Mike and Jesse are back to break down the latest movement in the sports card market as we head toward the Super Bowl.
First, Jesse shares a "cautionary tale" involving a massive rip of Marvel cards and the hunt for a Hugh Jackman auto. Then, the guys look at the disrespect in the NFL market, specifically comparing Sam Darnold's prices to Josh Allen's. Despite a stellar season and being the NFC Champ, Darnold's cards are a fraction of the price of many other quarterbacks. Are collectors missing the window? They also discuss the "dirt cheap" pricing on Cooper Kupp and the heating-up market for Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Later, they discuss the massive PSA Spotlight Auction starting this week and running through February 7 featuring cards directly from the personal collections of legends like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Eli Manning. They analyze the value of inscription cards, seeing exactly what Tom Brady wrote on his own rookie card, and debate if provenance from a player's own collection is the new grail for collectors. There are also plenty of other cards in the auction including a special Mewtwo Pokemon card. The auction's final hour will be broadcast LIVE on the SCN eBay Live channel.
