Clark and John open the show discussing the potential implications of the 1961 Fleer Wilt Chamberlain rookie card previously in an SGC 10 slab crossing over to a PSA 10 slab.
Has SGC now become the equivalent of Beckett's Raw Card Review service?
The guys then move on to "Hobby Headlines" to talk about the recent cancellation of both the Fanatics Fest shows in Pittsburgh and more recently in Orlando (due to the recent hurricanes.)
Is this a case of bad timing or is there something more that can be read into these cancellations? Has Fanatics Events been a little too aggressive trying to host these bigger card show events in 2024.
Are they pressing the reset button for 2025 and rethinking how it can be hosted in a more financially sustainable way? Or are they still planning to go full steam ahead and use these shows as an extravagant marketing tool to promote future product drops?
Next, Clark plays "Over/Under" with John who tries to guess if the last sale of five recently sold cards ended over or under $10,000.
Lastly, they play their regular weekly scheduled game called "Pick 1" where they each put up two cards and then debate which one they'd rather invest in.
