Thanksgiving Card Rips, NFL Predictions & Hobby News You Need Today

I wonder if a lot of people have hobby-related traditions for Thanksgiving. I personally can't think of a better time than watching football. Eatin' turkey and ripin' some packs. Our scans go way up and Thanksgiving. If there's day not so much, but Friday and Saturday and Sunday is probably our biggest days around Christmas also. Last year's quarterbacks are actually carrying this year. Drake May, Bonaig's, Hale Williams. They're getting a lot out of last year's class. Can you knee lock into it? That was their last year printing and then tops gets the seniors this year or juniors this year. That was hoping for some one on one to Drake May or something to be awesome. So that thing faster than I can eat that turkey leg. Ha ha ha ha! Welcome to the Trading Cards and Collectibles Podcast on the Radcast Network. From Chasing Grails to Colin Bluffs, I'm going inside the hobby. Are you ready to collect? Let's get at it. Here is your host, Ryan Alford. Hello. And welcome to Trading Cards and Collectibles here on the Radcast Network always powered by LudEx. Always powered by Brian Ludden. What's up, Brian? Ha ha ha! Hey, we got to see him. I know. We do.

We're thankful that you're listening wherever you are, whenever you are. You never know. That's always an interesting one, Brian. You never know when someone's listening. That's true. You know, it's possible. It's a full transparency because that's what we do here. We're transparent. You know, we live in the gray, but we're always transparent. Ha ha ha! We are recording this because we believe in celebrating family. We are recording this before turkey day, but we are going to talk through and be a laid-back episode. We'll see how long it goes. No matter how long it goes, we appreciate you for being here. We are thankful for all of our listeners so far. We appreciate everyone that's helped make this show a hit so far, even if in our own mind. And I'm thankful for the opportunity to be on here with the Orion and your team and Bella.

I'll either get you south, though. I don't know if you want to stay up north in those years. No, I'm down. I'm down in south for the winter. I'll save you a spot. You can have a back half of the houseboat. They need to cheer on the beach. It's pretty big. Yeah. Hey, if you're a loyal listener, you know, maybe we'll have a houseboat party. Oh, okay. I've had it out the opening up. That's the whole listenership. But I'm just saying, I'm just such in a good mood for Thanksgiving that giving away free journeys. But yes, collectibles.show is where you'll find all of the channels and learn more about what we're doing. And ultimately, hey, we want to hear from you. You do case hits at collectibles.show. What's you to send in your favorite pulls of the week? And here's the difference. This isn't about just value. Hey, we want to see some $10,000 hits, had a couple of those myself a few months back. But it's not just about the values about what you're collecting. What means something to you? Share a story. Share a video of you holding up the card that you hit last week. That was your favorite player and you nailed it. So case hits at collectibles.show, send in those videos. I want to know the stories. We're going to bring them to life here on the show. We're going to do a segment each week once we get rolling and get some videos in where we share that on the show with us. We'll feature you on collectibles.show. What's happening? What are some of you? We talked last week. You know, Thanksgiving's both of our favorites. I think somewhat of a sign of age for me, at least I can admit that. But that's also the time that you get with family all around together being the same day every year. What's some of the favorite things you'll do on Thanksgiving? Well, we do like, we'll do my, I have three brothers all in Chicago. So on Thanksgiving, actually, we do kind of a smaller thing, just my family and kids. And then on Saturday, we do family and friends. And this year, we're having 35 people Saturday, 25 pound turkeys. And I just bought two cases of wine. Nice. So is this at the, the Luddon, Kata, it's at the homestead, but no, it's always fun. I love Thanksgiving. Are you, do you cook or do you have it prepared? I buy, I go to the liquor store and buy liquor. Yep. Because that's more important than food. Yeah, I clean, I clean, I'm the frickin' best cleaner, man. Like everyone leaves it like midnight or whatever and I clean from like midnight to 1.30 and everything's done. That's, hey, you got to have both ends. It's easy to do the prepare, you're in a good mood, having a wine, but cleaning up is not fun, you know, so you got to have that too. It's an important teammate. It is. Hey, he makes the dream work. I just love watching, you know, the football, trying to just completely tune out