What's going on, everybody? Welcome back. Stacking Slabs, your hobby content alternative. I'm Brett, builder, collector here on the Stacking Slabs network. We're doing something a little bit different today.

Got availability. Got some space. WNBA card pod will be back, but had an opportunity here to share some perspective. I've got some space on the schedule as we're wrapping up 2026 and beginning to think about what we want to build in 2027. And one of those things that I've been really enjoying about building this network is the ability to do different things.

Take an idea that interests me as a collector and create something around it and see where it goes. And I've learned throughout my career that that's how you learn through experimentation. That's how some of the shows that you're listening to on this network came to be. And today, I want to experiment with an idea that's been on my mind for a while. I'm thinking about building an entire show around one of one sports cards.

Now before we get into it, I don't have the entire format figured out. I don't have some announcement to make it a weekly show or a bunch of different segments that we're gonna be doing. I'm thinking through this in real time, but I do think there's an opportunity here, and I think there's an audience for it. Because if you're paying attention to what collectors are doing, what they're building, the conversations they're having, one of ones are becoming a bigger part of those conversations. They're becoming a bigger part of my collection.

We just did an entire episode last week with Josh and Chris where we dug into that. One of ones are becoming a bigger part of the collections of the people that I respect, And I found myself spending more time researching that category. Yes. I believe one of ones are their own category, not only looking at cards that are selling, but understanding the history of the products, the parallels, the athletes, and the decisions that are being made by collectors. Here's what's interesting to me.

We have no shortage of people talking about the latest prod... Products. We've got breakers opening up cases. We have people reacting to massive hits. We have auction companies sharing record sales.

We have auction coverage. We have content about the cards that everyone already knows about, and there's a place for that. But I think there might be something missing. We're seeing one of one sell. We're seeing collectors pursue them, and we're seeing some of these cards generate more attention.

But I don't think we've done a very good job of connecting the dots. What makes one one of one more important than the other? How do we think about the hierarchy of different parallels? What are the products that collectors are overlooking? What happens to the importance of certain cards as these athletes and the products become part of sports card history?

Because every one of one has its own story. Some of those stories are about the athlete. Some are about the product. Some are about the person who owns it, and some are about the period in sports card history where the card was created. And history, I think, is important.

I know a lot of us don't wanna think about school and don't wanna think about work when we're thinking about our hobby, but history is important. I enjoyed history class going... Growing up. I enjoyed learning about why things were the way they are now. And I think some documentation around that for a category like one of ones is important.

I think there's a need for content that gets into those things, and I wanna learn while we're doing it. I'm not interested in creating a show where we pull up 10 big... The biggest one of one sales from the week and talk about how much money is spent. I think that gets boring. I'm interested in understanding why these cards matter and whether there's something we can learn from the sales that makes us better as collectors.

So that's the experiment today, everybody. We're gonna look at a couple sales, one from a player whose legacy I think is worth spending some time understanding and another from one of the most collectible athletes who has ever lived. We're going to talk about the products, the prices, and some of the things happening to the one of one market, and then we're going to close with why I think collectors are becoming more interested in this category. One thing I want to make very clear before we begin. I don't think a card needs to be...

Or need... I don't think a card needs to be a one of one to be important. There are countless incredible sports cards that aren't one of ones. We all know that. There are collectors who have built collections around cards numbered to a 100, cards that aren't numbered at all, and cards that were produced decades before the concept of manufactured one of ones or scarcity even existed.

This isn't about telling anybody how they should collect. It's about studying a category that's getting more of my attention, and I'm interested in seeing where it takes us. So I want to start maybe in an unconventional place, in an unconventional territory because I think it's a good example of why we should be thinking or digging into one of ones ones more than at the surface letter... Level. And it's a sale that caught my attention from this past weekend.

The card was sold through DC Sports eighty seven on eBay, and it's the twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two Donneris optic Draymond green gold vinyl, one of one, graded in a PSA nine. That card was numbered 29 in the set, and it sold for $818.88. And the reason I wanna start with this card is that I think it's the perfect example of what a show like this should be covering. It's not some massive one of one Luka Doncic grail from the era or Steph Curry. It's not some new debut patch that everyone's chasing.

It's a fifth year It's the fifth year of Domino's optic. It's a veteran year Draymond Green card from a Panini product that has been around for over a decade, and I think there's a lot to unpack in this example when you look at a card like this. And we can start with Draymond Green. And I think Draymond is one of the more interesting players to evaluate from a long term collecting perspective. And part of that reason for that is that his importance to basketball is greater than what somebody might think if they were just looking through scoring averages.

