Is longevity overrated in football? In Episode 5, Pack Nicholson and Brett McGrath tackle this listener-submitted question from Andy (@byebyebabycards) and explore how short bursts of brilliance stack up against decades-long careers in the hobby. From Terrell Davis and Frank Gore to Barry Sanders, Andrew Luck, Deshaun Jackson, and Dante Hall, the conversation cuts deep into what actually drives collectability.

They also break down:

• The psychology of collecting short-career legends
• Bringing the right cards to The National
• A real-time Colts Prizm chase
• A shoutout to Philip Rivers’ legacy and love from the hobby
• Cards under $100 worth owning

If you’ve ever struggled with whether to chase stats, accolades, or moments that matter, this is your episode. And yes—there’s a Chad Johnson gold refractor sighting.
