Episode 254 – New Year, New Collecting Goals & Early 2026 NBA Card Talk

Episode 254 is a New Year check-in that quickly turns into a wide-ranging hobby and NBA discussion.

The episode opens with reflections on the start of 2026 and how collectors are thinking about the year ahead, before moving into current NBA storylines that are already shaping card conversations. Trae Young’s situation and on-court narrative are discussed in the context of perception versus production, and how quickly hobby sentiment can shift.

From there, the conversation turns to LeBron, including recent moments and highlights that have reignited attention around his cards, legacy, and how late-career performances still influence market behaviour. The discussion touches on how these moments are received differently by long-term collectors versus short-term flippers.

The episode closes with broader hobby observations around patience, narrative cycles, and how collectors can avoid overreacting to short-term noise as the year gets underway.

I actually just really need to sort my stuff out. Like i need to figure out ah how to categorize stuff. Like I actually need to categorize my cards. I've actually like, look, not to not to cross over a lot to to one of our sponsors, but I am ah considering moving a bunch of my cards over to ComCA.

Adz
So with Ross, so. Yeah, so I'm just trying to figure out what I'm moving, where I'm moving it. um i'm I'm not the most time-rich person on the planet, so feel like a consignment service of sorts would be ah good idea.

00:07:21.14
Adz
Yeah, in some capacity. Yeah.

00:07:31.93

Adz
yeah yeah yeahp

00:09:15.00
Adz
Okay. yeah

00:09:43.03
Adz
Yeah. Interesting.

00:10:08.09
Adz
Yeah. Who's next? Mel Safkus. build um ah Build on my WNBA PC collection and stick with my PC teams for m NBA breaks to guarantee the joy instead of flipping.

00:10:23.67
Adz
I like that. I like that. Like focusing on what you want to do rather than flipping to not do something. Yeah, I like it.

00:11:01.89
Adz
Just trusting in the tarot cards. Oh, boy. what What could go wrong? ah

00:11:12.06
Adz
Yes. Have we got Ryan Miller? ah Is it? I've got by most relevant. Hang on. I'll go all comments. Was he first? No. Damo Winterbon.

00:11:23.77
Adz
Stop wasting money on cards. Question mark.

00:11:37.66
Adz
That might actually be the solution is you might need to take a little bit of a break.

00:11:50.35
Adz
True, very true.

00:12:15.06
Adz
Yep. I

00:12:40.15
Adz
can

00:12:56.15
Adz
you think Do you think he's angling for a new contract? but

00:13:14.55
Adz
Yeah, no. Yeah, no. No, no.

00:13:19.13
Adz
No, we're getting, let's move off topic. Nathan Lee Thomas, I ticked my last New Year's resolution off to get a Shaq Miami unote Uni Auto. So this year, he wants to get a nice D-Wade Auto. That's awesome. That's a good goal. I like that.

00:13:36.12
Adz
Nice and simple.

00:13:51.03
Adz
It was funny because I was reading the the replies and I wanted to see if Oivind had actually just offered to buy them all off him, but no, he didn't. Who have we got? Dave Ellis. Take a leaf out of Oivind's book and get back into collecting sets.

00:14:07.29
Adz
I like it. The guru. Yeah.

00:14:14.62
Adz
Yeah.

00:14:22.74
Adz
Yeah, nice.

00:14:31.00
Adz
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

00:14:38.23
Adz
Okay.

00:14:55.35
Adz
Did you call him West Brick then?

00:15:04.75
Adz
Oopsie. He missed. and Unlike Russell Westbrook.

00:15:11.51
Adz
Ryan Miller. I'm not, ah I'm going to consolidate some of my stuff. Things I like, ah things like I don't need 20 Dwight Powell autos. They're good.

00:15:23.67
Adz
Going to sell except my favorite one or two. and maybe maybe Maybe seven or eight. One for two for each player just in terms of memorabilia auto, mem and auto. Yeah, that makes that makes sense. And then look to upgrade each one.

