UFC Fighter Turned Hobby Breaker: Josh Emmett on Building One Punch Cards

Man, if you told me when I was a little kid that eventually I was going to have my own trading card or be in a video game, I'm going to be like, you're crazy. That's the cool crossover that's kind of going on. You're seeing athletes and you know, superstars and sports like yours and what you're doing and then and other ones where you never know you're going to pop up in a break. Welcome to the Collector Nation podcast here on the Collector Nation Network. Whether you're chasing trails or calling bluffs, you take you inside the hobby. Here's your host, Ryan Alfer. Little monologue intro for you and then we just have a back and forth. I got a few things to keep you conversational. Perfect. Five, four, three, two, one of one. Most athletes are on trading cards, but not many are actually in the hobby. Josh Emmett is a UFC featherweight known for his knockout power, but he's also building something in the car world with one punch cards today. We're talking about fighting, collecting and what it's like being on both sides of the hobby. Josh, welcome to Collector Nation. Yeah, it's great to be here. How are you? I'm great, man. You're the first fighter I've had on the show. So there's a first for everything, one of one, one of one fighters on the collectible show and I'm sure one of many that probably collect, but the first thing when I talk to someone that has cards with their face on, I'm like, you got to admit, it's pretty cool to have your face on a trading card. I was always as a young child, I was such a big sports fan and what got me into collecting was 90s basketball. If you told me when I was a little kid that eventually I was going to have my own trading card or be in a video game, I would be like, you're crazy, but yeah, it is pretty cool. I feel like it's been such a, you know, quite a while now that I've been on the trading cards and a bunch of different collectibles and things like that. So now I feel like it's more just the norm, but I still have to zoom out and be like, man, this is fucking, this is amazing. This is so. What's it like? I want to focus mainly about what you're doing in cards, man. That's what this show is about, but what's something maybe the audience or something? What's it like being a world fighter, like a world class UFC fighter? Like what is the true mindset that maybe people don't understand about what it takes to do what you do? Yes, just, man, it's just mentality. It's like mindset is everything and that's with whatever you're trying to do in life, whether it's a relationship or, you know, you're trying to accomplish something in school or just get a, get a job or a career, everything is a mindset. And for me, it's just, it's literally hard work. It's discipline, it's consistency. I write out my goals like I know what I want to achieve, what I'm trying to achieve. And so I just get up every day and I work towards those goals trying to become a better person, a better athlete, a better fighter and just just get as close to that goal as possible. And you've heard it time and time before I'm trying to be one percent better than I was yesterday. And it's just, it's never ending. Like a lot of people think, you know, it's a, I don't know, anyone that's a fan of the sport, the UFC or in the made, like I've traveled the world and, you know, if they're a fan, they'll know who I am. But it's a, it's a very, people think it's like this lavish lifestyle and just a bunch of like, you know, whether they're thinking it's like parting just crazy, but it's, it's just, it's boring. Like I, I feel like me, I live a very boring life because I can tell you when I'm in camp, I like to be in camp anywhere from like seven to nine to 10 weeks. If I have a fight book and you tell, you say, I can tell you what I'm doing actually like six weeks out on this day at two p.m. I can tell you exactly what I'm doing because I map out my entire camp. So all my training sessions, all my meals, all my recovery sessions and modalities. Like I literally, yeah, it's, it's, it's very boring. It's just, it's, it's so, it's the plan that's structured. And I, but it, but it's amazing. It's, it's truly a, I'm blessed. I, uh, things that I always dreamed of doing. I've turned into reality. And that's just, that's just from hard work. It's Josh and I think they're, they're what you described, you know, if people do go, oh rock star lifestyle of a fighter or something. And I think they know you work out and work hard, but I don't know if they know just how scheduled like every minute is to be prepared. You know, to be a world class fighter. I mean, maybe there's guys that aren't taking a