The countdown to Fanatics Fest is on with less than a week to go!
So to prep for it, we invited our podcast friend Darrell (aka DC) to come on the show to talk about what he’s doing to prepare as he’ll be setting up at the show.
We also discuss expectations for this second Fanatics Fest in New York City and how crazy it might become especially with Fanatics Games taking place with millions of dollars worth in prizes.
And if you want DC’s explanation of how Fanatics Fest is different than the National which will be coming up in August, here it is in this IG reel.
But switching gears a little, in a more recent episode of Cards To The Moon, we do a deeper dive into some of the recent partnership announcements in the hobby that seem to be taking place more often these days.
Walmart and We The Hobby getting into breaking together? PSA and Burbank Cards teaming up?
What’s next? Here’s that episode below.
Alright, one more thing before we go on to our next segment. Who’s at fault here?
If you read the comments, there are a lot of people who blame the seller/shipper. And some of course blame USPS.
What’s your call?