the rest of the world. And it's like, I'm focused on eating and football and it, I'm pretty good compartmentalizing. I mean, you get older and you get enough, you know, stresses in life that, you know, it can be hard, but I try to, I do pretty good on Thanksgiving weekend as much as possible. And easier is, you know, own a mountain company and kind of being able to control some things, you can't control everything, but when you work for other people or have other shareholders like you, it can be hard. I got a few investors. Yeah, you got a few investors get to keep happy, but you know, they know you're doing a good job. And the, to kind of tune it out. And, you know, but I think I am going to do it this year, you know, not just because I'm going to, I've been saving, I was thinking what we're going to do, we're going to open whatever. The boys and I have been saving some of our favorite packs. I think maybe that's going to be a turn into like a Thanksgiving holiday thing. We'll have to, I will maybe turn the camera on for that so you can see it. So we'll, we'll rip some of our favorite stuff this year on like Thanksgiving day. That's awesome. You know, all the boxes are all ones that might have those special one on one card, but I got to look, if they've all been found yet, like at this point, we did, we did that last week. We went to, you bought some wax and I'm like, I'm going to do a magic trick. I'm going to take $350 and turn it into zero. Like I said, we keep it transparent. Oh man. I mean, we might have got ten bucks back. Was it, was it one box or was it multiple those three? So we bought like a bunch of retail stuff. That's all that's all we can afford here, you know, a tech start up is kind of expensive. Yeah, you think I wouldn't want your server bill. But the, that's interesting that you got Jack, I got, I'm kind of hit her miss on retail too. I mean, and even hobby like, I don't know the matter, but like you only see the hits. You just say that, you know, all the highlight clips, you know, I do, that's why I do like some of the guys like Pac-Man's really like watch that he's so funny, he starts bad mouth in himself and then he turns it around every time, but he will, he's like, oh, we're cooked and he's like over a $2,000 box and gotten like, you know, $50 first, he's like, well, we're cooked there. Next, next, it's like, it is, you know, but it's funny we talk about it, and if you're listening, everybody can relate, well, if you're listening, you've probably ripping some packs on at some point, if you aren't, then maybe you're on the wrong dial. But the, but in all seriousness, if they were all hits all the time, it wouldn't be as fun, right? It's got, it's, it's the chance of, you know, like, and it would have to value. So it's like, you got to take the good with the bad. I think we'd all agree, we think that value might be better, so there might be room in the middle, but it is sort of the, I don't know, high stakes that make it interesting, right? Yeah, I mean, it's definitely in the fabric of this, this, this hobby, it's, you know, you have like a normal distribution curve, and you have like your, your outliers of like, people who are just like, having like, on breaks, live breaks, opening shit, then you have like the old people, let's just buy vintage, and it's everyone in between. And that's what makes this, that's why this industry is so much bigger than people think, because there's so many different personas inside of them. Yep, tons. And you never know, I mean, and look, unlike scratch cards, they do have value a little bit, you know, if you open 250, you know, you might get $20, but you know, that's scratch cards worth nothing. If it doesn't have a winner on it, it is painful to just keep just throwing away base cards and you're just like, well, garbage, I'm like, I'm like, our boys are old enough and I'm like, it's just garbage. So put it in the garbage, because if not, we'll have like, I already have five million cards, we'll have five million, five point one million, if we don't do that. So I've kept just enough thinking, you know, no one I'm opening the shop, thinking like, okay, I can give away, but you know, kids are gotten so snobby now, they don't want the comments. Yeah. Oh, three cards for the kids, oh, you know, you're gonna, oh, you're gonna look at me like that. It's like, it's like to do nothing on a Halloween that gives you a penny when you're like, okay. Yeah. No, it's the, uh, it's the buttered toffee, you know, like the, the paper wraps candy thing that no one likes is really chewy and like pulls your teeth out, yeah, that's the equivalent of it. Like, oh, thanks for the piece of candy that I'm never going to eat. Yeah. Right. For you. Yeah. I'm just trying to be nice. He knows better. He's like, you're just trying to hand off your comments that you don't want