      Hi there. Off topic. Anyone have any legit contacts with Card Hobby from China. This Chinese company is honestly holding 20k USD worrth of my purchases hostage. DM's and emails to prove. If anyone has any contacts with this company it'd be greatly appreciated. They were at the Dallas card show this past weekend and will be at the National.

    Ichiro was one of my favorite baseball players as a kid. Loved watching him in his prime. It's exciting times what Ohtani has been doing past few years, and what it means for the sport. Really cool that's leading to a new generation of collectors in Japan. Great video. Thanks for the tour, Geoff

    Hey Geoff! Your video gave me goosebumps. You may have noticed the gentleman said Version 1 BBM is the most prized set in Japan. There’s a group of us that have been collecting Shohei’s 2013 BBM 183 Version 1 and their parallels for a while now. All of the BBM are low print run (consensus 10,000 base), only about 12 different sets, but BBM is the premier manufacturer in Japan. They do all of the signings for the players. The 183 Version 1 Gem 10 was selling for $500 six months ago. $2900 sale yesterday. Most people are asleep at the wheel still on these though. Given the limited supply versus 2018, these are indeed rare treasures. To get a parallel 183 Gold, Holo, or Red. So rare!

But let's be honest, the hobby doesn't need videos about what to buy (which always tanks and inflates prices), and I just don't appreciate the hobby I've loved for 30 plus years being flooded with people profiting off for basically doing nil and being rewarded for it while at the same time contributing to the ridiculous prices that have occurred.
