In this episode Hank & Mick discuss all that we have learnt from the card market in 2026. Prices have exploded. Overall demand has spiked. Is it a good time now to stop and appreciate the cards you currently hold in your collection? We think so. But being a collector is an active thing - we always want to keep growing and improving our collections. How do we do this, when prices are so high and the market is so hot?
Hank has learnt how iconic cards, with strong design (like the 1993 Scoring Kings) may have large population counts, and not be super rare... but still garner insane demand from collectors. Mick has watched the Non-Sport market explode this year... and is grateful for the Star Wars collection he has managed to piece together. Hank is still yet to buy a single non-sports card. What a year so far... and its not over yet!
