Fanatics has a lot of the most sought after autographs of the year on lock in Victor Wembanyma and CJ Stroud. One unintended consequence of this is that it has pushed up the values of leaf and wildcard autographs to levels we aren’t used to seeing.
Lemmie Get That Podagraph broke a story about Radiers draft pick QB Adian O’Connel tossing his cards from Immaculate in the trash. There is a lot of nuance to what might of happened there so check out their episode for the full story. We talk about it and how it relates to fanatics and do players care about the cards? With AJ Dillon putting knock knock jokes on his immaculate cards
Some of the biggest news in the hobby has been PSA’s rejection of the large signature of Anthony Richardson as seen here.
It’s drastically different from the image in his previous sheets of stickers as seen in this image.
We talk about what this could potentially mean for these cards and talk about an example here as shown by youtube user Michael Hamm and reposted by SCV Sports Cards where Richardson does sign in that format. There are significant differences in the signatures even still but we can’t know the circumstances behind the larger format and less organized signature.

Cards for sale! Chris brings out a nice Trea Turner autograph while retelling the story of his remarkable second half and a sweet Bo Bichette topps now autograph. Leighton has a 1933 Goudey Gaby Hartnett PSA 6 that is in rare form and a card that made us ask what the heck is a Zeenut anyway?
New releases are turbo charged this week with Prizm Basketball in the mix. Victor Wembanyama cards will be highly sought after and push demand but it will be drastically different from the Zion and Ja mania that we saw in 2019. This is the best Five Star Baseball release we have seen in years and Impeccable FB might be a high end value buy.
Leighton always manages to bring in cards with a story. Towards the end he shows a card of Ray Chapman, the first man ever to lose his life in a baseball incident.