00:15:36.57
Adz
Still chasing an auto and mem as of of as many Mavs players as I can. just yeah okay, just in a bit more concise fashion. So he's not just buying everything. He's targeting his Mavs players ah strategically.

00:15:54.94
Adz
I like that. Yeah.

00:16:28.56
Adz
Yeah.

00:16:45.98
Adz
yeah

00:16:48.63
Adz
Yeah. And last of the Facebook ones, Corey Gilbert. Really, really methodical here. Finishing all the sets I started last year before starting more.

00:17:04.46
Adz
that's that's that's That's good. de thatds That's taking on some of your previous advice of having a plan when it comes to sets. There you go.

00:17:48.06
Adz
Agreed.

00:17:51.64
Adz
What have we got? Scotty James.

00:17:55.72
Adz
Definitely going to chase some more cheap insert sets like high voltage and ignition. I've also thought of chasing an auto from every Dream Team 92 member.

00:18:07.90
Adz
So that would be a FYI, Jordan autos are not cheap.

00:18:16.85
Adz
But yes, working towards that, yeah, they're definitely not getting cheaper. I reckon you'd start with with with MJ there for sure.

00:18:44.89
Adz
giddy up.

00:18:57.05
Adz
That was great.

00:19:09.21
Adz
Sensation.

00:20:00.28
Adz
I am good, I am good.

00:20:41.60
Adz
Yeah.

00:21:12.70
Adz
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:21:59.70
Adz
Yeah.

00:22:11.90
Adz
True. Well, it was interesting. it was just interesting that he he vocalized that he wanted to go to Washington.

00:22:20.98
Adz
Vocalized.

00:22:30.49
Adz
yeah yeah back back and forth

00:22:44.15
Adz
yeah but it was all it was very um It did. It happened very fast. And you can tell there's been a big buildup to this. Like in the background, I don't think Trey's been happy there for a while. And I don't know if Atlanta's been happy with Trey there for a while.

00:23:00.60
Adz
Because as soon as the trade was announced, he was he was on the Hawks bench, injured, and left the game at halftime when he found out the trade had gone through. It was like, oh it's done. See ya.

00:23:16.21
Adz
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:20.25
Adz
I wouldn't stick around, but it was...

00:23:31.45
Adz
Surely your seat's covered for the entirety of the game, even if you get traded.

00:23:39.87
Adz
Ooh.

00:23:42.84
Adz
could be This could be a, well, it's not really, can no not neither team win the trade? I think Atlanta wins on the fact that they've cleared Trey off.

00:24:02.33
Adz
Okay.

00:24:36.22
Adz
Yeah, they've been terrible. Yeah. oh that's interesting. Yeah. All right.

00:25:48.38
Adz
The only way is up, literally the only way is up for the Wizards. Like they can't lose on this trade.

00:26:03.61
Adz
But that's the thing, like it's not... no

00:26:12.34
Adz
But maybe they will play Trae Young because his record when he was ah in the Hawks lineup was terrible. but Maybe putting him in to guarantee at a high pick, whatever.

00:26:25.69
Adz
Fair. you Fair. it's um I think the Hawks stuff is is probably more interesting. They wanted to get the flexibility in the cap. with young offer and let's be fair, maybe McCollum gets moved on.

00:26:38.58
Adz
The first rumor I heard is the reason they didn't give up picks and didn't, and we're so quick to move it is because they have a second deal lined up for for dealing Dallas, dealing with Dallas and getting Anthony Davis.

00:27:02.14
Adz
don know I don't know. know Nico Harrison doesn't work there anymore, but Dallas could make another bad trade with Atlanta. Warzing is back to Dallas. There we go.

00:27:38.02
Adz
I'd say going back down, I think the the the up is just an uptick of people acquiring at a really cheap price. Because you can say he's he's up a percentage.

00:27:51.29
Adz
do we want to what does that What does that look like in dollar in dollar values?

00:28:16.62
Adz
Two-year figures. oh no, actually, no. Two years is only down 5%. But is he hes plummeted. Yeah, all time is probably where you need to look. but You've seen it plummet down from the $3.5K. Even after the sort of 2022, it did take a little while to drop down.