serious, that aren't, maybe truly professional or, you know, at the level that you've been and are. I guess, but I guess at the end of the day, I think about, I know guys in business, they're, you know, billionaires, millionaires. I've done well in business, but you know, I don't climb in that ring. And so like, I think that's what I have always like, what is the, is it one looser screw than everybody else or I don't know what it is. I know it's bravery and mindset and all that, but I, I don't know how you bottle it because I don't know because there's a lot of guys that probably can train like you, Josh, but can't get in that ring. Yeah. Yeah. And there's a lot of people and you've heard before people like, oh, this guy's getting paid that much. I'll fight my Tyson for this. Or I'll fight anywhere for this. I'm like, no, you wouldn't. No, you wouldn't. Yeah. No, you wouldn't. You're backstage and then you start thinking, you're not thinking about your, you're like, oh, shit, I'm not walking out there to go fight that guy. And, and it's like, and it's like, you're under a spotlight. You know, so it's like anything you do, it's like, then you hear all the critics and all the things. It's just like, it's a wild, wild thing. And you, and you talk about knowing all these like, millionaires and billionaires and people that are super successful. And this is something that kind of opened my, my mind. I, I went out and I did this little fireside chat with all these executives and like, extremely wealthy and successful people. And I'm sitting there and I'm just talking to them like how, how I think, how I process things. And there was, there was so many of them that were like, I couldn't stop thinking about like what you were saying and your mentality and your mindset when you're like preparing for a fight or you're stepping into the octagon. And I was like, it blew me away because I was like, isn't that how you guys think? Isn't that? That's why you guys are successful. And he's like, no, we don't think like that at all. And I was like, no way. Just, I was, I was like, I thought, because they're in this position, that's why they got there. They're like, no, it's not. And so I was like, after talking to a handful of them, I was like, oh my god, like he's like, I want you to come on this circuit and just like, you know, talk to all of our, our employees and stuff like that. And it just blew me away. I was like, and that's the, that's the first time that I just really, you know, I, it was the first time that I was on you. I was what you said. Yeah, it's like, it's maybe they don't like that. And they don't, you know, he's just like, oh, we just get here, not saying like certain things are luck, but it's all about like, you know, people you know and connections and things like this. And they're like, no, we don't think like you. No, it's, I don't want to, it's not easy. And you definitely have to have a mindset and business and you've got to put the pieces together. But I don't think there's a level of preparation mentally that comes with, you know, being good in business that compares to what, again, and I've never done it. But I think I'm just, I think I do a fairly good job of like, whether it's empathy or understanding or going, no, because I have those same friends have done that in my Tyson thing. And I'm like, no, you wouldn't. And no, I wouldn't. Like, I, you, there's not enough money because I know what would happen. And I think maybe because I have been successful in business and I know people, I've been in pressure situations that are pressure enough, but aren't that kind of pressure that I know, nah, that's a different, different thing and a different sort of, I think I don't know if you can prepare yourself completely for, again, being the brutality and the reality of fighting not for your life, but in some ways you are. Okay. Yeah. I would agree with you because every fight could be your last fight. You never know what's going to happen in there. And it's like the unknown. It's a, it's like, I'm hoping everything turns out for the best, but you really don't know. I'm stepping in there. And I always say it's like it's like flooring your sports car into a tree with no seat belt on. You hope everything turns out for the best, but you have no idea. You've seen some like horrible things that have happened. And it's just like, man, it's like it is a preparation. But you're willing to do it. It is a very select few that are willing to do that. Yeah. And it's like even like going back to the mindset, I, I work with a mine coach. I have to prep and prime myself because there's so much work that goes into it physically and mentally and all these things. And then I have