Sports Cards Nonsense

A podcast featuring Mike Gioseffi and Jesse Gibson that’s about sports, the Sports card market, and how to make money with this hobby. Who you should be buying and selling - along with the occasional fantasy football advice.

With Mike out on the road, Jesse is joined by Alex AKA Clever Cuban Cards to talk about the latest sports card market updates. Grading changes with PSA, expansion into Europe, and Topps' release frequency are all on the docket.

PSA's pricing and turnaround times have been a hot topic of conversation over the last week, which Jesse and Alex reflect on. They also discuss the booming market for Pokémon cards, the impact of player likability on card value (Aaron Rodgers), and the challenges of maintaining affordability in the hobby.
