The Card Diary by Hobby S. Thompson

Hobby S Thompson

Welcome to a new limited podcast series called The Card Diary by Hobby S. Thompson, where I invite you to join me on my cardboard journey as I try different ways to enjoy the trading card hobby as a jack of all trades and a master of none, in the style of Hunter S. Thompson. Along the way, I hope we all learn and grow together!

Spotify for Podcasters has converted to Riverside, and I'm still trying to figure out how to handle this change, but the past music interludes (e..g Compton, Swapping Tubes, and Rodney Skopes) are all gone. We truly are at the mercy of these platforms and have to adjust to whatever changes they make. The actual recording about getting into a break for Eddie Murray back from April 2024 will follow this one as a separate episode as I cannot combine separate audio files with this new format. ---

Episode 76 welcomes Tom Ferrera (on IG @pancake_analytics), where we talk about data analytics and how it applies to The Hobby. We talk about glitches in the Matrix, aka eBay’s Terapeak, being on panels for The Hobby, and the reason sometimes we buy into breaks even when we know from an analytical standpoint, it may not make the most sense. We also of course talk about the biggest debate between pancakes and waffles.You can email the show with your thoughts, questions and comments

Episode 75 is the second half of my chat with Cage Lawyer, where we talk about the two different sets of value of cards - monetary and sentimental, and whether nostalgia is enough to keep the middle age collector in The Hobby. We also touch on whether being in The Hobby makes us a better parent, spouse, friend, etc. We continue to talk about the state of Hobby Content and what even is Hobby Content and of course, we have to touch on The Haters. Just a great conversation overall, and I hope you

Nick (on IG @breakcompcards) joins the podcast to talk about being the Kayak of the breaking side of The Hobby. We talk about how he does not consider himself a reporter of group break prices, as well as this Kayak analogy, data aggregation, and how he monetizes (or plans to) monetize this free service (s/o pc_sportscards).We also get into whether he himself gets into breaks and what he PC’s and finally, we do get to questions from the Instagram audience.

It’s almost Opening Day 2024! Tyger, of ta24cards on Instagram and of the 4 and 6 podcast, joins us on today’s episode! We talk about how he is able to triangulate the exact moment that is captured on a baseball card based on information that is readily available online. We also talk about hockey, because why not. However, if you love baseball, I think you are really going to enjoy today’s episode and if you are not already doing so, I hope you follow ta24cards to enjoy one of my favorite

We touch on the acquisition of SGC by Collectors, the parent company of PSA, but end up talking more about BGS and Beckett and what competitive advantages, if any, they have in the very competitive grading space in The Hobby.

Ep. 70 - Journalism and Watchdogging in The Hobby

2024/03/07

There is a real need for real journalists and real watchdogs in The Hobby. In this monologue episode, I talk about the different kinds of content creators who report news and happenings in The Hobby. Why are there so many people out there saying the same exact things over and over again on the same topics over and over again? As someone who makes content, I try to maybe help explain the thought process. Enjoy! - Denny

We talk about the logistics that went into the 100 case break they recently did of 2024 Topps Series 1 Baseball, but also why having educated buyers is important and how baseball differs from basketball and football when it comes to The Hobby (More sustainable?

Sarah (on IG @mrssquirts_cards) is the first ever independent female breaker, and she started out with no allocation, no distribution, just a love of cardboard stemming from when she was a kid collecting sports cards, Pokemon, and pogs. Hailing from Montana (which is NOT the Midwest, my bad!), she shares how she builds community, how she sees her buyers as real people, and how she puts her heart into everything she does.

I will fully admit, when I first saw Wizey Official on Instagram (@wizey_official), I did not like him and his content. He was ripping his shirt off and yelling out “The Hobby Is Alive!” But what if it had nothing to do with him at all. Was I intimidated by his confidence? His youth? Perhaps.All I initially saw was the outer layer of Wizey, but I am glad that I got to know him more and we peeled some of the layers back in this chat. We talk about what he did and currently does for Bleacher

Valor Sports Cards is a Fanatics Live breaker who recently pulled the Tom Brady Superfractor 1/1 from 2023 Bowman Draft. When it occurred, conspiracies started to form that Fanatics gave him a loaded box. Can anything be a coincidence anymore? Listen in to hear how maybe nothing everything in The Hobby has to be a conspiracy…..
