Ryan’s Card Luck Is Getting Ridiculous: Crazy autos, Low Numbers, and PSA Grades
Description
Ryan Alford and Bella Shafer are back with a packed Collector Nation weekly episode covering their first PSA submission, recent monster pulls, and everything happening before The National. They review grades and values for cards featuring LeBron James, Caleb Williams, Tetairoa McMillan, Damian Lillard, and Pokémon.
The conversation also covers a Travis Hunter one-of-one valued around $3,000 that was pulled from a box purchased at Collector Station. Ryan shares several cards he may bring to The National, including a Cooper Flagg parallel, an Atlanta Falcons triple auto, Ashton Jeanty, Jalen Milroe, Justin Jefferson, Julian Sayin, and a rare Bo Jackson variation.
Ryan and Bella discuss Fanatics Fest, Victor Wembanyama’s contract, NBA Summer League, Shohei Ohtani’s record card sale, and whether hobby boxes now offer a better experience than retail products. They close with National preparation, listener giveaways, and an invitation for hobby creators to join the upcoming Collector Nation platform.
