I love this show, but I couldn't even finish this episode because of Jason from Panini saying "ya know" a thousand times.....you know?
people are speculating that the rise in Lebron price is due to Gary v talking about buying LeBron cards again. I think we drastically underestimate the influence that talking heads have over the card market. I think that may actually be the biggest influence.
