In this episode of Card Ladder Confidential, Chris and Josh are back to talk cards, collecting strategies, and the psychology behind how we rank and value what we own. We start with a cold open—if your collection was a March Madness bracket, which card cuts down the nets?

We dive into:

How Card Ladder is improving price prediction with more accurate historical data
The fine line between educating vs. pumping on social media
Tech enhancements that improve collecting, like PSA to eBay flow and AI-powered search
Why Finals MVP matters more than you think
How sentiment and scarcity shape card markets over time
The froth monsters returning to the hobby
Using bounties to track down grail cards
The role gambling plays in shaping the public perception of the hobby

Plus: card pickups, collecting wide receivers, market movers, and a whole lot more. If you’re a collector who wants to sharpen your edge and stay grounded, this one's for you.
