Sports Cards Live

Joe Poirot joins the show as the Strongsville conversation continues, bringing fresh pickups and hobby momentum into the discussion. From trade night stories to major vintage acquisitions, the segment highlights the decisions collectors make when upgrading, selling, and refining their collections.

The conversation then transitions into a deeper look at the hobby’s scale and trajectory as Chris McGill and Josh Adams join. Topics include Card Ladder’s reported $600 million month, what that number actually represents, and how much of the hobby’s true transaction volume may exist beyond tracked platforms.

This episode blends collector behavior, big card energy, and thoughtful discussion around the size, sustainability, and direction of the sports card market.

In this solo episode, it’s just me and the mic.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how many lanes I’m collecting in right now… and whether there’s actually a point where it becomes too much.

Because I’m in a lot of lanes. And I’m enjoying it more than ever.

But at the same time, it’s made something surprisingly difficult…

I don’t know how to share my collection.

Do I organize it? Post randomly? Break it into themes? Even share it at all?

And it got me thinking… maybe the question isn’t how many lanes you’re in… it’s something else entirely.

Curious where you land on this.