00:28:37.48
Adz
2023, you could still pick him up for $300 or $400. Or or $400.

00:28:50.17
Adz
but It's all about timing. It's timing. It's like, right, so if we're looking at the three and a half grand, you've done your dough, right? But if you jumped in in the last couple of years where it was in or around the 130 150 mark, that's, that's remember when we talk about Zion, that's about when you buy them.

00:29:11.96
Adz
Like you buy Jar Morant now versus versus Jar and Zion hype phase, right? It's very different. So i don't know, maybe maybe Trey does get a bit of a second lease on life and goes up to, I don't know, 200 bucks by by performing well in Washington next year or this year.

00:29:30.83
Adz
Yeah.

00:29:45.34
Adz
Mm-hmm.

00:29:51.58
Adz
Yeah.

00:30:17.17
Adz
Mm-mm-mm.

00:31:00.83
Adz
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the time to move on it, right?

00:31:23.47
Adz
Yeah.

00:31:32.57
Adz
Yeah.

00:31:51.14
Adz
It's his second year, isn't it?

00:32:07.00
Adz
i i i don't I don't turn my back on a a top a a lottery pick ah in the first three years. Give him a chance.

00:32:18.26
Adz
um not i'm not i'm i'm not i'm not I'm not pulling the rug out and saying, I'm not picking my bat and ball and going, I'm done. I don't want it anything to do with him. I think though they take different players take different times to find their feet in the league. And I think Cade showed that obviously injury impacted, but...

00:32:38.39
Adz
I don't know. I don't – and I think Paolo might have been written off too early, but this is where he should – Paolo's the one that should be copping it big is because of the – this is his year to break out. But year two for Rishishay, he's playing on a pretty ordinary team in Atlanta.

00:32:54.58
Adz
Let's not. Let's not put the expectation of the world on his shoulders. He hasn't been given the keys to the city kind of thing. He hasn't been given the mantle like Wemby has, like Cooper Flagg had.

00:33:09.05
Adz
Like it wasn't now your job is to save us. There wasn't any press that this man has come to save us. It's like, oh, great, Atlanta scored the number one pick. it's ah It's a different narrative. And it's like maybe this guy will just, he'll discover the American game.

00:33:24.26
Adz
He'll play. He'll get in. It's dope.

00:33:39.54
Adz
Fair, fair.

00:33:56.82
Adz
Okay, so they do want to suck this year. So they should get Trey on the court as quick as possible.

00:34:05.75
Adz
Look, this is probably, it's good to see there's finally been a trade this year because it's with the the change in the, the um I don't know, with the aprons and and all the salary cap stuff, there's but I think teams are not figuring out how to how to utilize things, and there's been a bit of quiet on the trade front. So to see a trade actually get done is good. For me, it's so it feels like a nothing trade at this point.

00:34:31.51
Adz
Time will tell, but I don't think this moves the needle on the league.

00:34:40.88
Adz
Agreed.

00:34:45.80
Adz
That shows where this sits on the, like it could be a, you know how they say when you put in the trade machine, it thinks how many, the plus minus, how many wins the teams will gain. I don't think that it moves.

00:35:00.20
Adz
I don't think it moves.

00:35:16.69
Adz
i' i've I've had, look, I love the water pistols. they They refill, but they're loud. So it's hard to be a sniper up on the balcony.

00:35:27.48
Adz
um I'm trying, yay yeah, yeah.

00:35:33.50
Adz
No, exactly. If you're running around shooting water pistols, that's fine. But if you're trying to be a sniper from a balcony to hit people walking along the promenade, then probably don't do that.

00:36:27.51
Adz
Nice.

00:36:39.64
Adz
um um um I'm gonna, um that's once I've sorted my stuff out, oh I'll be on it too, yeah.

00:36:50.46
Adz
We're good, we're good. we We're trucking on through. This is like, this is I thought this is going to be a very long episode this year to start the start the year off with a bang.