to throw away. You got me. Uh, yeah. The, uh, inevitably the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions are playing, the Lions have usually sucked. The last few years, they've actually been good. Um, you may have lost this past week, but a lot of people are going to lose to, uh, uh, the teams that are in that division, I think they got kind of crazy. But I think ultimately though, it's cool to see the same guys, you know, what makes Turkey better than Detroit Lions football? And it's like, um, and now they had a third game at night. So I think there's three games. Yeah. There is. I don't know if the night game has like the same thing as, you know, same team every night. Chiefs and cowboys, Packers Lions, the lowest helping me here are executive producer. Go figure. As it all in a note for us and, um, I'm banging through it like I don't know what it is. The chiefs of the cowboys, Packers Lions, and then at night game is the Bengals and the Ravens, which would be a lot better if Joe Burrow would ever come back. Yeah. But that's what they had in mind when they skidged. Yeah. That's exactly what they had in mind. That's one of those. All these were pre-planned. You know, like, okay, make sense. Yeah. But he got turf toe. And if you're listening, all three of those games have already ended and you know, the scores because this is airing the day after it. So, uh, we hope you enjoyed those games. Uh, this is not meant to be the news on those games. We're talking in nostalgia of what you do on Thanksgiving and what we enjoy. We break some, we break news a lot, but we also reg, you know, no, we're getting regurgitated. It's the opposite of breaking it. Yep. If you're listening like you should be on a Friday, the Friday that this releases, uh, lots of good college rivalry games, you get the egg bowl, which I think actually happens. It might have already happened. I think that does happen on Thursday. The one game with Thursday. Winston and South Carolina play, uh, the battle, the Palmetto state, two teams that were top 15 coming into the season, high expectations. And once three and five, three and six and one's five, uh, that's a lot of college football. I don't know what happened. They both hit the freaking, uh, I don't know, low, low, low, low threshold. Just a lot of teams like that that just like, just did not show up. You got Penn State, you got Clemson, I mean, Texas is fine, but like, they're not there even all from what was expected when they were playing in national title favorites. Yeah. Probably not, I would say definitely not going to make the playoffs and watching a lot of college football, I, I don't see anyone beat the Ohio State. I mean, they're just so good, I agree. Very, very good at the football. I'm pretty good at the football game. These guys look like pros have ever seen them. Texas takes a name. We'll be pretty interesting though. Texas is good enough to like, give Texas a name to problems, but eight M's on the feed. It looks pretty good. Uh, they got the, uh, the iron bowl, Auburn Alabama down in Tuscaloosa, but not sure it's going to mean much back. The name is still in the thick of it for the playoff, but they got beat by Oklahoma and my boy, you know, Clemson lost their defense, a coordinator who went back home. That's who's tearing it up and that was a pretty good game, that was a pretty competitive game though. Yeah. Brent Vennables. He was Clemson's DC for both for the national title run, multiple national titles. And we miss him and he's, he's doing well at Oklahoma, but that was a great game. And a big win for them is shot at getting in the, um, what's happening with the Manel Awards? Well, the Manel Awards, um, close it on the 21st of midnight. Okay. So that's already closed by the time we're airing the show. And it's getting a lot of cool press, you know, it's just, it's just a great thing, um, for the hobby. Evan does, Evan Parker is a great, great guy and does, you know, does things the right way. Um, but it's super interesting because I mean, we could go through and we could pick our favorites. Yeah. From the list. Um, but there's a lot of, a lot of categories, not more than I thought. Yeah. I think we should go through it. Uh, we've got all, all named the categories, but we got best sports card product, best non sports card product, hobby shop, hopefully both bars will be on there next year, best sold memorabilia and innovation or what was the innovation like, that's us innovation. So the podcast, don't they have like best podcasts also, maybe they do, I don't know, we are going to list, uh, I think they do have best podcasts, but as we've mentioned, now if you're even on the list, congratulations, you know, it's a big deal and, and to get acknowledged and there's a lot of, I don't know, players in the game and lots of things going on. So if you even make the