Can the baseball card market survive a prolonged MLB lockout? Bubba & Cody are back to talk about that and much more on the latest episode of Wax Packs & Warning Tracks! The guys catch up on some notable MLB stories since they last recorded including the thrilling NL Wild Card race and the Giants rookie having a quietly historic season. Then the guys check in on the awards races including an NL Rookie of the Year race where the top candidate isn't getting the same hobby love as his peers. And the guys discuss the incredible 2nd half for MVP frontrunner Pete Crow-Armstrong, his soon to be historic MLB Debut Patch card and why Bubba still isn't convinced collectors should pay a premium for his cards. And with a potential lockout looming, the guys break down how a MLB strike could affect the baseball card market. Will we see vet prices dip? Could top prospect card prices skyrocket with only Minor League Baseball going on stateside? And will we see the market as a whole come crashing down if there's no baseball come April?
