Episode 13 of The Hangover gets surprisingly deep.Why do we collect in the first place? Is it the hunt? The ownership? The satisfaction of finding something that took years to track down? Is collecting connected to our childhood, our competitive instincts, our need to express ourselves, or even our desire for status?Jeremy Lee and David Chase dig into the psychology behind collecting and the different stages of the collecting journey, from research and discovery to the chase, ownership, curation and eventually moving on. We also ask a fascinating question: if you had to choose just three cards to explain who you are as a collector, which three would they be?Then we get into grading, eye appeal and the enormous premiums attached to high-grade cards. Why can a beautiful low-grade vintage card offer so much more value? Why pay an enormous premium for a PSA 10 when the difference from a lower grade may be almost impossible to see? And if a card was submitted three times as a PSA 9 before finally becoming a PSA 10, does the next buyer deserve to know?That leads us into "hobby fraud," repeated submissions, disclosure, the hobby's obsession with the number on the slab, and the growing appeal of buying the card instead of buying the grade.Plus, David shows off a couple of recent non-sports pickups, including a very cool and extremely low-pop Tupac card.The Hangover is exclusive to the Sports Card Clubhouse.👉 Subscribe to Sports Card Clubhouse on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.👉 Subscribe to Sports Cards Live for weekly long-form hobby conversations, interviews and analysis.👉 Follow Jeremy on Instagram: @jlee_sportscardslive, @jlee_cards👉 Follow David on Instagram: @davidchasecardsLet us know in the comments: **Why do YOU collect?
