After a week off, we’re back with Episode 278 of Sports Cards Live — and it’s a big one. Fresh from the 2025 National, I share the story of tracking down and acquiring my No. 1 target: the 1941 Play Ball Joe DiMaggio. We talk negotiation, condition, and why this card means so much to me. Plus:
Picking up a stunning ’48 Leaf DiMaggio from the same vendor
Adding a perfectly centered 2nd-year Magic Johnson
Other show-floor finds from hockey legends to classic football and basketball
Behind-the-scenes stories from Wednesday & Thursday at The National, including events, parties, and memorable meetups
Shoutouts to some incredible vendors and collectors I met along the way
Whether you love the hunt, the hobby community, or just great card stories, this recap delivers all three.
