When Values Force a Sale + Keeping a Token Card + Game 7 Heartbreak
Description
A wild Game 7 unfolds live as the panel digs into the hobby’s toughest question: what do you do when your PC cards moon—sell, trade, or hold? Jeremy, Joe, John, Chris, and Josh unpack the collector’s conundrum (profit vs attachment), price anchoring to what we paid years ago, and strategies like keeping a single “time-capsule” card when you move on. We also hit the joy of binders and 90s/00s inserts (Pacific, Pinnacle, Topps Mystery Finest), giving cards to kids, and finding budget-friendly lanes that still look amazing—while the Dodgers clinch Game 7 in real time.
Highlights
Sell, trade, or hold? How rising prices pressure even die-hard collectors, and ways to decide without future regret
Keep a token: Preserving one piece of a set/player run as a memory anchor when consolidating
Beat price anchoring: Reset expectations by switching lanes (new players/eras) or trading horizontally into cards you value more
Low-pop = high regret: Why letting go of scarce cards can sting—and how to choose sell candidates you can realistically reacquire
Affordable beauty: Binders of Pacific/Pinnacle/Mystery Finest; why many inserts from that era deliver premium look at modest prices
Hobby goodwill: Handing out cards to kids, camp giveaways, and keeping the joy in collecting—beyond comps
