Just 7 Days Away From the National Q&A | Card Talk

The boys are back with just a week to go before we're in Chicago for the National! 

On this episode, we go heavy with National related Q&A from our followers... but first, Carlos Alcaraz took down Novak Djokovic in an epic Wimbledon finals match and Tyler couldn't be more upset that he never transacted on a single NetPro Alcaraz card despite shouting out to anybody who would listed what a great buy those would be. 

Also... Fanatics announced their latest venture "Fanatics Events" this week... but is another events company putting on card & memorabilia shows good for the hobby? Kith announced a sneaker collab with Marvel and PSA that highlights collectibles, obviously Tyler and Lou want a pair! The Barbie Movie is out, but Lou's wondering why no major juice in the Barbie collectibles market? 

Tune in for all of that PLUS Play of the Week is BACK!! (and you might be surprised when you see which sport was featured on the winning play)

Q&A

22:59 - Card markets are starting to pop off in Europe. Do you ever think a European show will match the National?

29:56 - Who is the current best buy at the National in the NBA

35:30 - For the first time attending collectors, what's the best approach? As far as where do you recommend starting? I know there's exclusives and lines so just wondering how each of you go about it. 

41:55 - What do each of you find to be the most overrated and underrated thing(s) about the National? (does it irk you as much as it irks me when people call it the Nationals?)

47:47 - I’m traveling over from Sweden to my first National and looking forward to the experience. But my question is, I’m there to try to sell a high end card (Othani Red refractor RC auto). Do you have any advice on what is the best way to do that?
