On this week’s episode of Sports Cards Nonsense, Mike and Jesse are live from the main stage of the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago, also known as The National. They discuss the convention at large and how it measured up to their expectations in terms of crowds and card pricing. They then hit on some news stories from the week in sports, including the Russell Westbrook trade to the Lakers and the Max Scherzer trade to the Dodgers. Next, they bring on Peter Steinberg, President of SGC, to discuss the state of card grading in the card hobby today, what plans SGC has for the future, and how they view themselves as an alternative to PSA.

After years of collecting sports cards, Mike turned his passion into a hugely successful business. He gained a following in the breaking world and decided to parlay that into what has become the largest sports card podcast in the world! But his biggest fans are his wife and son.
Rejoining the hobby after decades away, Jesse left the corporate finance world after seeing how his former card-collecting pastime had become a booming marketplace that married nostalgia and art with the thrill of a treasure hunt! Sports Boi’s biggest supporters—Sam and Charlie!