Draymond was drafted by the warriors in 2012, second round, thirty fifth overall, four time NBA champion, former defensive player of the year, four time all star, two time all NBA selection, and he's made nine all defensive teams. That's a pretty serious basketball resume. And if you look at the statistics, he's averaged around 9.7 rebounds and six assists per game over his career through last season. And those are good numbers, but those numbers don't explain why Draymond was so important to one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history. You can't understand the warriors of the twenty tens and the twenty twenties without understanding Draymond Green.

It's undeniable Steph Curry changed basketball with his shooting, the greatest shooter of all time. We get the opportunity as basketball fans to watch a living legend play basketball right now, and that is something I'll continue... I continue to remind myself every time he's on TV. You got Klay Thompson, one of the great shooters and two way guards. Kevin Durant, one of the greatest players of all time, one of the greatest scores of all time, came in and helped elevate those championship teams.

But Draymond's contributions were different. He was the defensive organizer. He was the guy communicating, switching, making decisions, helping initiate the offense, doing the dirty work like setting screens, finding Curry and making sure he's open, allowing Golden State to play a certain style of basketball because of the things he was capable of doing on both ends of the floor. And I think there's something worth examining there. When we think about collecting athletes, we often gravitate towards the players who produce statistics that are easiest to understand.

Points, touchdowns, home runs, passing yards. But some athletes have an importance to the history of their sport that goes far beyond those numbers, and that brings us to a question. How should we think about collecting a player whose impact was so much greater than the conventional statistics? I think Draymond fits that description perfectly, and I think there are other athletes across sports who do it as well. Now we also have to talk about the other side of Draymond.

Because if we're going to evaluate his place in basketball history, we can't pretend controversy controversy doesn't exist. This is a player who's been been involved in some of the highest profile incidents. Suspension during the twenty sixteen NBA finals, altercation with Jordan Poole, incident with Rudy Gobert, indefinite suspension following the Nurkic incident in 2023. These are things that we all remember. They became part of the public conversation around Draymond, and they influenced how fans viewed him.

There are people who love Draymond. There are people who cannot stand him. And I think that divide is interesting when we're talking about collecting because the value of a sports card isn't determined by accomplishments alone. There's an emotional component to it. People collect athletes they connect with.

They collect athletes who represents moments in their lives. They collect athletes who play for teams they grew up loving, and sometimes they want nothing to do with an athlete because of the way they feel about the person. Draymond is somebody who generates strong reactions. But I want to separate those strong reactions from his basketball significance because whether you like him or not, I think it's very difficult to tell the story of the Warriors dynasty without him. And I wonder I wonder how that significance will be viewed ten, fifteen years from now when the individual incidences aren't dominating the weekly conversation, when the dynasty is being examined as part of basketball history, when collectors who grew up watching Steph and the warriors are older and have more resources to spend on athletes, they remember.

What role does Draymond occupy in those collections? I'm not here to say every Draymond card is going to be valuable. That's not the point. I'm asking whether there's an opportunity to collect a historically important player whose cards don't receive the same level of attention as the players who generated the biggest offensive numbers. That's what makes him interesting to me.

Now let's get into the particular card because I think the product is every bit as important as the athlete, especially when we're talking about one of ones. We're talking about Donruss Optic. And when I think about the Panini era basketball, Optic is one of the products that I think deserves a lot of attention. Optic Basketball debuted with the 2016, 2017 season, and that matters. For anyone unfamiliar with optic, it took the Donnerus cop, concept and gave collectors a chromium style version of the product.

In some respects, it's similar to the relationship between Topps flagship and Topps chrome. You have the history with Donruss, you have the rated rookie identity, and you have the chromium technology and parallel structure that collectors became familiar with during the modern era. Optic created its own place in the hobby, and it wasn't trying to be national treasures or flawless. I don't even think it was trying to be Prism. It was a different collecting experience.

Now if we're talking about the most recognizable basketball products from the Panini era, I think Prism is at the center of the conversation. Prism has built an enormous recognition brand identity. Select has its own collector following. And then there's Optic. And I view Optic as one of the central chromium brands of the era, but I don't think every collector has fully worked through the important cards from these products and how they'll look over a long period of time, especially when you begin comparing different one of one parallels.