to have this little, you know, time, fight day. I'm, I'm getting myself ready and I'm, I'm welcoming like what could happen? And I'm okay with what could happen, whether it's like the absolute worst thing, like physically mentally, like everything, like I'm okay. I'm about to go throw myself into the fire. But I have to, I have to be okay with it. And it's just, it's a, it's a wild, it's a wild Josh, I want to turn to cards. I know you didn't have the result that you wanted this weekend. Just to put a fine, you know, kind of clothes on the, the fighter side of things. Where do you, where do you plan to go from here or have you even thought through that? It's just kind of like processing. Yeah, it's like I, I have to just kind of, you know, I don't know, just kind of process this stuff from the result and kind of like get like level and then go, okay, what's next? Yeah, pretty much. It's like, you know, we were out in Vegas and I was just, I stayed out there for a few days. I just got home last night. And then that's Sacramento. And then yeah, I'm just, I literally all talked to my manager soon. Get things going. But for me, it's like, I already know, I have to move on. I can't sit there and dwell on the past because then it'll affect me moving forward and when I want to accomplish. So obviously it wasn't my night. The, you know, Kevin Yehose, he's a young up in Cumber. Good kid. He'll have a lot of success. So, you know, I wish him all the best and more power to him. But yeah, I'll get back in there. It's life. You know, it's, I just, I have to keep on getting better and keep on moving forward. That's one thing that, you know, whether you're talking about maybe a screw loose or something like I'll never stop. And then it's, yeah, I still have a lot of goals. I want to accomplish. And so I'll get back in there and I'll, I'll be back sooner than later. Cool, man. I appreciate you opening up about that. I know it's tough. I mean, you're just removed. But I didn't want to like, it's kind of like that thing. Like dude, I know it's painful, but dude, you got the strength. You got the mental power to do or the hell you want. Let's talk some cards, brother. Um, so when did we get into trading cards and why? Yes, it's just so going back to, uh, man, 90s basketball. I was such a big football, basketball, baseball fan. Um, I was, I was riding my bike up to the local card shop. Um, just, just buying basketball was mainly my, like, uh, it was my sport. So I was a huge fan. And I still have all my, uh, my original collection, uh, I have tons of like Kobe, uh, rookies and not, not like the really high end ones, but you know, the, the decent ones that are like a thousand bucks. I have tons of him. Iverson Vince Carter, uh, Tim Duncan was my, one of my favorites. Uh, so I, I just, I loved sports. I loved basketball. And uh, that, that's what, that's what got me into, uh, the, the hobby really did, uh, now how many did you keep from those? Yeah. Like when you started back as an adult or it kicked back in, something probably made it, imagine there was a pause, like, most people like me, like you had a pause in there. Like I clicked to grow it up and then pause or that I had kids, that boys that got into it. Uh, but how many did you hold on to? Yes, it says, yeah, exactly. I was collecting everything, even the original, you know, Pokemon cards, like I'm one of those. I was in like eighth grade or my freshman year when Pokemon had just come out and I'm buying all like the, the original Pokemon cards and I have no idea where the hell those things are. They're probably in the trash. But I, but I do have like all my original basketball cards. Like I have all of those still. Um, so I have those and then it's like, you know, I was a collector just in general of, um, just collect the bowls and like hogs and slammers, uh, back then and then I just, I had this long mole, I guess. Um, and then what really got me back into it was, um, you know, I got into the UFC and now I have my own trading card. I'm in the product. I have a lot of my friends, one of my best friends. He's, he's been in the hobby forever and his, his children are my, my God children and he's like buying all of these cards for himself, especially mine, you know, he's like, buy them on eBay and, and they're outbidding all of our friends and stuff like that. Um, and even then I was like, I kept telling him like, hey, you guys stop wasting your money on my cards and stuff like that. Look at this. I just got this, you know, to five or whatnot and that once they kind of, they were doing it for a few years, a bunch of my friends and, and my little brother and everything. And then I went down to the Burbank card show