The Unfiltered Interview With Gary Vaynerchuk On Sports Cards; Plus His Plans On Making The Next Pokemon
Newest eBay X PSA partnership could have big implications for the hobby
Apologies for the missed newsletter last week, but sometimes the viral flu just doesn’t care.
Thankfully, health has been restored and so has another edition of the Cards To The Moon newsletter!
Now if you didn’t see the teaser in our last newsletter two weeks ago, we mentioned that we had a very special guest we had on our podcast. Well, the cat is out of the bag.
Gary Vaynerchuk, successful entrepreneur, New York Times best-selling author, creator of Veefriends, joined Cards To The Moon last week.
You can catch the full interview on YouTube below or check it out on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
We talked about his love for sports cards, what’s on his Mount Rushmore of cards, as well as what he thinks is extremely underrated in the hobby.
He’s also got his Topps Chrome Veefriends collaboration and release coming out on May 7th. And Gary is the first to admit the audacity he has to try to make Veefriends into the next Pokemon.
Now I did mention that we missed last week’s newsletter, which means we had another new podcast episode after the Gary V. interview.
Hyung and I talk about the newest eBay X PSA partnership, which could have big implications for the hobby.
Take a listen above and you tell us if you think buying raw cards off eBay and being able to ship to PSA directly with one click is a good idea or a bad one.
You can catch up with all our recent podcast episodes wherever you listen to your podcasts!

It’s pretty impressive whenever someone can complete a set these days…even if it’s just an insert set. If you’re a manga fan and a baseball one, you’ll appreciate what this one collector did.
Anyone catch the NFL Draft? Other than the news of where Shedeur Sanders got drafted, big kudos to Cam Ward whose #1 overall draft pick kind of got overshadowed. But thankfully, Topps is commemorating his moment with a special Topps Now card.
