Stretching Budgets, Auction Regrets & the Rise of Card Funding
In Part 4 of Episode 271, the discussion turns to a familiar dilemma in the hobby: should you buy the card even if you’re not quite ready?
Jeremy, Joe, Chris McRae, and Chris McGill share real stories about pushing past budget limits, chasing grails, and the cards they still regret not buying. From megabidding strategies to auction sniping tactics, they explore how emotions and opportunity collide in high-stakes moments.
The conversation also touches on card funding services like Fund Your Cards — how they work, how they’re being used, and what they might mean for market values and card availability going forward.
If you've ever stretched to land a big card — or talked yourself out of one and regretted it later — this segment will feel all too familiar.
