The Financialization of Sports Cards (Chris HOJ-Cast #39)

This episode has four segments. First, a few select stories from walking the floor at the 2026 National. Second, the rising market for commemorative 1/1 cards—with specific examples from Ohtani, Brady, and McGwire. Third, a recent pickup: the 1998 Topps Gold Label Class 3 Red 1/1 of Peyton Manning. And fourth, a conceptual framework for understanding the financialization of sports cards.
