Joe's First Card Show, Fanatics Marketing, Card Bounty Update | Retro Card Chat Podcast

[@scottspaulding2158]

Great show guys. Glad to hear the card show went well. I'd love to see topps make cards like Pop Century.

[@7ThumbsUp7]

Leaf does such an amazing job with their pop century set. If Topps or Panini ever dip their foot fully into that, they could really open up a whole new market for them

[@MikesRetroTradingCards]

I totally agree. I'm actually amazed they haven't done that yet. You have to think it's coming at some point!

[@joeday17821]

Leaf stumbles a little but overall does a solid job

at minute 42 is Joe sleeping with his eyes open while the baseball talk is occurring :)

[@joeday17821]

absolutely

[@chrscm1077]

Everyone misses the reason why Fanatics wanted dealers selling $5,000 cards. Fanatics only makes $ when you buy wax. They want newbies to see $5,000 cards and ask, “I can pull a $5,000 card out of $150 box of cards?” And that’s how Fanatics creates the chase and makes $. They can care less if you buy the $5,000 card.

[@MikesRetroTradingCards]

ie, they want to turn new customers into gamblers...start them off ripping wax, get them to move to buying into breaks on Fanatics Live, and eventually get them to place bets on Fanatics Sportsbook. You are 100% right about that.

[@joeday17821]

good thought!

My favorite way to start my week!!!!!

[@MikesRetroTradingCards]

Thank you good sir!

[@TheBargainBoxer]

Joe just used “Fanatics” as a verb…..love it. From now on, when someone is screwed for any reason, I am going to say, “ha ha, you just got Fanatics’ed”……….

Does EP draft Barry Sanders and Griffey every year?

[@MikesRetroTradingCards]

He would if he could find them in the draft list! They would probably outscore some of the guys he does pick! Lol

[@tylersimmons6524]

It's a true 1/1... until the first release of Fanatics basketball has 30 1/1 autos with these three guys on them across all the different products.

[@MikesRetroTradingCards]

Yeah, let's hope they don't do that with these three guys at least

[@joeday17821]

no, they will just sell $6m worth of topps now with a chance to win a different version of the card!

[@tylersimmons6524]

I can hear the people pre-emptively typing "stick to sports [cards....or non-sports cards]"

[@MikesRetroTradingCards]

We talk about what we like!

I own a PSA 2 Bowman Tom Brady rookie……looks like I brought the numbers down……

@@joeday17821 The card got wet in a storage unit. Got stuck to another card. The guy pulled it apart. Paper loss. Gave it to me for free. Cost me 50 bucks to get it graded. PSA 2……
