Looking for some honest advice from the hobby crowd.

I’ve been a lifelong Reds fan and always enjoyed watching JJ Hoover pitch. He recently opened a card shop just outside of Cincinnati, and I’m planning on making the drive up to check it out.

I’m not really the type to walk up and ask for autographs or geek out when I’m around pro athletes. I try to stay composed and treat them like anyone else I meet — I imagine it probably gets old being hounded all the time.

So what do you all think?

Do I bring a card and shoot my shot for an autograph, or just treat him like any other LCS owner and talk hobby?

Curious to hear how others would handle it.

What’s your biggest sales regret of 2025?

I’ll start… selling my 2025 Topps Home Field Advantage Shohei Ohtani way too early. Then I decided to build the HFA set, and of course the card doubled in value.

That’s the hobby for you — lessons learned the hard way. What’s yours?

Going into this year with a simple goal: grow the eBay store the right way.

Focusing on low-end to midrange cards and collectibles, with new items listed daily.

I want every transaction to be easy, smooth, and stress-free — and I treat every buyer the same way I’d treat a guest in my home: with respect, honesty, and care.

If you’re looking to build sets, collect without breaking the bank, or just enjoy the hobby, I’d love for you to check it out 👇

Appreciate everyone who supports the journey!!

Mail day for the PC always hits different…

Especially when it’s a surprise from @Harper4MVP over on Breaker Toolbox.

Forgot I was even in the break and this showed up—can’t beat that feeling.

2025 Absolute Rookie Wave Tyler Shough RC

Tyler Shough is on the rise…

Back-to-back 300+ yard games will do that. Shough has quietly gone from question mark to one of the hottest rookies in the league, climbing to 2nd in ROY odds and giving the Saints real momentum down the stretch. Poised, efficient, and playing his best ball when it matters most.

Is this just a late-season surge… or are we watching the Saints’ future QB take shape?