So we have to talk about the gold vinyl. When you look at the gold vinyl, you think of Superfractor, but gold vinyl is one of one parallel that was part of the optic basketball from the first season, and I like that. I like the continuity. It has the identifiable design. It gives collectors something to pursue across athletes and seasons.

Now that's an important distinction here. The gold vinyl is not the only one of one in optic. For this twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two release, the main base set checklist has a a black one of one and a gold vinyl one of one. There's also a Choice Nebula one of one and a Fast Break one of one. These are different cards, different formats, different designs.

So when somebody says they own a Draymond Green optic one of one from 2122, we need to understand which one they're talking about because one of one tells us the production quantity of that particular version. It doesn't automatically tell us which version collectors And I think that's an important distinction for anybody who's getting more serious about the category. One of one is a starting point for research, not the end of it. You have to study the parallel. When did it begin?

Was it available in the main hobby release? Is it a retail exclusive or a choice exclusive version? How does it compare with other versions? How has the design changed over the years? What do collectors gravitate towards?

Those are the questions that matter when we're evaluating. And I think as we get further removed from the Panini era of basketball, those distinctions are gonna become more interesting and more fun to have chats with regarding the construct and demand of these types of parallels because the era now has defined ending in its NBA licensed product. Topps returned, obviously, to own the license of NBA trading cards for the 2526 season, and that changes how we study Panini's catalog. Remember, history matters. We have a historic catalog of all the Panini basketball cards licensed that have ever existed.

We can go look back at those years in complete period and look at all the card production. We can examine the different parallels when they started, which product lasted, which designs change, which ones collectors continue to pursue, and what some of these cards represent in the history of basketball collecting. And that doesn't mean every Panini one of one is suddenly valuable. It means we have an opportunity to study an era with more perspective. Now let's get back to the Draymond card.

One detail I love about the particular card is the season, 2122. What happened in '22? The warriors won another championship. They're fourth in eight seasons, and Draymond was a part of the team. During the regular season, he averaged 7.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, seven assists.

He made the all star team, and the warriors went on to beat the Celtics in the NBA finals. So that particular optic gold vinyl is connected to the championship season. It's not a rookie card. It's not from a defensive player of the year season, but it represents a specific chapter of his career, and that matters to me as a collector. When I look at one of ones, I like understanding where the card sits in the athlete's history.

There are first year cards, championship year cards. There are cards for seasons where the athlete achieves something significant, and there are cards from the final years of a player's career. They're not all the same. And I think spending the time to understand the context can help us appreciate cards that we might otherwise scroll past. Now let's talk about the price.

Because the sale is interesting partly because of the difference between Dray Mond's basketball resume and the cost of owning a one of one from a recognizable chromium product. Before we try to determine whether this was a bargain, though, I think it's worth understanding the comparison. What does a Draymond green gold vinyl from Optic deserve to sell for relative to a Draymond prism black or a select black or an optic gold or a prism gold? Those aren't interchangeable cards. Prism has a different collecting history.

Gold vinyl has a different design and aesthetic, and the prism black has been built... Has built its own identity amongst collectors. Some collectors are gonna want the black first. Some will prefer the gold vinyl. Some will care more about the year, than the parallel, and some might look at the price difference and decide that the optic is more appealing card on its own.

There's no universal answer. What's interesting is learning how those preferences translate into prices. Here's another example of why I think we need to study the optic category. Twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, LeBron James, optic gold vinyl, one of one, graded in a BGS nine five, was tracked or was sold at a $122,000 in September now. That's LeBron.

It's a different year, a different level of player, different demand, and a different part of the market. I'm not using that sale as a comp for Draymond, but I'm using it to make a point. Collectors have demonstrated that the optic gold vinyl can carry significant value for the right athlete. So when we see another important player in that parallel, I want to understand the sale rather than dismiss the card because it's not a prism black. And at the other end, I don't wanna overstate what the one of one stamp means because there are a lot of one of ones.

There's lots of years. There's lots of products. There are collectors who are only interested in a small fraction of them. The buyer of the Draymond card isn't getting the only one of one Draymond in existence. They're getting a specific one from the season, from the product, and its parallel.

And I think that's what makes the transaction we're studying. You have a four time NBA champion an important contributor to a dynasty, a player with an unusual legacy, and a chromium product that has a place in Panini basketball history, and a gold vinyl one of one from another championship season. All of that is contained in one card, whether the market eventually values it more or less. I don't know. I think it's interesting thing to own, and I think that's what I wanted to talk about.

