PackGeek ep #127 | The Amazing Value in PSA & BGS 9s| w/ Mike Moynihan Host of Baseball Collector

Everytime I think about this it blows my mind. You’ll see it often on eBay – a raw copy of a card goes for more than the same card graded a BGS or PSA 9. There are so many examples of this! I’m here to tell you to buy the 9! Mike Moynihan, host of Baseball Collector, jumps on board to discuss this phenomenon.

PackGeek ep #125 | 2008-09 Topps Chrome Basketball Hobby Box | Monster Kobe Refractor HIT

It has taken ALL of my willpower not to open this box before now. It’s been sitting in a closet, it survived our recent move, and now it’s finally time to see what the contents are. I don’t think I’m the only person that imagines one of the biggest hits in the release being in their unopened pack, box or case. But something told me that I needed to hang on to this one, and open it on the show. I’m glad I did.

PackGeek ep #121 | Hobby Shop Profile w/ Mike Becker of Playball Sports Cards in Arlington, TX

As a kid, I dreamed of trips to the card shop. During the school year, I was lucky to make it there once a week. While my memories will always be fond of the card shops of my youth, they pale in comparison to Playball Sports Cards in Arlington, TX. Veteran hobby shop owner, Mike Becker, has created a sports card mecca with his nearly 6,000 square foot hobby paradise – just a stone’s throw from the Rangers’ Ballpark and the Cowboys’ Stadium.

We didn’t hit the Canseco rookie card last time she was on the show, so I brought Mrs PackGeek back on to finish the box we had begun! We discuss mustaches, barbies and keeping movers away from your wife.
