Episode Description from the Publisher

A set comes out. For a week, it’s all the hobby talks about. Months later, someone is looking for the card that finishes their rainbow. Who’s making something for that collector?On this flagship episode of Stacking Slabs, I talk about what gives collectors a reason to come back. I share what I saw when nearly 400 people came to the Wrestling Card Takeover at the National, why I want to hear what a collector sold to buy a Priest Holmes Superfractor, and what happens when a friend sends you a card you didn’t know existed.It’s a conversation about why I’m building shows around the cards you collect and what that’s taught me about growth in the hobby.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