It's the type of card that deserves a closer look. Alright. Let's go from the Draymond green gold vinyl to a completely different end of the one of one spectrum because another significant sale was reported this weekend, and this one involves Kobe. Adam Gray, who many of you know is the Real '27 guy, reported a private sale of the twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen Panini flawless Kobe Bryant logo man autograph one of one. The reported sale price was for $4,200,000.

The card is graded PSA nine, auto grade of 10. And according to Adams reporting, the transaction was confirmed by the seller and buyer and also reported in CardLighter, ladder, and that is a massive number. It's being reported as the highest price ever paid for a solo Kobe card. And it's worth spending some time understanding the card itself because there are a lot of reasons why a collector would be attracted to this particular piece, and we can start with flawless. Flawless is one of Panini's premium most high end basketball products.

And within flawless, the logo and autograph has become the most recognizable trophy card. It is a statement piece. You are bringing together a few different elements. The athlete, the autograph, the logom and patch, a limited production run, and the presentation of a premium product. In this case, the patch is reported to be game used, and, of course, that's significant because we're operating in a hobby where not every memorabilia card contains material that was used in an actual game.

And I think collectors are becoming more aware of those distinctions, player worn, nonassociated with a particular game or event, game used. Those descriptions aren't the same. And when you get to the highest end of sports card collecting, the distinction can carry a lot of weight. Now the Kobe card is from the 2017, twenty eighteenth season. Kobe retired after the 2015 and 2016 season.

So this card was produced after he finished his NBA career, and I think that's an interesting detail. Because if you're evaluating the importance of a Kobe Bryant card, you're dealing with several different collecting categories. You have his rookie cards. You have his early playing career inserts and parallels, upper deck arrow cards, Panini cards, autographs, game used, memorabilia, and then you have combinations of those things that exist in a one of one form. Some collectors are going to prioritize cards produced while he was playing naturally.

Some are going to prioritize specific releases, and some are going to view a game use logoman autograph as one of the most desirable ways to collect Kobe regardless of whether it was produced before or after his retirement. And that's the beauty of this category. There are different ways to establish importance. And in this case, the combination of Kobe Bryant, a Game News Logoman, and an autograph, and a flawless one of one has created an extraordinary level of demand. Now there's another detail about the transaction that I think is worth examining.

The card was previously reported to have sold privately for 1,700,000 in August '25. That was part of a larger acquisition of Kobe Flawless logo man... Logoman cards associated with Matt Allen, also known as Shine. The card was acquired raw and subsequently graded at PSA nine and auto 10, and now we're seeing this being reported for 4,200,000 in a transaction. If you're doing the math, that's a 2,500,000 difference.

And, obviously, the market has changed a lot in those two years. But this... These is... These are important nuggets, and this is the type of things that we like to explore when we're thinking about these sales and these cards. And the new price is about two and a half times the previously reported transaction in roughly fourteen months, and that's significant.

But here's where I wanna be careful because I don't think we should interpret that as meaning all Kobe Logaman autographs have increased in value by the same percentage. This is one specific card. The earlier transaction was reported... Reportedly made by Grady. The owner circumstances were different.

The buyer's different. The negotiation is different. And now we're talking about a market with few comparable items. So the sale tells us that somebody was willing to commit 4,200,000 to own a particular card, and that's real information. But it's not a price index for every Kobe card that looks remotely similar.

What I find interesting is the collector motivation behind it because when you're spending that kind of money on a one of one, you're deciding between hundreds of identical copies. You're deciding whether you want to own this specific item. And if you do, you're dealing with whoever controls that card. There's no second copy waiting for the next auction. There's no guarantee that the card will become available again.

And I think that helps us explain how these transactions can reach extraordinary numbers. You're dealing with a very specific group of collectors who want a very specific thing, and their willingness to pay can be far different from what the broader market would suggest. Now I also think that the transaction adds to an important conversation about Kobe collecting. For years, a lot of the focus from the high end basketball market has centered around recognizable cards, rookie cards, Topps Chrome, exquisite, important nineties inserts, and those are all legitimate collecting categories. But we're seeing enormous capital committed to modern era trophy cards that combine multiple things collectors value, autos, game use memorabilia, one of one production, recognizable product, historical athletes.

Kobe's flawless logom and brings all those things together. And it raises an interesting question. When the future collector looks back on the Panini era, which of these one of ones will they consider the most important? Earliest cards, highest in memorabilia, chromium parallels, significant seasons, or will there be room for all those categories in all the different collecting communities? I think there will.