list, I think you've, you've won. I'm not usually a participation trophy guy, but I think for this one, I think I will, uh, admit that if you're on the list, that's, that's in a comp. You know what I was thinking about doing is, you know how like during trade, uh, draft night when like, the whole family's there and they're, they got the quorum are looking in. I want to have my company sit in our family room. And when they announce it, it's either going to be like, you know, or just, or just total silence like dead like, you know, it's just, you know, lots of big dudes, like, like, like they're unaffected, but deep down like, cursing, uh, I mean, let's look at some of these. We've got best sports card product. So 20, 24 tops, chrome update, 23, 24 upper deck, the cup, 24 pinini NFL national treasures, 24 pinini WNBA rookie royalty, 2024 tops, 50, 50 show, hey, autonomy. That's interesting. We've got all these category and then one's a player. I don't know. I, okay, I'll take, uh, Tony, I'm like, you, you might as well, he's the best at everything. Exactly. I think he plays all those other, you know, he plays all the sports now. He's now playing football hockey and, uh, WNBA basketball. I mean, there's so many products. This is like, it's, it's, it's really, it's like, if you had 16 kids and say, who's your favorite kid? There's so many, so much product. Yeah. And ironically enough, I mean, I'd probably still take the Otoni. I don't know, let me look, national treasures is a great, is a great product. So it's, it being football, it being football guys, like, I'm, you know, give me the NFL national treasures, uh, for, for, uh, five, Brian. Yeah. And I mean, I gotta go, it's, it's like, yeah, I mean, it's, I, I don't know what those other ones cost, but like, it's really, that, that's going to win. I mean, obviously. It's the flagship. Yeah. And it's a good product. It's kind of one of those products I'm sad with the licensing. Yeah. Like, uh, I mean, I've heard people say this, but I haven't heard Panini has Panini come out and said, we're just not going to make without the license. We're not even going to make these anymore. No, I think that, I think they will. I mean, because I've been watching these breakers, like, I've mentioned Pac-Man last week, but Pac-Man, like, does this thing? And he's been going, this is the last mosaic football. I'm like, are they not going to make it even if it's not licensed? Like next year, I haven't heard that announcement. That's a tough one because like, if you don't have the athletes, you don't have the players' association, like, what do you really have? I mean, I, I think some of their top products can still stay alive. I mean, I have a, uh, Otani, uh, flawless. That's still a cool card, but, you know, you can't really go too deep with, without the license. I mean, as a marketing guy and like, doing a lot of product launches and a lot of product shots and product things over the years, the one thing I've been surprised at is that they're not more strategic because you could, some of them act, I just used by accident because they don't do them all this way, though accidentally have some of this non-license like last year top stuff where the players at a certain angle to, you see his likeness, but you aren't so caught off guard that there's no name on the jersey because it's an angle where you wouldn't have seen much anyway. Yeah. And I'm like, if I was the non-license guy, I am getting very strategic in the product shots because you can make it look like you don't miss it a little, like at least 80% and I'm not saying you're not fooling me, buddy, but you can get 80% of the way there with the right product shot where it gets funky. And I've said this before is Webinyama Reckleague dunking on someone where it's straight ahead and it's a badass dunk, but he's got the Reckleague uniform on because where would normally be huge logos on pants and shirt, he looks like he's at the Y Reckleague uniform. And that is like, you think it's a cool shot because he's dunking, but it's terrible shot because you don't have the license and you miss the logo. But if he, if they had shown it, we're like, okay, he did a reverse like sideways and you weren't going to see much of the logo anyway, you kind of, your brain will play a trick on you a little bit that you're not missing it as much. I feel like, I know that this is like smoking mirrors, like I'm just saying is a marketer though. I've had to put lipstick on pigs before and let me just tell you, this is how you do it. Penini needs to hire you, man. Exactly. Yeah, it is, but I'm just telling you this, I'd be thinking through it because it's not, I'm not, you can't fool people. I mean, it's not going to be what it was, but I'm just saying I flipped through enough cards, a lot of tops last year, that I was like couple where you wouldn't have