Chris (@cardicsportscards), creator of The Smarter Collector, joins Smashing BIN to talk about the card that’s been on his want list since 2017: the 2014 Bowman Chrome Mookie Betts Blue Refractor Autograph /150 (BGS 9.5/10).

We go deep on the moment he finally smashed BIN, how he funds high-end targets through collection curation, and why this blue parallel hits different than gold.

We also unpack collector psychology—why pairings matter, how to process former team players, and what it means to build a 100-Player PC with intention.

Plus:

• Why Mookie’s market stays slept on
• The true cost of chasing hype
• BIN smash breakdowns for Nomar, Moss, Ovi, and more

If you’ve ever stared at a card and wondered, “Do I really want this?”, this episode is for you.