Another interesting point, Kobe was the signature athlete from the Panini era. Another note. And there's a reason why I think studying one of ones is so interesting right now. We're watching some of those preferences take shape in real time. The Kobe transaction also gives us an opportunity to talk about something that I think is going to become increasingly important, and that's private sales.

When we discuss the sports card market, a lot of our information comes from public transactions, eBay, auction houses, marketplaces. Luckily, we have places like Card Ladder to aggregate that information and make that data accessible. We can study those sales. We can look at the trends. We can understand what collectors are paying, and I think that information is incredibly valuable.

But when you're dealing with one of ones, you're dealing with a category where a meaningful amount of activity can happen outside of those public marketplaces. A collector owns a card. Another collector wants it. They have a conversation, negotiate a price. A card changes hands, and some of that information becomes public.

Sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes, the only people who know the terms of the transaction are the buyer and seller. That creates an interesting situation because the market doesn't always have access to the information it it needs to establish a reference point. Let's say somebody owns an important one of one that hasn't sold in ten years. There might be no recent public sales.

There might be no direct comp. There might not even be another card from the same product or player that has sold recently. How do you price it? We've all done this before. You look at adjacent sales, athletes, comparable athletes, history of the product.

You source the collecting community. You try to understand the number of people that might be interested, and then you have to make a decision. This is where I think one of one collecting becomes especially interesting because there's a lot more judgment involved. The price isn't always established for you, and I think that appeals to certain collectors. It appeals to me.

They want to do the work. They wanna study. They want to understand something that isn't immediately obvious from a sales page. Some people say it makes you vulnerable. I think it creates opportunities.

But private sales can create another challenge, verification. When a public auction closes, we see the result. We know what the reported winning bid was. When a private sale happens, we often rely on information supplied by the people involved. And even when those people are credible, we still need to understand what the reported price represents.

Cash, trade, other assets, financing, those details matter. In the Kobe transaction, Adam reported confirmation from the buyer and seller, and that's useful. But it's different... It's a different kind of information that's independently recorded in a public auction. And I don't say that to diminish the transaction.

I think it's an incredible sale. I say it because I... As collectors, we need to understand the information we're working with. And there's another side of this that I find fascinating. When somebody buys a card privately, the rest of the collecting community might never get the opportunity to participate.

And if the buyer intends to own the card for a long time, it might disappear from the market. That's one of the defining characteristics of owning a one of one card. That is what appeals to me as a one of one collector. The card can be removed from circulation by one person, and there's nothing anybody else can do about it. They have to find another card or find a way to convince the owner to sell it.

So while public auctions give us a view in demand, private sales remind us that there is a lot happening that we can't see, and I think a show about one of ones should pay attention to both. Alright. I wanna close this out by talking about something that has been on my mind a lot. Why are collectors becoming more interested in one of ones? If you go back and listen to the conversation I had with Chris and Josh from card letter and card letter confidential last week, we talked about it.

It's a reference point. We spent the entire episode discussing one of ones. What draw... Draws us to them? How are collecting habits have changed, research, buying process, and what we're learning about ourselves as collectors?

I thought it was one of our better conversations because there wasn't one single answer, and I think that's important. Everybody gets something different out of collecting, but there were a few themes that I want to carry over into this conversation. And the first one is ownership. Josh talked about how he had gotten tired of seeing the same cards appear for sale over and over again. Cards he owned, cards his friends owned, cards he had helped other collectors research.

You'd see the card sell, and a few months later, you'd see another copy sell, and then another and another. And I think anybody who follows the high end auctions understands what he's talking about. We see a lot of the same cards, and there's nothing wrong with that. Those cards are important. They have established markets, and collectors want them.

But when you own a one of one, something changes. If you own that card, nobody else can put another copy of the exact version of that card for sale. You control whether the card becomes available. Josh talked about how attractive that was to him, and I completely understand it because there's something satisfying about owning a card and knowing that you have the only copy. Now that doesn't mean there aren't other cards that look similar.

There might be other one of one parallels from other years, might be other products, a specific card that belongs to you. And I think that sense of ownership is meaningful to collectors. The second theme that we called out was research, and this is where I think things got especially interesting. Josh talked about how his collecting had changed as he began to explore different Panini products. He looked beyond the handful of brands that the hobby tends to gravitate towards.