necessarily felt as, you know, disconnected from the team, by the way the shot was. Anyway, food for thought, they can hire me, call me at 1-800 still available. So yeah, we'll wait for that. Best non-sports card product, you know, I'm just telling you, my boy, well, you can hate on them all you want, but Gary V, V friends, I'll take V friends for 500. Me too. Of course. Yeah. Gary's doing big things and more motivated than anyone on the planet and trying to do the right things. And I think he is. And so, I don't know, I can sure. He's got my boat. He's got my boat. A hobby shop. I haven't, like, it's hard because we just haven't, I haven't been to most, I've been to bleaker and in New York. And it's cool, but it's kind of cool because you're in New York, but it's not. And I like those guys. Don't nobody come hate on me. But what in that destination? You know, it was just kind of, so the cool street in Manhattan, three blocks from where I live. So, it's cool, but I don't know. I think we got lots of opportunity with the Linux store within the stadium at the stadium, looking at the stadium and, you know, badass store that it is. Did I say cool stores that you're open? The only, are you going to be the, I think you are, right? The only trading card store that's like overlooking a majorly baseball team stadium. I don't know of any others, but maybe one card. Well, Cardwall has some locations inside of arenas. So similar. But are they as awesome as yours? They have a different awesomeness. Their owners, their owners way more awesome. I mean, if you want to say Tom Brady's awesome. Okay. He has a goat. But no, it's cool. The lowest card shop will make the list. And we'll carry up the rear with the most eclectic hometown spot here with collectible station. That'll be the goal, at least for the next year or two. Yeah, you'll do it. Yeah. What was it? Well, I do go bigger, go home, baby. Yeah. The innovators awards, I don't have all the list. I only have the hopeful absolute without a doubt should winners list, which Linux is on. I think I might vote too. Yeah. I don't know. Who else is in the category? I don't want to do them any distrust. I mean, I'll look, if you're on this list, congratulations. Like, it all serious. Like, yeah, we have fun. We're joking around. This is lighthearted Thanksgiving edition of pretty cards and collectibles. But if you're on the list, congratulations, you know, it means something. But as a show powered by LudEx and because they're the best scanning card app on the planet, we're going to vote for them. And we did a thousand times. Why not? When do they get announced? Well, I saw some time in December, but I'm not really sure. The voting closes. They have to count the mail-in votes. They have to go to the super PACs. Make sure that I heard that Hillary Clinton may or may not be announcing the winners. I'm sure she loves this industry. It's right up her alley. No, the super PACs, players. You know, I guess in a way, we've been our unsuperpacted on the show. Like, skewing votes. One at a time. Oh, we could take over the mantle awards. I don't know. Hopefully, if nothing else, if you didn't vote, you know, feel bad about yourself. Yeah. And you should. And you should. And I am curious, like, I wonder if a lot of people have hobby-related traditions for Thanksgiving, you know? I mean, I can't say I sit here and know that they do, but I'm sure some people do. Like the family football game. Yeah, that in like that. Everybody watch the football game, but they, but cards are, you know, something to do with collectibles that's related to it. They always save, like, packs the rip. Like, we're talking about with the boys, like, saying that tradition. I don't know. You think so. A lot of family times sitting around. I mean, I personally can't think of a better time than watching football eating turkey and ripping some packs. I think that you got to start that tradition. Well, we will. For sure. But you can say the sense of DM. Let us know. We'll, we'll bring them up and send them some pictures. I need some pictures. I need evidence. Like, and hey, nothing's delicious. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm sure there's going to be our scans go way up and Thanksgiving. It's Tuesday. Oh, it's insane. Like Thursday, Thursday, not so much, but Friday and Saturday, some days, probably our biggest days. Well, Chris around Christmas also. Did you guys see pops with Pokemon with all the releases that have been happening? Yeah, I mean, else any inquiry. I would think you had to, right? Yeah, they, uh, they kind of over took basketball for a little bit. And then basketball fell below. So it's, it's, it's, it's baseball football and then Pokemon or basketball. Um, and then they kind of, it depends if, like, what product comes out when the seasons are over, like football season. And then you've got just basketball for a little while, or maybe like spring training or whatever, of course. But this basketball ever get close to the other sports, like even when those sports aren't in, they're, they're like maybe 10% lower than football and football is like 30% lower than baseball. So it's, it's kind of, it's, it's not like a huge gap. But as a percentage of scans and roughly, now you don't have the number and data sent for them to roughly, what percent of all scans is baseball? 