New releases are everywhere right now.

You feel it.
The noise.
The urgency.
The pressure to act.

In this episode, Brett and Tory break down what is really happening in the hobby. They start with eBay’s new buyer cancellation policy and what it means for sellers, buyers, and auction integrity. Tory shares what it looks like operating at scale and why this change matters more than people think.

Then they shift into the main topic. The new release attention economy.

Topps Chrome Football just dropped.
$1,000 boxes.
Breaks everywhere.
Singles flying.

But step back for a second.

Who is actually making money?
What happens after the first 72 hours?
And how should you respond as a collector?

This conversation is about discipline.
It’s about awareness.
It’s about protecting your time, your money, and your collection.

If you’ve ever felt the pull of a new release, this one is for you.
