About This Podcast

Like you, I'm a collector of sports cards. But sometimes I struggle, maybe you know the feeling. Most Hall of Famers prior to 1981 only have one true rookie card. However, today’s modern-day pro-athlete may have 20-60 or more rookie cards attributed to them! Adding to this long list of available rookie cards are prospect cards, variant rookie cards, inserts, parallels, and second-year cards. So many brands and options, how will you know which ones are truly rookie cards? Right here! On this podcast, we will clarify a lot of today's confusion. Are you ready? Then let's do this!
