In the final Cards in Hand episode from The National, brought to you by eBay, I sit down with Joe (@low_pop_papi) to talk Panini era inserts.We get into why inserts from this time deserve more attention, how parallels like gold vinyls and one-of-ones add depth, and what makes Steph Curry’s catalog stand out.

Joe shares why Optic inserts might be overlooked, how Prizm Deca brought back old designs in new ways, and why insert collectors should take a second look at Panini’s work.

If you collect inserts or want to think differently about what matters in the Panini era, this conversation will give you plenty to consider.

A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Cards in Hand. The biggest and best marketplace to buy your next favorite trading card.
