In this episode of Smashing BIN, Matthew (@1956toppsguy) joins the show to share the story behind a BIN smash that still gives him goosebumps. It’s a 1956 Topps Ernie Banks with an in-person autograph and “Let’s Play Two” inscription—one of the most personally significant cards in his collection.

We explore what makes 1956 Topps such a magical set, the emotional pull behind card buying decisions, and how collectors make sense of rarity, condition, and significance. Matthew also breaks down the psychology of BIN smashing with his own system: Steal, Grail, and Eureka.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever seen a card and felt the clock start ticking.
