The sports card market keeps reaching new highs.

Sales volume continues to climb. Record prices keep falling. New collectors keep entering the hobby.

But are collectors making better decisions?

In this episode, Brett and Chris McGill discuss what the data is telling us and where they see warning signs. They compare today's market to 2021, break down the record Tim Duncan sale that has everyone talking, and explore why so many collectors wait for validation before making their biggest purchases.

They also dive into one of the most overlooked collecting skills and why it will matter even more over the next decade.

Topics include:

• Why today's market feels different than 2021

• The significance of Tim Duncan's record one of one sale

• Why social proof holds collectors back

• Building conviction before the market agrees with you

• The underrated skill that creates long term collecting advantages
