EPISODE 14: Clark, Hyung, and John usually talk about buying and selling sports cards, but in this episode, they get into the art of trading in the hobby and how to do so as safe and secure as possible (whether it's via Kijiji, Instagram or any other platform). Then the guys all pick one sports card they think is undervalued and can potentially explode in the Ready For Launch segment. Plus, they play "Pick One" again pitting two athletes or cards against each other to debate which one they rather invest in. This week's Pick One pairs include: Trevor Lawrence vs. Aaron Rodgers; 1st Bowman vs. Topps Flagship; and '90s Basketball Rare Inserts vs. Modern Basketball Case Hits.

EPISODE 13: Clark, Hyung, and John discuss some underrated plays in the hobby, which is any play that more collectors should probably be thinking about to yield a good ROI in their sports card investments (ie. Investing in SGC 10 Sports Cards and Using "John's Ratios" to find deals). Plus the guys play Fast Five again, choosing whether they would buy, sell, or hold on these recently retired five athletes this week: Drew Brees; Eli Manning; Maria Sharapova; Dustin Pedroia; Vince Carter. Speaking of Pedroia, Hyung recalls what it was like to play against him in his freshman year (as well as a fun story about playing with a young Joey Votto back in 2005...in Amsterdam). And to close off the episode, John puts up a recent mega card trade in this week's "Pick One" segment. Which trade would you say won between the 2009 Mike Trout Bowman Chrome Xfractor Rookie Card and the 2019 Fernando Tatis Topps Flagship 1/1 Platinum Card?   You can follow the guys on Instagram @fivecardguys (Clark); @yntegritysportscards (Hyung); and @tradeyouatrecess (John).

EPISODE 12: Clark, Hyung, and John go right into discussing the two major pieces of hobby news starting with the incredible Fanatics licensing deal with MLB and MLBPA. They play out scenarios on how that might impact the hobby including potentially living in a Topps-less world. And if that news wasn't enough, the guys also give their take on eBay suspending PWCC, one of the biggest consigners in the hobby, after accusing them of practising shill bidding on their auctions. And they squeeze in and bring back the "On A Budget" segment where Clark, Hyung, and John, each choose a card they would invest in for $100, $500, and $1,000.

EPISODE 11: Clark and Hyung welcome guest host Will who admirably filled in for John this week and shared his experience coming back recently to the hobby again. The guys also shared several tips and strategies of how they find good sports card deals including learning the art of sniping on eBay, and connecting with fellow collectors on various platforms like Facebook Groups and in Blowout Forums. Plus they revisit the "Dead Wrong" segment where they share some of their mistakes made in the hobby that they've learned from. And they play "Pick One" again pitting two players and/or cards against each other, and then debate which one they'd rather invest in. The pairs for this week include: Ken Griffey Jr. 1989 Upper Deck (PSA 10) vs. Derek Jeter 1993 SP Foil (BGS 9); Color Blast Inserts vs. Blank Slate Inserts; Ronald Acuna 2018 Topps Update White Jersey SSP #US250 vs. Ronald Acuna 2018 Topps Chrome Sapphire #698.

EPISODE 10: Clark, Hyung and John have fun talking about so-called "error cards" – some worth thousands of dollars, some with crazy theories and stories behind them, and others just plain bizarre including an "obscene" C3PO card that you have to search on eBay to believe. The guys also suggest what card they would buy now for $100, $500, and $1,000 in a new podcast segment called, "On A Budget." And they "Pick One" again in the final segment with each choosing two athletes or cards and debating which one they would rather invest in. This week's pairs include: Miguel Cabrera 2000 Topps Chrome vs. Albert Pujols 2001 Topps Chrome / Anthony Davis 2012 Panini Prizm (PSA 10) vs. Devin Booker 2015 Panini Prizm (PSA 10) / Lewis Hamilton 2020 Topps Chrome vs. Conor McGregor 2021 Panini Prizm.

EPISODE 9: Clark, Hyung and John miss out on the Nationals this year but vow to attend next year in Atlantic City. In the meantime, they offer some DO's and DON'Ts of investing in sports cards in this episode. Plus the Fast Five segment returns with the guys choosing whether they buy, sell, or hold on the following players: Chris Paul, Zion Williamson, Eloy Jimenez, Gleyber Torres, and Kyler Murray. And they play Pick One again pitting a couple of players against each other and deciding which one they rather invest in.

EPISODE 8: John eats his words on Giannis Antetokounmpo after he leads the Milwaukee Bucks to winning the NBA Championships, while Clark and Hyung pat themselves on the back. Plus the guys get into the pros and cons of "breaking" in the hobby, and the many different formats available to participate in. John also gives his Top 5 list (with a twist) by not choosing one player and their best rookie cards, and instead choosing five different female athletes to invest in from a sports card standpoint. And lastly, the "Ready For Launch" segment returns with Clark, Hyung, and John each selecting one card they think might be slept on right now, but could "launch" in value in the near future.    You can follow the guys on Instagram @fivecardguys (Clark); @yntegritysportscards (Hyung); and @tradeyouatrecess (John).

EPISODE 7: Clark, Hyung, and John discuss the impact of Ronald Acuna's season-ending injury in the hobby and when the best time might be to buy his cards. Plus they dive deep into the future of retail in the hobby with sky rocketing prices of blaster boxes at big box stores like Walmart and Target (while encouraging collectors to support local sports cards stores as a possible solution). Hyung also gives his Top Five picks for the best Vladimir Guerrero Jr. rookie cards. And the boys play "Pick One" again debating on which of the pairs they would rather invest in, which this week includes: Luka Doncic vs. Lebron James, Juan Soto vs. Mike Trout, and Auston Matthews vs. Nathan MacKinnon.

EPISODE 6: Clark, Hyung, and John quickly weigh in on the recent news of Roc Nation (Jay-Z's company) investing $500M into Certified Collectibles Group and what that means for the hobby. Plus they get into some non-rookie cards that are worth a look as potential big-time investments. Clark also takes his turn in the Top 5 segment and lists his favorite Trae Young rookie cards. And the guys play "Pick One" with a twist this week – each of them presented their own respective pair of players for the others to debate on who they'd rather invest in. This week's choices include: Bo Bichette vs. Rafael Devers (Hyung); LaMelo Ball vs. Justin Herbert (John); and Damian Lillard vs. Jayson Tatum (Clark). Oh, there's also another story from Hyung about the time his team faced a young(er) Bichette during an exhibition game – he became a Bichette believer after one particular at-bat.

EPISODE 5: Clark, Hyung, and John, get into the sports cards and sets they feel get no "hobby love" curiously and unjustifiably, as well as some hobby products where the hate has gone too far (like Upper Deck Basketball – the posterboy of the 1990s junk wax era?) Plus, the guys share some of their past predictions and moves in the hobby that haven't worked out (yet) in a new segment called, "Dead Wrong." And they play another round of "Fast Five" this week, deciding if they would buy/sell/hold on the following players: Justin Herbert, Keston Hiura, Pete Alonso, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Paul George.  You can follow the guys on Instagram @fivecardguys (Clark); @yntegritysportscards (Hyung); and @tradeyouatrecess (John).
