This debate is over- Both win. Fanatics Fest wins. The National Wins. The Hobby Wins!

Too much stuff to get into - so lets give a summary of why this year's national was the best yet- and what it means for the future of the hobby.

The hobby you see now is different than it was in 2021- and it will be unrecognizable to you in 2031. And that's not a bad thing.

Excitement still lingers from Fanatics Fest and now we have the National. Add in a potential 8 figure bounty on a new card chase and I ask- can the hobby be any stronger than it is right now?

The National is days away- and I am excited to see so many hobby friends and talk cards!

One door closes and another on opens. Fanatics fest is over but the party continues as we are days away from the National!

Ian had a blast and we have some people to thank and some stories to tell. Fanatics Fest IS a card show... but it is also so much more.

Your favorite player may be great- but it may not matter for their cards.And for Soccer- with the world cup ending- are we about to see a fall off in excitement and in demand?

Jeremy Lee asked me a question on his show- after I said that Fanatics wants to make the hobby better. He asked what that meant- and for who?- SO let's discuss that- and answer the question: Is Fanatics the Bad Guy?

Let's talk about Day 1 of fanatics fest and how the King of the Cards got me good! It doesn't happen often- but this time, he got me.
