August boxes shipping out this week.
First of all, I want to apologize for shipping August boxes so late. The challenges we have faced over the last few months have been severe. The lack of communication was mainly because I didn't have a lot of answers. We have been trying to solve problems while being met with more problems. The Panini/Fanatics war that made wax both scarce and more expensive did not help. We have gotten everything we need to complete the program. We are hoping to get those boxes out this Saturday.
It is with great sadness that I have to announce that we are suspending the P ..read more

Refocus. Get your priorities in order. Get back to the basics.
I wrote an article a couple weeks ago about Humility and Wisdom that had some of the lessons I learned over the last few months. One of the greatest catalysts to my growth came from one question. And it came at my absolute rock bottom. It was the first time I ever sought counseling. And it was the first question he asked me.
Before I get into the question he asked, I want to preface that I am not typing up this blog to preach at you. I understand that everyone has different experiences, different upbringings, different perspectives ..read more

More QBs from the 2022 class will be starting in Week 1 than from the highly touted 2021 class.
It seems like the 2022 class has been cast away by the hobby. I'll admit that I wasn't excited about this class pre-draft either. I was excited when Pickett went back to Pittsburgh but I really wasn't thrilled about any of the other placements. I was a big believer in Matt Corral and Bailey Zappe, but their opportunities seemed limited where they got drafted (Zappe might just be okay).
Only one QB was taken in the 1st round. None in the 2nd. However, these later round guys took full advantage of the ..read more

We want to build up those who support us. Respond to this email with a link to your YouTube channel!
YouTube was a huge factor in our product bursting to the top of the subscription box game back in 2018. Some of the bigger channels at that time were Timmy G, Jamin JD, and Packers Cards 87. While PC87 is still near the top of the charts with 97,000 subscribers, the other two have stopped creating content. Several other up and coming channels have either stopped creating content or gotten out of the hobby altogether. While some creators have dropped off, others have grown their channels to mass ..read more

I'm not just talking about the football that's going to be on TV!
I'm excited to get to 2023 NFL Luminance next week, but I'm also excited to get a quality basketball break in this week. With how watered down Prizm has been, I felt like Select was a quality product that rivals Prizm at a cheaper cost. I was able to get a solid deal on a few boxes so I'm hyped for this one.
If you don't have Facebook, we will accommodate - just respond to this email!
WE ALSO HAVE AUCTIONS ENDING THIS WEEK!
We are always running $4.99 auctions, but this week has some extra spice. We always combine shipping so t ..read more

NFL Preseason is here - there are several prospects worth watching.
I mentioned in my last article that there was literally a dozen QBs that I am watching this preseason - that was not really an exaggeration. Things could get wild. There are so many young QBs that are going to earn their way to QB2 honors, making them a play away from the spot light. 14 QBs were drafted in the 2023 NFL Draft. I truly believe this is the deepest QB class in NFL history. We saw the 10th QB drafted ball out in the Hall of Fame game. I love the position of the 9 before him and even a couple after. Again, things co ..read more

I've always looked at August as the January of the Card Year.
Football is our main sport. I can understand how other sports' investors could view the Card Year differently. But this time of year is like a new year for us. Football season is officially here! The NFL preseason has started, Friday Night Lights are just a week or two away, and College Football is just beyond that. NFL prospects are solidifying their place in camp while veterans are refining their franchises. Football investors have made their investment decisions, are buying their guys, and we are about to see if we are right!

This summer has come to an end, but the lessons learned will last a lifetime.
Wednesday was the first day of school for Truman and Roman. They each climbed on the bus without hesitation. Kayla and I walked back into an empty house and realized how much we can accomplish with the peace and quiet. However, the truth of how fast they are growing up sat heavy. Roman has started kindergarten. He has been my little buddy throughout all of my work-from-home lifestyle. Last year, he went to preschool from 8-12 and then I'd pick him up. I will have to wait for the bus to drop both boys off later in the ..read more

We build this for you - we can't wait to see what you rip from this month's lineup.
When I get to the spread sheets and start building lineups for the program, I start with the gold and core features, then I go to the Hit Percentage of the program. We always want to see hits come out of our gold boxes, and we want the rip session to have potential. We use Donruss on the low end because there is the potential of the Case Hits and Short Prints. We use other products with more hits to get the hit percentage up (like Illusions). Then we use Prizm as a chase - to give everyone a chance at ripping a ..read more