40, what 40, 40% yeah. And that, that lines up with probably the hobby. And you know what this, you know, it's so crazy about that that I feel like I've got to get my baseball, Mojo back like in the world series help. I'll say that. The whole world series and the whole playoffs help get me kind of the baseball juices going again. But that gap, you know, with that football. Yeah, that gap is contingent on like this year, it's going to be really shitty. Like, I don't, like that gap baseball always stays consistent. If you don't have a quarterback class, like last year was a great quarterback class this year. Like I see that gap between football and baseball becoming much larger next year. Yeah, because you got Jackson Dard is on a crappy team, who's good. But, you know, he, it might be a star. I think he has a good shot at it. But he's on a crappy team not getting the pub because, you know, that's if scatabood stayed healthy and they could win some gains and be like 500, that could have maybe fueled some of it. But that was like the worst thing that could happen a football with, with scatabood getting hurt. And the giants kind of sucking so that those one too, being in the New York market too could have really elevated a lot. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, there were six quarterbacks in the top 10, I think last, last year. This year, I don't think there's going to be one in the top 15. No, but you see the drag may last year's quarterbacks are actually carrying this year. Yeah, drag may, bonics, hailed Williams, dating still popular, you know, he's hurt. I mean, that, they're getting a lot out of last year's class. Oh, yeah. That was a great, I mean, pinini luck, you know, luck into it. You know, that was our last year printing. You know, and then tops gets, you know, gets the seniors this year or juniors this year. Oh, there you go. Hoping for some like one on one, like one on one, drag may or something would be awesome right now. And so that thing faster than I could eat that turkey leg. Because it's, uh, it's getting that. And I like drinking. I think it's going to be good for a while, but it's still sold out of that thing. Um, so I got a lot of options here. Maybe, maybe we'll get lucky here. You know, I say choices. Yes, yes, we do. Um, I'll never forget a kid's story. Like this was like, uh, just regular downrest, but these downrest mega boxes were really hot this year. And literally I walked in and they had lots of big hits at them and they had the optic previews and you had all the hot quarterbacks. And I walked into like, uh, a sporting goods store. I won't name them because they need to be a sponsor. I'm not getting free pub, Brian. We don't get free pub here. Um, let's your name's Ludden because you make the best that planet. Um, and, but it all seriousness walked in. And these things were like going for triple retail. Like, you know, like they're 45, 50 dollar box. They were going for like 150 bucks. You know, like on the dark market. I don't know about it, but I heard there was one. Um, and the, uh, walked in and they just got in the case of these things. And I became a scalper. I'll admit it. I bought everyone. And that's the last. Yeah. That was the last. I got over like 47 dollars a box. And that's where I looked about like, I got to walk out of the store and sold them the parking lot for like 125. It's the weirdest thing with freaking retail and some of the shit when it gets hot. Anyway, this is the last box from that I sold. I think all of them are in open to bonds. It is in brakes and then the safe the last one. There's at least six downtowns in here loaded. Who knows? Downtown Caleb Williams got him. And, uh, I do have some cool Caleb cards. That's part of my favorites. My, my Baker did a grading on my, uh, uh, color blast. Oh, yeah, one. Yeah, color mixed color blast. Mm. That's a break. I've got a micro mosaic. Greg May. It's a really cool card. Oh, yeah, I got the Patrick and Holmes. Yeah, that's cool card.

And, uh, you know, it's just really a great time of year to just reflect on how lucky we are in this country to be born here and, uh, you know, surround ourselves with wonderful people. So that's my, that's my Thanksgiving 100%. Never forget how lucky we are. And, uh, you know, just don't take it for granted. I think we all do sometimes and just remember that and I don't know.