00:37:05.78
Adz
Punctuality is important.

00:37:20.41
Adz
Yeah.

00:37:44.60
Adz
Yeah, it'd be cooked. Yeah, cooked ya be stuffed.

00:37:54.14
Adz
True, true.

00:38:20.40
Adz
Okay. Mm-hmm.

00:38:56.34
Adz
Yes, fair.

00:39:02.36
Adz
ah Look, I funnily enough. um I covered this on on another podcast, which I do with my friends, Andrew and Daniel real guys talking ball gives them a bit of a shout out.

00:39:17.91
Adz
ah I think we all know my views on regulation of the hobby and it doesn't change much with the league. Rules are rules. If they set a line of 65 games, regardless of the intent of the rule, rules are rules.

00:39:34.30
Adz
Play 65 games, you're in contention. Play 64 games, too bad, so sad. You're not eligible. And it's not that we know it's not the intent of the rule. but This was to stop load management nonsense, people paying tickets. and yeah like it's I understand that and this is a ah legitimate injury.

00:39:56.02
Adz
And ah think we need to wind it back a little bit to the point where the actual thing that they're all striving for is a championship, not an MVP trophy. The championship is the goal. So if Jokic being out a little bit longer to be healthy to win a chip,

00:40:17.70
Adz
100%, 100%. going to be annoyed about it.

00:40:22.74
Adz
Maybe, just maybe, he will we'll we'll see how important this is to him, won't we? When it gets closer to that, oh, by the way, hit this is D-Day for you won't be eligible for MVP.

00:40:39.70
Adz
when we get to that line, if Jokic miraculously comes back early, we will know Jokic cares. And if he doesn't give us stuff, he'd be like, whatever. Deeply. I think he i think he is the competitiveness in him. i think I think the fact that SGA and Joel Embiid have two of his and MVP trophies has put a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

00:41:06.49
Adz
For sure.

00:41:09.30
Adz
Anyway,

00:41:13.02
Adz
Russell Gibson.

00:41:24.29
Adz
a long time ago.

00:41:50.07
Adz
yeah you've you've You've thrown me.

00:42:09.97
Adz
Where's the... Should I know this player?

00:42:20.48
Adz
I, first, as soon as you said 16, 17, I went to DeJounte Murray and then you went power forward and I'm like, I'm way off here.

00:42:33.51
Adz
Darvis Bertans.

00:42:42.20
Adz
Yeah. Great. Oh, I was like, my brain's just like, nah, nah, nah, not on the spot. Yep.

00:43:37.24
Adz
Oh, wow.

00:43:55.75
Adz
Mm-hmm. Yep.

00:44:09.12
Adz
Mm-mm-mm.

00:44:38.90
Adz
Interesting. i know that I know there's some other movement on other players. Shaq's starting to tit trickle up. Kobe, by the way, in two weeks, sorry, ten kobe Kobe's going to see another spike in a week and a half because you know this year is the 20th anniversary of the 81-point game.

00:45:25.10
Adz
Yeah.

00:45:50.42
Adz
yeah

00:46:02.87
Adz
Agreed. Wait, we'll see if the Wondershine crew get ahold of it.

00:46:11.83
Adz
Yeah. Sorry. i'm I, I, I went to the, cause obviously I, I, I was sharing the image, uh, the, the YouTube guys. I took the image off so I could go and read the comments.

00:46:28.22
Adz
There are a lot of people that don't think this is happening anytime soon.

00:46:40.69
Adz
That's true.

00:46:49.69
Adz
Yeah. It's very, it's very interesting that they're, they're actually being more critical of the, the comparison to PMGs, but

00:47:02.97
Adz
yeah.

00:47:07.38
Adz
Yeah.

00:47:12.92
Adz
Yeah, it's all relative though. You've got to be interesting to see what where the future of that leads.

00:47:22.20
Adz
Time will tell. Could be 1.5 million in 20 years.

00:47:32.60
Adz
Probably take the one off. Half a million dollar card.

