Paul
L - Eric on Instagram DM’d Paul about Skyler Thompson. This is Paul’s L of the week because Skyler isn’t a good play. The card would have to be incredibly rare and at a good price point.
W - Saw a post from Topps on Twitter, "Everyone holding a 2022-23 Bowman U Chrome Victor Wembanyama green parallel auto redemption /99 is invited to meet us in San Antonio, where one lucky collector will be chosen at random to win Wemby's iconic 1st Card I Ever Signed"
Buying - Arch Manning, Paul Skenes and Dylan Cruz. Buy auction only, not buy it now on the cards. Marvin Harrison jr. Anthony Edwards rookie kabooms.
Selling - Trey Lance. Brock Purdy. Sam Howell - Andy says hold and don’t sell.
Andy
L- Trey Lance because of the trade to the Dallas Cowboys. Andy is trying to get out now with the cards he has.
W- Rookie Premier Holo Cards, pro uniform rated rookie. Print run was 250-500, very rare cards.
Buying - Tua, Colt McCoy, Jahon Dotson.
Selling - Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, Aaron Rogers.
Lefty - Shohei Ohtani in the news. Tore his UCL four years after reconstruction surgery. Now is the time to buy his pitching cards.
W - Kendall is lowkey obsessed with looking for a particular card. Picked up 3 Carlos Alcaraz cards at $250 a piece. Also looking out for Ben Shelton and Jannik Sinner.
Buying - Lefty is buying MLB cards that are on the way up. Churio, Evan Carter, Spencer Jones.
Selling - Jaylon Hurts.
Dr. Chad Guell
L- Chad missed the show and tell show last week. Mike Trout and the Angels is an L of the week for him.
W - Delvin Cook signed with the Jets and the cards are up 20-30%. Made some profits and won strongly.
Buying - loves flipping where he can get in and out within 30 days. Trevor Lawrence, Jaylon Hurts. All cards Chad mentions are down several percentage points but now is the time to buy because they will come back up.
Selling - Ja Morant Young Dolph/Tuhey card. This card has had several hype cycles where it goes up and comes back down over the last 3 years. Chad will buy them back for pennies on the dollar.
