About this listen

Matt starts the morning with a Diet Mountain Dew before 8:00 AM, and it only gets weirder from there. In this episode, Joe "The Skeptic" tries to understand why two grown men spend their weekends digging through dusty bins, while Mike and Matt reveal their secrets for finding undervalued cards in a crowded card shop.

In this episode:

  • Parenting Fails: Matt explains why he doesn't let his kids trade cards with friends (and why "kindness is weakness" in the card economy).


  • The "Snipe" Strategy: Mike’s specific method for winning eBay auctions and buying "player lots" to get Kobes for under $2.


  • The Duke Disaster: That time Matt's stream got invades by Duke fans who wanted anything in a Duke uniform.


  • Dollar Bin "Moans": Matt admits he makes involuntary noises when he finds 90s nostalgia in public card shops.


  • The Investment: Joe asks for the one pack he should buy to get rich, and the answer involves either a 93-94 Skybox Premium or a 25-26 NBA Topps Chrome.
