On this week’s episode of In Cards We Trust, Neil and Justin dive headfirst into one of the hottest auction nights the hobby has ever seen. With major sales happening simultaneously on Alt, Fanatics Premier, and Goldin Elite, the guys break down the nuclear numbers and what they mean for the market.

🔥 Winners & Losers – Soccer cards lead the charge with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi rookies going stratospheric, while Kobe Bryant’s logo men dominate Fanatics. But not everything is hot—Babe Ruth vintage and Caitlin Clark cards show signs of cooling.

📈 Tier One vs. Tier Two – A candid debate on what makes a true “tier one” card, whether it’s population one grails of Mantle, Jordan, and Brady—or elite patches and one-of-ones in today’s market.

💡 Market Sentiment – From billionaire collectors buying for legacy to whales chasing high-grade slabs, Neil and Justin explore how FOMO, eye appeal, and registry culture are shaping where money flows.

🎴 Collector Insights – Favorite cards of the night, investment plays like Elly De La Cruz, and a reminder to tread carefully when “pop one” numbers can be misleading.