because, uh, there was, uh, Eric's name, uh, the, the UFC card father. He had my rookie 101 and one of my friends Alex was down there. He's like, hey, Josh, he's got your, your rookie 101. And so I was already down in Anaheim because I was going to, I was watching Ilya and Volkynosky fight for the world title. So me and my buddy hopped in a uber all the way down there and, uh, met up with him. So he's like, you're the first fighter to ever come and buy their rookie card. So he was kind of like star struck a little bit, um, but he's like, he gave me such a good deal for the, for the 101 and the to five. So it can complete my rainbow. And uh, he's like, we just signed these cards for me. I said, oh, 100%. And then that kind of like really got me back into it just because, you know, for one of all my friends doing this and then like, once I, it just, it just brought like the child back out in me. I was like, oh, this is so fun. And, uh, and then I went down this, you know, Ravel again and just like collecting a lot of my one of ones. And then if I get the 101, then it's like, I have to complete the set, you know, or the rainbow. So I have multiple sets and things like that. And then it got me into, you know, just other collectibles again. I kind of got back into some, um, Pokemon. And of course, I like Pikachu and in Gengar, all the popular ones, the, the price you, uh, characters. And then I managed by Vayner Sports. Uh, that's Gary Vayner Chucks and, uh, and AJ Vayner Chucks Agency. And then with Gary doing his own IP of V friends, I've been in that ecosystem for a long time since the digital collectibles back during the pandemic. Uh, and so now he has his top V friends. And I'm like, you know, I'm a big, uh, I'm digging that, that community in space. I'm like collecting V friends, Pokemon. My buddy's got me into one piece. I'm like, it's been so fun. Dude, you're in all of it. Uh, we're distributor for V friends. And I know Gary. He's been on my business show a couple of times. He's been on this show as well. So, uh, I know, you know, Gary and I I would, that's not sort of friends, but pretty good acquaintances business was. Um, yeah. And, uh, well, I love upstairsing. I was just looking at some V friends, the super stickers. We've, we carry those that just came out. So you probably, you got one within reach? Oh, yeah. There you go. Yep. Right here. I got cases over there. I'm like stashes. I'm like, my son and I have been ripping through some of those. We got some pretty good numbered ones and some pretty good decent ones. So it's fun. Are you, are you a rip? Are you a pack ripper? Are you a, uh, bat, buy and hold? Uh, I'd say more, uh, yeah, I'm definitely ripping whatever I get my hands on. But to be honest, I've been really good. I've surprised myself just because like, I am, I am stashing a few things, but it's like, it's so hard for me because even when, uh, going back to like all the digital collectible, uh, NFTs and stuff, like I, I own, I have several, uh, series one and that shit ton of series two. I was buying like cases of books just to get like the, the series two and from the original, uh, V friends, like, I think I got like 16, whatever you, if you want to call those a case or a box and, and I was in the stash, a handful of them. I ended up opening all of them and then it's, uh, yeah, it's just, it's, it's, it's wild, but I, but I am doing better with a handful of stuff. I do want to open a case of the, uh, super stickers and then I'll maybe I'll keep these, but it's, uh, yeah, I'm definitely ripping things when I, when I give that. What's up with one-punch cards? What are you doing with that? And, you know, what's the kind of the goal with it? Yeah. So, so one-punch cards, it's, uh, you know, it's, uh, to online breaking, uh, business that, uh, my buddy and I started. It's, uh, you know, world, whatnot and fanatics live. And we're just trying to, uh, we're just, we're just having a blast, so we're, we're literally just trying to, you know, do, do our part and, uh, you know, just, we're just like everybody else and it's, it's been a little, it's been fun just for people because, uh, I don't know, it's like a live Q&A. It's like people come in and every single time that I'm on, people will be like, oh, I'm such a big fan. What do you, what are you doing on this show? And they're, I'm like, you're obviously not that big of a fan. Otherwise, you would know it's, it's my, uh, our panel. But, uh, no, we're just, we're just having a good time at, and obviously, the hobby and the community has been so welcoming and, uh, we're, we've been, now we've been breaking on, online since, yeah, about like a year and a half, uh, but we have some goals, you