Card Talk

Nov 29 2023 68 mins 20

Ryan doesn't take many L's on Card Talk... so today is about to be a bit different.

It's been 3 weeks since we last recorded an episode. Since then, the Jets are in the midst of a complete free fall, Penn State lost to Michigan, and the Patriots have become a laughingstock.. but the 3rd Ohio State loss in a row to Michigan, in a game that Ryan claims is the "most important game of the year... even more so than a possible National Championship game... the one game he wants to win above all else!"

You hate to see these things. I hate to see these things. But Lou... he LOVES to see it and you can be sure he was ready for this week's "What's on your mind" segment.

In hobby news, Topps Chrome Update Debut Patches are absolutely on fire, highlighting a very good run of recent promotions for Topps that included Wemby's Bowman U Green "1st card I ever signed" inscription, the TacoFractors, a Babe Ruth / Ohtani dual auto card and the MVP Buyback program that sent collectors to their LCS for a little discounted holiday shopping!

Speaking of Wemby, his 1st ever game worn jersey (from the second half - he wore 2 that night) sold at auction for an eye popping $762,000, the most money ever paid for a rookie jersey. Should Panini or Fanatics have bought it and cut it up, creating the ultimate chase?

In other NBA news, LeBron's longevity is other worldly... the Orlando Magic are HOT... and Anthony Edwards is very cool.

Tune in for all of that, some Instagram Q&A and Play of the Week is back with SIX slides, including one follower that made a play on a Hall of Fame wide receiver!
