$16,000,000 Card Sale, NBA Market Watch & MLB Pre-Season Buys

Mike Gioseffi and Adam Gray break down a chaotic week in the hobby, including the mind-blowing $16 million Pokémon card private sale. Is the high-end market completely detaching from reality, or is this just the new normal for "grail" assets? With the Nashville Card Show kicking off this weekend, Mike shares his strategy for the show. He breaks down why he is looking to buy bulk inventory for eBay Live and details the "blind offer" battle he is planning with Alex at the booth. Then, the focus shifts to baseball. The MLB season is around the corner, and the buy window on some top prospects has already slammed shut. Mike explains why he missed the boat on Roman Anthony but is pivoting to buying Travis Bazzana, Max Clark, and Ronald Acuña Jr. instead. Then, Adam Gray joins the show for an NBA Market deep dive. They discuss whether the Pistons and Cade Cunningham are finally a legit playoff threat or just a good story. The conversation heats up around Stephon Castle’s shocking $75k sale, and the guys debate if this is sustainable. Later, they react to Gary Vee’s prediction that Panini inserts like Color Blasts and Kabooms will become the "90s PMGs" once Fanatics takes over. They also tackle the Cooper Flagg’s "First Card" 1/1 from Topps and rank the Top 3 players who will own the next decade of the NBA.