know, it would be cool to have a brick and mortar, do a retail shop. It would be awesome to get, um, you know, a handful of, you know, breaking rooms in the back so we could have, we weren't like a AM and a PM shift, we weren't a weekend shift. We want to just continue to grow into a, to a business and, and have people on multiple platforms, almost 24, seven, and have a physical location where people can come into and we can do different, you know, I don't know, events and meet greets and kids can come in and just kind of hang out after school and, you know, collect and trade and, and do all these type of things. It's, uh, it's been, it's just been so fun. And yeah, we're going to keep on, we're going to keep growing it. What, um, yeah, I mean, I did, my four boys got into it and I open the retail store literally have a grand opening this week and we've been open for a month, soft opening for collector station. And so we've got a 3000 square foot space. It's pretty much exactly what you just described. Wow. And that's South Carolina. Yeah, South Carolina, we're on the other end of the spectrum here. Yeah, but it's fun. We got lots of space for people to come in and do and, you know, we're kind of our, our taglines trade night every day because we've got space where, you know, you know, old school card shops are, you know, some of them are like 10 by 10. It's like, get in, get out. You know, we got tons of space and tables and it, it feels almost like a sports bar, but it's a, a trading card store, you know, we've got, TVs, big screens and lots of places for people to kind of hang out and do trades and rip stuff. And then we did some breaking before the show, but the last, I mean, or before the store opened, but the last four months, we've been getting the store ready. So then we're going to start back on the breaking side. But, um, what are you guys breaking? Are you, you have, you have C stuff? Or is it all over the map? Yeah, right, right now we're with, uh, obviously with top fanatics, uh, we, we have partnership with them and we're, uh, predominantly, we're under the combat division. So we're doing mostly UFC, um, we're doing WWE and then, but we're gonna break, we want to break everything, you know, uh, yeah, we have to build up that clientele right now. Our clientele is predominantly, you know, UFC and WWE, but it's like anytime there's, there's cars like even me being part of the V friends and stuff when we were ripping V friends early on, uh, the, you know, the V friends, the top's chrome V friends, uh, people come in and we have some, some breakers that, you know, they, like our, our friend Anthony, uh, AP, he, he breaks, he's helping us out right now because in camp, I can't, I'm not going to go on there as much, you know, I mean, so it's, uh, he's, he's holding it down and, uh, he's a huge baseball and football fan. So we just, we just want to build that clientele, um, just because some of the product is obviously more expensive and we can, we would like to, even if we're just breaking even, you know, building that clientele or losing a little bit, we're okay with that, um, but yeah, it's, uh, we want to get into everything. Yeah. How often when you aren't like in camp or training or something, how often will you jump on like a, a break? Yeah, we, we have a, uh, a studio. So typically, um, at least one, once or twice a week, you know, okay, twice a week. That would be sweet. If you're, you know, if you're a fan or whatever, that's, I mean, that's the cool crossover that's kind of going on. You seeing athletes and, you know, superstars and sports like yours and what you're doing and then, and other ones where, you know, they're like, oh, shit, it's Carl Anthony Towns. I like, yeah, you know, you never know who's going to pop up in a break. And that's what we're trying to do things a little different. So like the way we set it up, we were doing, uh, almost like, uh, kind of like a podcast, podcast stylish. Like it's like, yeah, like my, my best friend and I always say my, my wife and best friend only better than I do. I get hit in the head for a living. So I'm like, they'll, they'll be like, they'll be saying stuff such in detail. Like you remember this, like from 18 years ago, I'm like, no, how the hell do you remember that? Uh, it's like, they, they, I don't know. We, we do certain things and like, what we've had fighters on and stuff because I can, you know, have some of like, by friends and teammates come on. So we've had like, like, we to come on my boxing coach. We've done an Anthony Fluffy Hernandez and Max Payne Griffin. They came on and like, we're just doing like different games and, and then having them open, you know, open packs and stuff