Believe it or not, the NBA season is winding down, but there is a trio of hope for collectors as the postseason is ushered in.
With roughly 20 games left in the 2021-2022 campaign, collectors are beginning to turn their attention to just who may make waves in the postseason, which teams may make a run in the playoffs, and which players will emerge from the shadows of obscurity and step into the bright lights of the hobby world.
This week's YouTube was action-packed! Mike tests his luck ripping packs of Elite and sees if he can make his money back. Jesse opens some brand new Panini Prizm football packs and gives an exciting first look at what the Prizm football cards will look like. Ryan takes us through a card show in Michigan. Suze from Goldin joins the show and speaks about what is coming up at Goldin as well as how to list your own products. Make sure to like, subscribe, and comment to be entered in giveaways!
Baseball Preview: NL

Welcome to By the Numbers, where numbers, trends, and stats about the hobby are examined in a hopefully entertaining fashion. After last week’s AL preview, it’s only fair that it’s the National League’s turn to get the By the Numbers Spring Training preview treatment. For each team, one player to watch and one number that makes them interesting are highlighted. These aren’t necessarily the biggest or best names on each team, but rather the guys who are likely to see large jumps or drops in card prices in the 2022 season.