And once he began doing that, he started finding cards that he hadn't previously considered different designs, parallels, products, and different price points. And that is a significant opportunity in that process because so much of the hobby's attention is concentrated around this same products, Prism, Topps Chrome, National Treasures, Flawless. And those are important products, and there's an entire catalog of one of ones outside of those categories. Some of them are incredible cards, some aren't, and part of the enjoyment is figuring out the difference. I think we're going to see more collectors spend time doing that work, especially as people begin to understand the full scope of the Panini era.

The third theme that we called out in that episode was curiosity, and this is what resonates most with me. And I've talked a lot about how the 2014 Andrew Luck Black Finite Prism changed my whole perspective. It changed what I wanted out of my collection. Not because somebody told me I should focus on one of ones, but because owning that card gave me an experience I want more of. And I continue to pursue that feeling in a lot of different ways.

Most recently, I bought... On the episode, actually, actually, I smashed Ben on the 2005 Tops Turkey Red Phillip Rivers one zero one border. It was a card I had stumbled across, started researching, and the rest is history. It became a card that caught my attention, research into a card that I added in my collection. And I think that's cool, and I think that's important.

The fourth theme is the opportunity to collect athletes who have already established their place in sports history, and this is something that Chris has been exploring. Instead of focusing exclusively on the biggest names and the most expensive card, he's been researching one of ones across sports, players with meaningful careers and accolades, players with significance, and I think that approach lines up a lot of pros... Possibilities. Think about what we discussed with Draymond. Four championships, defensive player of the year, nine all defensive selections, one of the central players in a dynasty, and there are a lot of athletes across sports who have resumes like that.

Important players, memorable players, players who have meaningful careers in their one of ones of those athletes that aren't receiving much attention. I think every one of those cards is an opportunity to I don't think every one of those cards is an opportunity to make money. In fact, I think that would be the wrong approach to the category, but I do think it's important to build a collection around athletes' products moments that matter to you as a collector without having to compete for the same small group of cards that dominate the conversation. And there's one more thing from the card ladder confidential conversation I wanna mention. We looked at some data.

Using card ladder sales history, I searched one of one sales $10,000 or more for '25, and the search brought back 2,225 sales. For 2026 through late October, there was 4,370. I also looked at sales between 5 k and $9,999. There were 3,121 in 2025 and 4,421 in late October twenty six. Now I don't wanna overstate what that means.

Those are results from a sales history search, not a complete audit of every one transaction, and Chris and Josh raised some important points. We're producing more one of ones. The overall sports card market has grown substantially, and an increase in one of one transaction doesn't automatically mean that one of ones are taking a larger share of the entire market, and that's something we need to understand carefully. But the volume itself is interesting. Thousands of one of ones transact at those price levels, and that's before we get into the cards that sell for a $100 or 500 or a thousand.

That substantial amount of activity and it's spread across a wide range of sports, athletes, and products. So I think there's a lot to study. And what I'm most interested in learning where collectors are developing their preference, recognition, desirability, collector attention. Where's it at? And I want...

And what are people finding in the broader hobby that is worth time examining more? Those are the things I wanna explore. So that's the experiment in this episode. Two sales, two very different parts of the one of one market. Same sport, but very different.

Draymond, go vinyl from championship season. Kobe flawless reported at 4,200,000. One gives us an opportunity to think about an athlete's legacy product history and choices collectors make. The other gives us an opportunity to look at the highest end of the market and how private transactions can establish extraordinary prices. I think both are worth understanding, and I think there's a lot more to talk about because my interest in one of ones continue to grow.

And I find myself spending more time researching these cards, looking at the different products, trying to understand why certain cards sell for what they do, and talking to collectors who are doing the same damn thing. There's something happening here that I wanna follow, not because everybody should collect one of ones and not because every one of one is gonna become valuable, but I think there's an opportunity to better understand the category, talk about the history, products, athletes, sales, and the people who collect them. And I don't know exactly what the show will become. That's part of why we're doing this. We're working it in real time.

We're building in public. But it's something you'd like to hear more of, let me know. I love feedback. Feedback is a gift and appreciate you listening. And if there's a one on one sale you think deserves a closer look, send it to me.

I'm always interested in looking at these sales. I wanna know what you're paying attention to. What are you collecting, and what are you learning during this process? Because that's what makes this hobby interesting to me and I think to a lot of other collectors out there. And I appreciate you supporting Stacking Slabs.

This is your hobby content alternative. We have a lot of content. We put out new content every day. Just follow the feed, and you'll get a new piece of content with a lot of passion for you, the sports card collector. Take care.

Happy collecting. We'll talk to you soon.