and rip some, some boxes too. So we're just, we're trying to be like a little different, but still, you know, obviously people are tuning in because they, they want to stop, you know, crack a case or a hobby box of whatever and pull a favorite card. But people think that are true fans. They, they think it's amazing. And we always try to ask for feedback too from like everyone that comes into our streams. We're like, do you guys like this type of stuff? And they're like, oh, we love it. Please keep doing this. So we are mindful of like what we're doing as long as, you know, the, the client wants, uh, we just want to know what the client wants as well and stuff like that. Yeah. I love that, man. You're smart. I've, I've been, you know, I've, I've in the business and I've been in the ad game. And, you know, got in with my boys into this, but I've often thought you've got a live audience here. And yeah, we can't like throw the baby out with the bath water. They're here to buy cards or see cool things, you know, ripped and they can buy in more affordably, maybe then buying a huge hobby box or multiple, but you've got an entertainment platform. You have the screen. And how can we, you know, leverage the screen and that attention in different ways while also doing commerce? So I think it's smart as hell. And I've often thought about that because we're in South Carolina and I went to Clemson and Clemson's really close and I'm pretty connected to the program and a lot of the big athletes there. And I want to start doing like rips where, you know, couple of the big guys that are on the team, you know, and now that they can do NIL and get paid or different things, have them breaking with me, you know, and that's, you know, just as a surprise and delight kind of for the audience. And so though, you might, you might promote it on one hand and then on the others, if it's big enough and you know, you got a lot of people, they just kind of slide in and it's like, oh, shit. Yeah. Yeah. And that's some even even with the crossover of like all the sports and like me being in the UFC, it's like, there's so many, like, I know of like really big stars and all sports that they come to my fights and watch me fight and things like that. And like, I always think about like, oh, maybe when we get into football, we could have so and so kind of co-hosts and like hop in. It would just blow people's minds too, you know, and and we just bring it on different. I can bring a lot of people from the UFC on and we've been doing that. And, you know, and some of the guys that we bring on are so funny, just that naturally, that's how they are. And just character is like, it's just, it's hilarious too. So, yeah, the fans and everyone there, they're super excited. They like what we're doing. And so we're going to we want to continue to expand and just like, I don't know, we just want to do more and more and just make it unique. And that's that's something that I always like, like you said, even though they're there to to buy cards and stuff, like, I like to be a little different and not just do the same stuff everyone else is doing. Like, I like to be like, kind of stand, stand out and do my own thing. Or even like, you know, there's a lot of athletes that hop on to certain streams and sometimes they'll break or they're in the hobby. But there's no athlete, like out there that's consistently doing what I'm doing, like hopping on one the two times a week. And yeah, and then going to all the, you know, all the events going to like the local card shows and I go to like my card shops and then going to like the big events. Like, I want to go to the national this last year, but I just had, you know, I was going to fight shortly after. So it's always like, you know, as long as I don't have any, like conflict with my schedule, we went to Fanatic's Fest last year. That was amazing. I want to, I want to compete in the, in the, you know, the competition. But I'm going to try to go out Fanatic's Fest this year as well. That was, that was a blast. Yeah, I was with my boys at both of those. And we'll be this year as well. Let the hook up if you end up doing that. Yeah. Talking with Josh Emmett, UFC superstar and co-founder, I believe that's the right term of one punch cards. Said, I heard you and a friend. I don't know if that means you're the founder or you're all the co-founders of one punch. All the same. All the same. What's your biggest pull, like ripping cards. Well, it's like, okay, what did you pull out of your own pack that was either the most meaningful or most valuable for myself? Yeah. Yeah. Either way, you can answer that either way. Hey, I pulled a $20,000 or this or I, or you just pulled