No matter how you slice it- this was a good weekend for the hobby!

Yes- my DMs had some passionate arguments being made- but NO- I didn't block any of them. How do you learn and grow if you don't listen to other people's opinion.

Is it ever ok to pump? Is Manipulation a good thing?

What is it about the hobby that you love? What brought you here? What keeps you here? Maybe we need to focus more on that

Lets talk about the Jordan Star 101!

A New York show with some fun characters and a situation that needed to be "mediated". What side are you on?

Topps Chrome is trash Jordan prices may be going up- but so is everything else.

Did East Coast National and Fan Fest have to be the same weekend? Can Fanatics roll out the same type of firepower in future events?

I went to East Coast National and to Fanatics Fest. I had fun at both- lets talk about the shows.

Some good- some bad. All Hobby!

Topps Chrome is trash. Am I wrong?

It is that time of year again! Time to sell! Who am I talking about? Someone I don't love... not at these prices. Not after the run up he has seen.

National is over and Fan Fest is right in front of us. Today had me asking why can't we cheer for both of them to be successful? After all, a successful Fan Fest is good for the hobby.

So you aren't going? that's ok.. buy a card!So you are there? make some content for the folks who are missing out

No Koufax? No Griffey? My Hobby Box opening with my son was an eye opener. He shocked me with his comments after our opening. Do I have to change how I hobby?

We talk about the Dallas Theft, and how it should impact what you do for Cleveland. We also talk about what Fanatics should do for Fanatics Fest.

Lets talk about the National- and why I am not going.

Is there a backlog at PSA? Is a PSA 10 now better than a BGS 10? Lets chat about this an more on today's episode.

The hobby is changing. To stay here... do I have to change as well?

I love what the MLB did with the record books to be more inclusive...but why stop there?

So much going on in the hobby- and so much to talk about. Remember.. just because they call it "reality" TV doesn't mean is actually what really happens in reality. Same for IG- the Hobby portrayed on the Gram is not the real hobby. Or is it?

Is there another flat period coming - just like the one we saw from 2008-2015? If there is- will you be here to see it through?

Do your thing. Buy what you want. Make the content you want and don't let anyone tell you what to do.

The whole thing can come crashing down! AND... stay until the end for a Cage Rant!

There is room in the hobby for everyone- even people who don't hobby the same way you do.

I have a flow chart somewhere... where do you fit in? Or do you even fit at all in this new hobby landscape?

Andrew is Back!

The Industry summit had some major announcements- but are they a good thing for the Hobby?

Soaking cards, faking cards, signing Tim Allen's name instead of Tom Brady's? What if we cared less about that...and more about the cards?

So many people unfollowed me- but I am just trying to help!

Its Jackie Robinson Day. A quick Story and then a tale from the weekend that has me thinking about where to put my hobby money.

Behind the cardbaord- there are business moves being made. Lets discuss the Fanatics Fan Fest and the Ebay/Goldin news

I am excited about all of the sports events going on right now.. but scared about what is going on in the hobby!

So much great feedback- So many thing going on in the hobby and a fun rip with my son!

You wanted more positivity... I give you this!

Part 2 from Cage the Curmudgeon!!Lets fix this thing together!

Sell!!! I am! Not everything.. but a lot!

Lets talk about card Restoration and what it means for the hobby.

Are you in the right Hobby Universe or did you take a wrong turn too?

Yup... I said it. You LCS will soon be closed. Find out why

You don't have to spend $2200 on a box of Prizm FOTL to have some fun. In fact- you will likely have more fun if you DON'T!

Don't let the title fool you- This is a fun one with lots of hobby positivity... if that's your thing!

Happy Valentine's Day

How great is Mahomes? is he better than... Troy Aikman?

Stocks are running- can we take anything from the markets and apply it to the hobby?

Lets talk breaking with Valor Sportscards! Its the Come up with Cage!

Shows- stores- new contracts and new cards... there is so much going on in the hobby!

I Hate Mahomes- But I also hated Jordan and Brady.. until I didn't.

You know it... even if you don't want to admit it.Mahomes is Overrated.

Enjoy the good people you meet along the way. Friends we had- friends we lost. But- in the hobby future- it is important to not forget the past. Slow and Steady wins the race.
