Shedeur Sanders gets the start Sunday in New Orleans, with Deshaun Watson in the concussion protocol. He’s thrown three passes all season. Now he gets a full game. Is this the start that wakes up his cards, or should we sell into the hype? #sportscards #Browns

Shoutout to all the major secondary market retailers for jacking up the price of a 2026-27 Topps Basketball Hobby box so high, that it loses it's value. For the same price as one hobby box, you could buy 35 Fat Packs and get significantly more out of your rip. Something to think about. #basketballcards #thehobby

The 49ers are 6-1, and we all thought it'd be the Rams. Brock Purdy's a big reason why. His Silver Prizm PSA 10 is up 55% since the start of the season. Only one QB has better MVP odds right now. You probably know who. #sportscards #49ers

Topps Flagship Basketball is out today, and Topps has a release-day drop at 11:00 AM CT. Unless your LCS sells at retail, it's probably your last chance to snag a Hobby Box at a price that at least somewhat makes sense. Before you check out, here's what's in every box. #basketballcards #thehobby

Topps Flagship Basketball hits shelves tomorrow. The rookies look solid, but are they solid enough to justify the 50% markup Topps is selling hobby formats at this year? The secondary market prices are outrageous too. What's your game plan for this release? #basketballcards @CardPurchaser

Topps Basketball hits shelves tomorrow. Hobby, Jumbo, Blaster, Hanger, Fat Pack, and a Mega Box a week later. That’s a lot of ways to chase one rookie class. Our Wax Watch lands this morning. Which format are you buying first? #basketballcards #thehobby

William Contreras hit .381 and threw out four base stealers on the way to World Series MVP, and the hobby noticed. His 2021 Topps Chrome Rookie Auto is up 185% since the start of October. Check out other hobby news in this month's State of the Hobby #baseballcards #Brewers @CardPurchaser