something that was like, oh, shit, this is cool. Yeah. I think for like going back to the, even more, we're just breaking for some of like, you know, the clients and stuff. It's neat that they can get into a break for, that's a lot more affordable, you know, instead of, you know, hobby boxes are expensive, but even just some of the UFC fans, like we, there was a product, it was like a case break, someone bought in for 30. I think it was like $30 and then we would do a lot of random fighters too, you know, just so it's, you know, so people aren't priced out. Well, still when you're doing pick your fighter or pick your team, it's like, you want that. It's like, obviously the best team or fighter. It's like, it's expensive. And so then that, the people that maybe can't afford that, they can never get that. So we do a lot of random fighters. This guy bought it for $30. He hit Islam, Mahatchah, you know, the pound for pound number one. Yeah. 70, er, it was 55 and 70 champion. Yeah. We pulled him a one of one auto. It was like a $4,500 car. The kid bought it for about 30 bucks. And so I was so excited for him because it's like, obviously, when we rip something, we want to pull everyone heat. We want to pull everyone fighting. It's like, sometimes that's not the case, but it's like, the kid was so damn happy. And he was, he was like, actually at work. He's like, oh, I want my break and all this stuff. I'm going to go, oh, I'm going to quit. I'll do that. You don't want to do that. Another thing is through that was really cool. And that same thing, we, you know, sometimes make mistakes, but we own it. You know, it's like, we, the someone wanted a certain fighter. And for whatever reason, someone else bought it, but it, something that happened where it was our fault. We messed up. So we just told them, hey, tomorrow when we break, why don't you just come into our show. We're just going to get you this fighter for free. And so we did just that. We ended up pulling, and that's his PC. We ended pulling him a one-on-one. And it was his PC is like, my first, and so this day he always pops in and tells the story. And he's just like, I don't know, it's just, it makes, I don't know, it makes us feel good because we're happy. We're happy for like, we're happy when we pull people big, big cars. You want to do it for everyone. But as far as me pulling like out of a pack, I feel like probably when I was doing the cactus jack, pull the pole skeins, rookie, I think it was to 52. That was probably like, I feel like I don't have like the best luck when I'm, when I'm ripping my own, ripping packs and stuff like that. So now I just, if I want something, I usually I'll just, you know, go to a car shop and buy or ebay, and I'll just buy the car that I want. But I have had a lot of success with the friends, you know. Because I open like a handful of cases of those and got some cars and then I'm trying to complete a set. So I have a French bulldog and so like the bad ass bulldogs, like my favorite character. So I'm hoping, I don't think they've surfaced yet, but there's a, I need both the one-on-ones to complete the rain, but like the blast off from the blasters. And then of course the super fractures. So if you, if you see those out there, I'm a buyer when they come out. All right, I'll look through this and see if I got any of that out of the newest. Are they in the new superstickers? The bad ass bulldog? The bad ass bulldog. But it's in the, it's in the, the first that, that then, yeah. I have a fair amount of the first set. I don't, I have to look back through it. Maybe I have something good. I'll send them. But I need, I need those to, the, the blast off one-on-one and the super fractal one-on-one to complete the rain, but I don't know that I have those, but I might have something. I think I know that I had a one-on-one laying around. What is your favorite character out of, or some of your favorite characters out of? I mean, I like the black cat because he's worth so much. Yeah, you know, I'm like, and, and it's kind of interesting. I, um, I sort of, uh, I don't know, I think it, when I, I don't know this to be true, but when I think of a black cat, I think of like something that goes to be their own drum, and that's been me my whole life. So like, I think every life to that, you know? No, I'm the same thing. Like, I like, like, obviously, I, I, I PC certain things just because like, I do like it, but then a lot of times like you're talking about like from that, it's like, okay, the black cats, like, it's like, it's like, it is their mascot. It's like the Pikachu. And so it's like, and it's valuable. So like, I do have like a lot of, so I have the whole, like, rainbow set. You know