00:47:41.27
Adz
No, no, no, take the one off, make 500,000. I think, yeah, yeah, half a mil. Like, that's ah that's overpaying for it, but that's with the view that in 20 years, it'll be worth 1.5 mil. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

00:47:53.91
Adz
yeah

00:48:09.02
Adz
oh

00:48:12.95
Adz
Yeah, for sure.

00:48:21.23
Adz
As part your submission, put a put a who am i um NBA in try and confuse Russell. If he's genuinely confused and thinks it'll confuse me more, you're probably in.

00:49:09.62
Adz
Um, if Kylo, if Kylo Ren played basketball,

00:49:23.38
Adz
he needs a knee, he needs a knee brace or something.

00:49:27.80
Adz
Yeah, mate. Cigarette. yeahigy Yeah. Siggy. Yeah.

00:49:34.78
Adz
Um, I, I was like, this looked like one of those, you know, when we were at the national and they had the um custom card thing for your kids and your sports clubs.

00:49:48.57
Adz
I thought that's what this was anyway. No, no, no genuine card has been that crazy.

00:50:05.46
Adz
I don't know. Yeah, true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. No, but I like those cool tidbit cards, right?

00:50:18.65
Adz
You know, there's a Jordan with them in the background as well.

00:50:23.90
Adz
Anyway, not even It's the Jackson, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, true.

00:52:05.11
Adz
It's a very well-worded response.

00:52:08.50
Adz
Actually, I think there's nothing wrong with that at all. I think it's very professional of TAG to take action, acknowledge that it's the community that brought it to their attention, also acknowledge that the community have a role to play in this and that, yes, things do slip through the cracks and they appreciate it.

00:52:36.89
Adz
Hang on, why would you, what if someone submitted a fake card, why would you compensate them?

00:52:44.18
Adz
Why wouldn't you have them arrested for submitting a fake card trying to rip other people off? Do you know what I mean? Like you don't know if they're innocent or guilty, but you could strip them of the grade, you could strip it of if if it's certification. So, but that person could have with intent submitted a card for grading knowing it was fake.

00:53:11.78
Adz
Tag. Agreed, agreed, agreed. Yep.

00:53:38.39
Adz
Yeah.

00:53:46.10
Adz
True, true. But it's like, but they've also deactivated the slab. So if anyone checks that slab, everyone knows it's a fake. um I think that's really good. On that though, like if there if if there is a guarantee for, if the card was sold that the person be compensated, I'm going to get...

00:54:05.21
Adz
So I'll go and get a fake card graded and then I'll sell it to you You complain about it being a fake and then take the ref refund from PSA or tag. We'll split the difference.

00:54:23.32
Adz
look Yes, i'm not I don't actually want to do that, but it's just like you can see where the the problem wise, right?

00:54:40.89
Adz
Correct. Yeah.

00:54:45.85
Adz
Yes. Yes. That exactly what happened. And before this railroads anymore, I get it. Yeah.

00:55:35.96
Adz
Yeah, yeah.

00:55:48.82
Adz
Yeah.

00:55:53.46
Adz
Yeah, fair.

00:56:14.78
Adz
Interesting. There is actually a story about Wondershine, how much he spent on cards.

00:56:42.52
Adz
But then we can figure out if they fit into the hundred million. Have spent that much? I think it's gotta be a hell of an exhibition. Yeah. a yep

00:57:09.78
Adz
It's a reasonable price for it. um

00:57:14.78
Adz
I like it. I don't think it's a bad it's a bad price. um Yeah, i'm I'm very indifferent to Melo. And I think this really demonstrates the importance of winning. Do you know what i mean? Like, this is the guy that's got no MVPs, no MVPs, no championships.

00:57:37.14
Adz
Do you know what mean? Like, he's sort of missing the key the key things that sort of elevate your status. And I mean, if it was a hoodie mellow logo, man, one of one, maybe.

00:57:53.02
Adz
Remember hoodie mellow in Poland? Yeah. Yeah.

