Ryan is out this week, so Brett steps into the co-host seat alongside Adam Gellman for a wide-ranging conversation on the current state of wrestling cards. Based on the episode transcript.

The guys break down WWE's King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, Oba Femi's momentum, the global appeal of WWE, and why international fandom has not fully translated to wrestling card collecting yet.

On the card side, they discuss Cosmic Chrome, the early reaction to the Planet chase cards, AJ Lee's return to autograph products, and what the market is telling us about new releases.

They also tackle bigger hobby questions:

Are wrestling cards truly growing, or are the same cards changing hands?
Does locking big cards into collections make the market stronger or more unpredictable?
Why do so many collectors relist 1/1s at 2-3x the price?
Are great cards always liquid cards?
What opportunities are being missed while everyone chases the newest release?

Plus thoughts on the Jey Uso WrestleMania Patch Auto auction, major recent sales, Wrestling Card Takeover at The National, and why relationships remain the most valuable asset in the hobby.

RSVP for Wrestling Card Takeover at The National on July 31
