Cards To The MoonShow Notes
EPISODE 373 - Clark and Hyung open the show revisiting the PSA grading stoppage for the Value Tier submissions. And Hyung shares what he's going to do with all the Shohei Ohtani base and refractor cards he was initially going to submit all to PSA until the recent announcement. Then for Hobby Headlines, the guys discuss the future of the hobby store in light of the announcement from Geoff Wilson (aka Sports Card Investor) that CardsHQ will be expanding into new locations across the U.S. Does this mean the end of local mom and pop shops? What can smaller retail hobby shops do to survive? Next, they play a round of Over/Under (Superfractor edition), before they end the episode with their regular weekly segment called Pick 1. -------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!

EPISODE 402: In our series called "Breaking Ground," we talk to successful entrepreneurs, content creators, and innovators in the hobby on their story of how they built their brand and business. For our second episode in this series, Clark of @fivecardguys interviews Daniel Nguyen, Founder of Saturday Morning Cards, who many in the hobby might know better as The Great Curator. He shares his story of how they were able to make their original, officially licensed pop culture trading cards while competing against big companies like Topps and Upper Deck. If you have any suggestions on who'd you like to see interviewed for the "Breaking Ground" series, email us at [email protected] or DM us on Instagram @fivecardguys or @cardstothemoon.

EPISODE 401 - Clark hosts another solo Friday video episode to thank the listeners again for tuning in each week as the guys celebrated 400 episodes. They already did a podcast T-shirt giveaway and have a couple more for those coming to the Sport Card Expo in the Greater Toronto Area from Nov. 5 to 8. The rest of the show, Clark talks about the recent podcast episode on Pablo Torre Finds Out on LeBron James and his partnership with Fanatics. While most of the conversation on that pod was about how he has regular access to go to games from NYC where LeBron lives to Philadelphia on a private helicopter, Clark focuses on the fact that Topps first broke the news of LeBron signing for the 76ers. And how they did so by also selling the Topps Now card commemorating the moment. Will having athletes be partners and investors with companies like Fanatics be good for the hobby? Can we expect more cool fan experiences as a result? Do other card companies have a chance to compete? -------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!
