In this debut episode of Smashing BIN, I sit down with Paul (@wardle_kombat) to break down one of the most legendary Buy It Now moments in recent collecting memory, his late-night Walmart parking lot pickup of a 2000 Bowman Gold Brady rookie /99.

We talk about:

What made him smash BIN without hesitation
How that one decision led to owning three copies
Why understanding rarity is more powerful than comp chasing
What that card allowed him to do years later (think vacations, a new house, and more)

Plus, we dig into three more recent BIN smashes:

Shohei Ohtani’s green refractor auto /99 for $24K
Aaron Judge’s Bowman Chrome auto selling $1.4K higher than an auction on the same day
A sleeper Roethlisberger Rookie Premiere auto /15 for $2,499

We wrap with the question every collector faces: when do you smash BIN, and when do you walk away?

This is a show about instincts, collector psychology, and the stories behind sales that don’t wait for the countdown.
