What does it take to build one of the best player collections in the world?
Beau (@Roethlisbergercollector7) has been collecting Ben Roethlisberger cards since 2004, stacking some of the rarest and most sought-after pieces along the way. In this episode, we dive into what fuels his passion, how he tracks down key cards, and the evolution of his collection from mass accumulation to a focus on true scarcity.
We also get into:
- The challenges of collecting a player tied to a die-hard fanbase like the Steelers
- Navigating the underappreciation of 2000s-era football cards
- Hunting down elusive Gold Prizms and game-worn shields
- The mental battle of letting go of cards to fund bigger grails
- Advice for collectors looking to build a long-term, meaningful PC
If you’re a player collector or thinking about starting one, this episode is for you.
