Booked to Last #11: From Blaster Boxes to Building a Collection of 1/1s with Steve (@s.a.m_wwe)

Adam and Ryan sit down with Steve(@s.a.m_wwe) , one of the most focused Rhea Ripley collectors in the hobby.

The conversation starts with a simple moment. A blaster box in 2022. That moment turns into chasing rainbows, building sets, and eventually acquiring 1/1 cards.

This episode is about how that happens.

Steve shares how he built his collection from scratch. Why he chose Rhea Ripley. And how relationships helped him land cards most collectors never even see.

They also break down what’s happening right now in wrestling cards.

Prices are rising. Access is getting harder. More people are paying attention.

If you’re collecting today, you need to understand how to move.

This conversation gives you a real look at:

• How collectors evolve from ripping to targeting
• Why scarcity changes your entire approach
• What separates casual collectors from serious ones
• How relationships unlock cards you can’t find online

If you’ve ever thought about building something meaningful in the hobby, this episode will hit.
