Smashing BIN: Kurt Warner, BIN Decisions, and the 2002 Finest Gold with Alex (@leatherhelmetcards)
In this episode of Smashing BIN, I’m joined by Alex (@leatherhelmetcards) to talk about his BIN smash of the 2002 Finest Kurt Warner Gold Refractor /25 PSA 10.
This isn’t just a card—it was a turning point. We dig into how this card helped reshape Alex’s entire approach to collecting, the emotional tug of picking between Gold and Xfractor, and how the concept of a “capital pool” helped him make it happen.
We also talk:
- The confusing but rewarding Kurt Warner catalog
- What makes 2002 Finest such a beloved set
- Why Bret Hart is the Raptors of wrestling
- And how navigating gold parallels today feels like getting over a breakup
By the end, you’ll hear how this story came full circle in the best possible way.
