2022-02-0426 minTrading Card TherapyThe Hobby Is Real, Even If The Pokémon Case Isn'tThis has been an absolute wild day in the hobby and there is plenty to talk about! I start with the massive news of the sealed case of 1st Edition Base Set Pokémon that Logan Paul purchased for 3.5 Million Dollars turned out to be fake! Why this is so important is that the box was veriified by the Baseball Card Exchange. Knowing this information it is clear to see how this can have implications on the hobby at large since BBCE has become an industry standard in verification. What we can take away from the situation is that h...
2022-01-1426 minTrading Card TherapyWe Are All A Card FamilyOn this week's episode I give my hot take and feelings on the MASSIVE Hobby news of Fanatics purchasing the Topps Sports and Entertainment division! Overall this is exceptionally good news for the Hobby, regardless of what disipline you subscribe to. There will be benefits to the Collector, Investor, Dealer and Business Owners in the space no matter how you look at it. I was surprised that this news came so soon, as I expected this purchase to not happen for 12 or 18 months out. It addresses the concerns that Topps would overproduce as they rode out their remaining days...
2022-01-1120 minTrading Card TherapyJust A Little PatienceProud moment to share a collection that required an incredible amount of patience to acquire. It includes cards from the 1930s to the 1950s that have been stored and preserved untouched for over 70 years. The first card from the collection that we discuss is 33 G oudey Ruth #149 Red Background, that seems to have had a bite taken out of the corner. Because of this we will probably end up calling this collection the “Once Bitten” Collection.
The reason I had to be so patient with this collection was because when we first evaluated the collection, all of the...
2021-12-1716 minTrading Card TherapyYou Win Some, You Lose SomeThis week is all about my experience at The Philadelphia Sportscard & Memorabilia Show that took place this past weekend at the Valley Forge Casino Resort Convention Center in King of Prussia, PA. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows though, as detailed in my first story of the show.
The first was a collection of 1927 Exhibit cards, which included a Babe Ruth. This was a collection that I really wanted. The seller did mention that he was speaking with a different potential buyer who gave him some estimates. I did some math and I think the number in m...

No matter what your position in the hobby is, collecting with intention will make for a more purposeful journey to reach your goals. My story of intention begins with Joe Namath, and how I recently acquired my FOURTH graded Namath rookie card. My fourth Namath rookie set off a trickle down effect for the other three Namath rookies that I own. By collecting and dealing with intention, I was able to position each of my four cards exactly where I wanted them.

2021-11-2623 minTrading Card TherapyAcquiring UngradedOn today’s episode, host Leighton Sheldon discusses how to buy and access ungraded card collections. There are quite a few challenges that you should be aware of if you are in the market, especially if you are acquiring vintage. Our story begins with a collection that Just Collect just took in and the process we used to acquire it. The most important starting point is identifying what cards are in the collection and setting an early expectation of value in the open market. This leads to a more transparent process when you make your offer to purchase. Our pr...
2021-11-1928 minTrading Card TherapyAdventures In Baseball CardsThis week’s episode is all about my trip to the Greater Boston Sports Collectors Convention at the Shriners Auditorium in Wilmington, Massachusetts. Being a long car ride from my home state of NJ, I decided to make a stop at Dugout Dreams to see my friend Sean. His store was awesome and offered a significant selection for hobbyists no matter the budget.
As my sights were turned to the show itself, my best advice to any show goer would be to get there early. You never know what deals you may miss, even if the booths ar...
2021-11-1224 minTrading Card TherapyFind Your PassionToday we are taking a look at some of the potential barriers to enter the Trading Card Hobby. It is very clear that it can be intimidating when you see cards selling for hundred, thousands, and even tens of thousands of dollars or more. My best bit of advice would be to find your passion and find your lane. This will help you manage your budget and have fun with the experience. Sometimes, sticking to your passions can pay great dividends, regardless of your budget.
Start at the auction houses, as that is where you can learn...

2021-10-2923 minTrading Card TherapyFor The Love Of CollectingThis week's episode begins with an incredible piece of sports history! I discuss my experience in a REA Auction for a 1921 World Series Game 1 Ticket Stub, one of only 6 in the PSA Pop Report. Using some foresight and experience earned through some research of the ticket market, this seemed like an absolute no brainer. This stub is absolutely worthy of the museum at Yankee Stadium. To sweeten the haul, I also picked up an original photo from the 1921 World Series, which will make for an amazing companion to the stub, that offers a visual element to that moment in...

2021-10-1523 minTrading Card TherapyNo Shame In SellingWith buying cards being so easy, why is selling them so difficult? Our lead topic this week is how selling our cards can sometimes bring along feelings of shame. I dig into how a strategy of selling when you want to vs selling when you need to is almost guaranteed to yield a more positive result. If we allow the selling process to be dictated by the need to cover things like an upcoming auction bill, we may be backing ourselves into a corner.
The conversation shifts to resources in the community to promote selling product, specifically, th...

Coming off the heels of The Philly Show, there is plenty to discuss on this week's episode. While we will get around to a show report in the second half of the show, we begin with a very special card that I picked up from the show floor. I picked up a 1921 Exhibits Babe Ruth SGC Authenticated. While I was walking the floor on Saturday, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this 21 Exhibits Ruth tagged and ready for sale. It didn't take long for me to realize that this...

2021-09-2521 minTrading Card TherapyManufactured ScarcityWe have some spicy topics for you this week on Trading Card Therapy! Our main topic of the day revisits manufactured scarcity. There are a few different areas of thought on this topic that are worth digging in to. The first is how the printing machine that makes the cards has such incredible power over the market. Is it the small stamped numbers on a card that give it value? Is it the limited ownership pool of a specific card? Whatever it may be, it is worth taking a step back when considering what the best use of your...
2021-09-1718 minTrading Card TherapyThinning The HoardWelcome to Trading Card Therapy Episode 4! Host Leighton Sheldon discusses how Thinning The Hoard can not only be cost effective, but can also help you manage you collection and collecting habits. There can be many reasons to need to thin things out, but no matter how you spin it, managing your collection will bring you closer to your cards and the reasons for keeping them. Another topic that comes up is the online sentiment of the Grading Industry "Printing Money", and how that impacts the market. From the days of grading bulk through PSA for a few bucks to t...
2021-09-1025 minTrading Card TherapyCollect What You LoveLeighton explains his perspective on the topic beginning with the initial approach to understanding that market itself. If you wanted to start collecting art, you wouldn’t go after a Rembrandt for your first piece, you would look to what is available and affordable. That being said, the discussion turns to sincere vs manufactured scarcity, which proves to be an interesting perspective on approaching the market. In the end, collect what you love!
