Cards as Investments? + Altered Cards in Collections + A Millennial's Hobby Perspective

Jeremy's Collect Originals referral link: https://fanaticscollect.onelink.me/xx... This week on Sports Cards Live, we're tackling some of the hobby's most debated topics. Are sports cards truly investments, or are we fooling ourselves when we treat them that way? Would you knowingly collect an altered card if it looked great, fit your budget, or represented a card you could never otherwise own? And what can we learn from the mindset of today's millennial collector? How are younger hobbyists approaching collecting, investing, grading, and building collections differently than previous generations? Joining us is special guest David Novak (@Upstate_Sports_Cards), bringing his perspective on today's hobby, collecting trends, and the decisions collectors face every day. We'll also share the latest updates on Enter the Inferno, the live entrepreneurial pitch competition coming to the National Sports Collectors Convention this summer. As always, we'll cover hobby news, market observations, audience comments, and wherever the conversation takes us. 📍 Featured Guest: David Novak (Upstate Sports Cards) 🔥 Enter the Inferno Applications are now open for hobby entrepreneurs looking to pitch their ideas live on the National stage.