00:58:08.20
Adz
The Joker one.

00:58:12.09
Adz
Yeah.

00:58:34.29
Adz
should probably get Tyson back on the show. It'd be nice to have a chat, another chat with Tyson.

00:58:54.62
Adz
Yeah.

00:59:06.26
Adz
To be fair, wherever he does land, wherever he does land, he's got a land on his head. So he wakes up to himself.

00:59:13.90
Adz
Honestly.

00:59:19.48
Adz
Yeah, true.

00:59:26.14
Adz
Mm hmm.

00:59:53.75
Adz
I think the Boston thing makes a lot of sense. I think Miami might also makes sense. I think Miami or will probably has been the one, they've got the pieces to do it easily. um

01:00:10.78
Adz
no there's no there's No, there's no benefit to be gained from the other from the other party there, I don't think. So I don't think the Bucks can really... They're not going to give up Giannis for it and they don't have enough other stuff to to to trade.

01:00:27.80
Adz
So i think Miami's the call. I think Miami's the call. um mean, Atlanta... or No, we're not going to joke about going to trade Trey Young out of ah at Atlanta and then bring Jar in. That'd be funny.

01:00:44.41
Adz
But yeah, like I don't see, yeah. yeah Yeah, true. But I just, yeah, look, Miami's probably going to be a good home for him. Now, the other part of that is they're also open. the the The Grizzlies are also open to retooling with him in the roster. So they're not going to just jump at the first thing that,

01:01:05.08
Adz
that looks at them so i think miami packaging in real deal for him might be interesting but i also think that unless it's a decent deal they're not ah they're not going to buy it who do you think goes if it's miami is it wiggins

01:01:23.16
Adz
yeah am picks

01:01:39.35
Adz
Yeah.

01:01:43.75
Adz
Yeah. They're rebuilding. Yeah.

01:01:50.34
Adz
They become OKC again. Yeah. They become it. that Yeah. They become another OKC with a but bunch of stuff in the bank and then build through

01:02:01.22
Adz
it. Yeah. I know.

01:02:04.31
Adz
be

01:02:31.93
Adz
Yeah. Yeah. True.

01:02:40.16
Adz
I'll put to that. Yeah. True.

01:02:47.05
Adz
Hmm.

01:03:14.66
Adz
It's good looking card too.

01:03:18.93
Adz
I like it.

01:03:21.98
Adz
Yeah. Yeah.

01:03:36.60
Adz
Do we though?

01:03:50.28
Adz
It's just getting silly. It's just, um, yeah.

01:04:00.28
Adz
I, I even chuckled. Yeah. I feel. Yeah.

01:04:07.03
Adz
Color match.

01:04:12.58
Adz
Luca went full color match. Never go full color match. Oh God.

01:04:25.02
Adz
Exactly right.

01:04:37.02
Adz
Just 15 K.

01:04:52.19
Adz
change the rules and you'll become useless.

01:05:08.25
Adz
Although we can probably talk about it because we didn't talk about it directly whilst we were on on break. It doesn't look like the Oklahoma City Thunder are the invincible team of the league.

01:05:20.50
Adz
Have you seen what the San Antonio Spurs have done to them in Oklahoma, in San Antonio, and in Vegas? We have found their kryptonite.

01:05:46.07
Adz
You know, three of those seven, three of those seven come to the Spurs.

01:06:08.55
Adz
What about 11 losses? is that is that Is that close enough? Because that's how many the Spurs have got in 27 and 11. The Wemby era is here. He's an alien.

01:06:23.13
Adz
The man is an alien. And De'Aaron Fox is good, as is Castle, as is Harper.

01:06:32.57
Adz
I prefer Castle, but this isn't a competition. Go Spurs, go.

01:06:41.66
Adz
I mean, anyway.

01:06:45.46
Adz
Welcome back. well Welcome back to 2026. We're here. Yeah,

01:06:55.99
Adz
yeah there's ah there's a lot lots to talk about. This is good. This is good.

01:07:03.78
Adz
We'll see you next week.
