,159 and then around the bend next to my hotel there's 743 00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:13,519 a Buono Beef which sells authentic Chicago Italian beef sandwich. See. 744 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,920 I've been to so many nationals in Chicago. I already 745 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,840 all know all my favorite lunch. So let's see what else. 746 00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:25,239 No crop, yeah, no, no crop dust. Detroit is rebounded 747 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,199 unlike any other city I've seen, but the Auto show 748 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,639 is dead. Well, if the Auto Show is dead, bring 749 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,960 the national in. I guess folks who complain about getting 750 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,360 the ac from Philly are the same who pay for 751 00:43:37,519 --> 00:43:42,119 people to open packs for them. People stay at motels, Yeah, 752 00:43:42,679 --> 00:43:46,079 a little cheaper more money for cards. 753 00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 2: Just saying hotel, motel, holiday inn. 754 00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:55,159 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty much Industry Summit was in Vegas. 755 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,400 It kind of petered out due to lack of interest. 756 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,000 Yeahs too with the three Summit. 757 00:44:01,079 --> 00:44:04,119 Speaker 2: I really wish some would have an industry Summit again. 758 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,840 But everybody you know, upper deck does their own and 759 00:44:07,039 --> 00:44:09,719 Tops does their own thing. You know, it'd be nice 760 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,320 to have, like the concept of three Summit. 761 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: Kids, the Kid the Hawaii Show. When was the last 762 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,519 I guess Isaacson still owns the ip to that. And 763 00:44:19,559 --> 00:44:23,079 it's been a while for New Balance and Sketchers should 764 00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:27,360 co sponsor the National too much? Poke your mom all 765 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:32,719 trying to catch them in. Yes, uh, let's see Chris 766 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,679 Harris needs to enter the shark tank thing at the National. 767 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,199 I don't have anything to sell. I mean I could 768 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,280 sell base sell them baseball card pedia, but we don't 769 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:47,039 need venture capital ruining another good thing you'll have to 770 00:44:47,119 --> 00:44:50,159 wait to get in. Yeah, that's the one thing that 771 00:44:50,559 --> 00:44:53,519 you know. Beggars can't beat shoes, right, And I did 772 00:44:53,639 --> 00:44:58,280 bring this up to National management. Why don't you give 773 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,639 veterans just a free five a pass? And I don't know. 774 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,360 Pot Belly pig and pizza. Mister beef is great for 775 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,400 a heart attack. The guy pooh poohing Chicago is eating 776 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,239 at Potbelly. It's good. 777 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 2: Hey. When I used to go to Chicago and I 778 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,039 stayed ahead off the Marriot and I used to stay 779 00:45:16,159 --> 00:45:19,039 within walking in the show, and there was across the Street, 780 00:45:19,079 --> 00:45:22,039 and I'd go for breakfast at the Nation was perfectly fine. 781 00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:24,920 I'd have my oatmeal and I'd have my yogurt carfe 782 00:45:25,039 --> 00:45:27,360 and sadly their yo barfetes off the menu, and then 783 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,920 it was perfect, so I'd have Muffy and McDonald's coffees. 784 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: Actually, all right, we managed to kill off more than 785 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:39,920 an hour. I had a good job. Can't believe we did. Notice, 786 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,400 So I'm gonna pat myself on the back for that.
