Pack and Brett go deep on one of the biggest debates in football and collecting: who deserves the card when collecting lanes collide?

They kick things off with a question on every fan’s mind—who’s QB5 in the NFL right now? The media may have already anointed Herbert, but the guys aren’t sold.

From there, they move into hobby territory, breaking down three core collecting lanes—player, team, and set—and how each one shapes the way we experience cards. You’ll hear stories about chasing Donald Brown, scoring a PSA 10 pop one Edgerrin James, and why jersey numbers might matter less than you think.


Other topics include:

  • Why player collector entitlement is real
  • Whether consolidation is collecting
  • Hobby beefs with Vanderjagt, Parkey, and Chris Conte
  • Santana Moss appreciation
  • A Revis Island card that proves PSA 10 game-used is still undervalued
  • Listener card callouts, including Aidan Hutchinson, Tom Landry, and Bruce Smith

This episode closes with a community challenge: show us your Hall of Very Good. No Hall of Famers allowed.
