Show season is here.

Fanatics Fest. The National. Midwest Monster. Local shows packed wall to wall.

The energy around cards feels different right now.

In this conversation, Brett sits down with Kevin Randall (@DaCaptain37) to talk through the realities of operating in the current market as both a collector and dealer.

They discuss:

Why rare goat cards continue to separate from the market
The danger of treating every monster sale like a category reset
Why hesitation at shows can cost you the card
The growing divide between online and in-person deals
How Kevin prepares inventory ahead of summer show season
The emotional side of moving PC cards
Why collectors need a game plan before entering Fanatics Fest or The National
The difference between consolidating and escalating
Why “comps” are no longer enough for rare cards

This episode is filled with tactical advice for collectors heading into the busiest stretch of the hobby calendar.
