Pack and Brett open Episode 40 with a real-time hobby mystery.

A stolen 2025 Prizm Gold Lance Briggs resurfaces across state lines. The hunt is on. Questions start stacking. How many cards disappear before they ever hit public data?

From there, the conversation shifts to what collectors are feeling right now.

The pressure.
The speed.
The constant sense of missing out.

They break down why the hobby feels like a sprint even when everyone says it’s a marathon.

The episode also covers:

• The gap between data and decision-making
• Why social media is distorting collector behavior
• When to sell and how to think about consolidation
• Big recent sales including a $31K Gronk Prizm Gold and a $90K Brady 

They close with a reminder most collectors need to hear:

You don’t need every card.
You need the right ones.