what I mean? Like a wall, you know, just because, like, the whole little game around it. Yeah. But it's funny. So you would root, uh, yeah, the life of it to close out, Josh. I know you've got a tight schedule. Um, we got a little fun rapid fire. Uh, I'll, I'll go through four quick things. You give me a quick take. Is that cool? Yeah, let's try it. Okay. Favorite card in your collection. My rookie 101, uh, man, it's tough. So, so I have two, I know it's not rapid fire, but I have, my, my rookie sets, there's two of them. There's one from top's chrome and there's one from knockout. So the one with the RC, I have the whole rainbow of my, it's a 101 gold rookie with the RC on there. But I also have my rookie year in top's chrome. And it's a super factor. So it's kind of hard for me to go. It gets like the, the super factor or that. But it's, it's my rookie 101's, I'd say. I like it. I don't know how you know, I hear of all these people, like the players in any sport that don't have any of their own cards. And I'm like, how could you not want your best cards? Let me understand that. Let me, let me show you real quick though. So here's the, uh, this is from pop knockout. This is to nine, but it's a, see, that's, it has no RC on there. That's my, my rookie. But then it's so between that, like I have the whole, obviously, the, the whole rainbow. But I, how can you? Oh, yeah. Oh, the super factor. Yeah. And this rookie year as well. So it's like, I have to watch it on YouTube folks. You got to see this. Josh is holding up his, uh, 101's here. So those, those are like, ah, it's so tough. But I, I'll never get rid of the, either of those said. So I'd say, even though you asked for one, I got two. Hi, one card you want, but don't have. But I'm going to get it's, uh, the, the Mario and Luigi Pikachu, uh, sequential, um, Jim, that 10s, uh, yeah, that it's a 2016 XY promos. I'll get those eventually. I was just been on and I got out there. I'm like, damn it. Like, uh, how would you compare the UFC market versus other sports? I think the UFC market is still in like an infancy, uh, stage. You know, I think it's, uh, some of the, the cars are undervalued. But I, I think, uh, you know, people didn't even know that there's UFC cars feel like there's UFC cards. So I think, uh, I think we're, we're so early. Um, yeah, you're starting to see things and just like the, the quality of the cars or what tops does is phenomenal. So I, I think, uh, yeah, we're very early. I'll say great nascent market. So I'll just try that. That means by now, uh, well, it's low, uh, rip packs or buy singles. It's tough. I love to do both. Um, I feel like with, uh, with my luck, I need to, I need to buy singles, uh, because when I take, typically don't get what I want. It's all, hey, it's the experience. It's like one of the movies, you know, like open to the pack is about the entertainment. That's what we tell people. Like, this is an entertainment. And you, you actually get something to it from for that entertainment. Sometimes you just, you get nothing. Like you do a scratch off card. You don't get shit. You to get, you know, a thousand bucks or nothing. I'll say it's a love hate relationship. It's like one, one of the things that like, uh, I went and bought a, uh, hobby box, a one piece and, uh, you know, I, I didn't really get anything. And then the last pack, you know, last pack magic, I actually pulled one of the, uh, it was the Monkey D. Luffy wanted poster. Oh, yeah. Right. It looks clean. It's like, so that was that, that was one of the, uh, like that card paid for the whole box, you know, I did, uh, I opened one mega box, we're throwing to bed last night. Okay. Of Don Russ football, newest, and, uh, pop the downtown, uh, Brian Thomas Jr. So, uh, yeah, it was a good night. And then like, you just touched it on that. Like it's like, when we, we open stuff, we have like a extra, we have a hobby box left. And we're like, oh, we should just open this as like, you know, my friend and I or like Anthony who breaks for us, uh, because we, like, we do something's in there. And then we're like, oh, no, that's your cell. Because we, you know, we don't do a lot of purses anymore. And so it's like, and then every time we do that, like, because you're talking about the downtown, we, uh, we are like, oh, we'll just, we'll just rip this for everyone else. And then it was, uh, to 10 Travis Kelsi downtown. That's a big one. I pulled a Josh Allen gold downtown last 18 months ago. That's the best card I've ever pulled. Uh, then, uh, yeah. But that one was for, that one was for daddy. Well, and for nobody else. He's my favorite player. Yeah, irony in that. Josh has been a lot of fun. Let's do it again soon.
