Booked to Last #10: WrestleMania Shockwaves, Topps Chrome First Day Issue, and Wrestling Card Shop Owner Chad Weldon Joins the Show

Adam and Ryan open Episode 10 with a week that flipped expectations heading into WrestleMania.

Cody Rhodes walks away with the championship after a result that few fans expected. The hosts break down the booking decision and what it means for collectors who track championship momentum and long term hobby demand tied to top WWE stars.

The conversation then shifts to one of the biggest hobby announcements of the week. Topps revealed that the first ever WWE Topps Chrome First Day Issue release will be sold through a Dutch auction. Adam and Ryan talk through what this format means for collectors, how they plan to approach buying, and why demand for the product will likely be strong.

They also spend time discussing the Topps Now dual autograph featuring John Cena and Shohei Ohtani. The hosts explain why crossover cards like this matter and how a card like this could become one of the most important wrestling card sales of the year.

Later in the episode they welcome Chad Weldon of Sports Card Junction to the show.

Chad shares what he is seeing on the ground from the shop side of the hobby. The conversation covers collector demand for wrestling cards, how modern wrestling products perform at the shop level, and what products collectors are asking for most right now.
