In this episode of The Collector’s Compass, we’re honored to welcome Chris “HOJ” McGill—co-founder of Card Ladder and one of the most respected voices in the sports card hobby.
Chris’s journey started like many of ours: chasing his childhood grail, the 1993-94 Ultra Scoring Kings Michael Jordan. That passion evolved into content creation with House Of Jordans and eventually into Card Ladder, a platform built on data, transparency, and a vision for long-term hobby sustainability.
In this conversation, Chris shares openly about:
-The difference between investing and speculating in sports cards—and why words matter.
-Why ethical data, transparency, and privacy are non-negotiable in today’s hobby.
-How community, thoughtful content, and responsible guardrails can build a healthier ecosystem for collectors and businesses alike.
-We’ll also explore Chris’s own collection, his philosophy on set building and personal collecting, and his perspective on where the hobby is heading.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a data-driven hobbyist, or someone navigating the noise of modern collecting, this episode is a reminder that the future of the hobby depends on more than adrenaline—it depends on ethics, balance, and intention.
