Today's episode of Collector Nation, Ryan and I dive into the latest on the Lodax App, Collection Management 2.0, yes, it's coming, and it's on the Lodax App, coming of the next 30 days, we dove in, talk about all the newest features. Plus, we talked about Kevin O'Lear making a big splash again in the hobby, where in the card is the necklace, 19.5 mil folks, fun discussion around that. We dove in to the card show that we went to this weekend at Haywood Mall, all the highlights from that show, and again, all the latest, the greatest, the newest here on Collector Nation.

In business, you have competition, especially within the tech world, because tech is got to learn so much with these AI agents, so we have to separate yourself other ways. And this is one way is that if you could get the best inventory management system, and you have people's collections, you're going to win.

There's always something physical about the cards themselves, but it's maximizing the digital tools that we have.

It's really trading enablement, that's what this is, trading and collecting enablement.

The new term of the day for the hobby, it's collection enablement. Every other news outlet has a headlot, it says Kevin O'Lear turns heads by having that necklace, and it's about the necklace, but it's not. It's about playing brand, playing attention game. Welcome to the Collector Nation podcast here on the Collector Nation Network, whether you're chasing grails or calling gloves. Take you inside the hobby, here are your hosts, Ryan Offer and Brian Look.

What's up guys, welcome to Collector Nation, it's Friday, March 6, 2020, 26 here in the studios of Lovely Easily South Carolina and Chicago, Illinois.

Yeah, Brian Look and Ryan Offer'd always hear your humble servants in the hobby, here to bring you the latest news, the latest gossip, and you never know what else we might get into.

Other than being sunny in 78 here, Brian, what's the forecast in Chicago?

It's cloudy at 38 here, right? We got a little noise, so yes, so it's beautiful. Oh, man, I can't wait to get outside after this, but not there. No rubbing it in a little, but you know, that's why you live in South Carolina, you get this weather, you know, we don't have the hustle bustle of Chicago, there's a lot of some commerce going on, big business. Brian's running a big CEO company, I can't do that here, you know, but we do get the weather, that's the one thing we get here and easily.

That's the beautiful part of it on there.

I mean, I'm in your Lovely Collector Station studio, we'd love to have you in at some point. Our store is hustling and bustling. We welcome you if you ever hit the South Carolina area and you're listening, yeah, hey, it's a flagship store, you're going to stop in. It's like a, I've said this many times, but it's a man cave meets a card shop meets a studio. Many times, we're sitting here and talking to the celebrity, Ludden, and my customers walk in and they go, oh, Luddex, Lion Button.

No, but it all seems just, it's fun because it's right in the center of the store, so we'd love for you to stop in. And if we were to be recording, say hello to Brian, and of course, our Lovely producer, Bella, who is with us today. Hey, everyone. Hi, Bella. Bella should have your camera on for like that, you know, like she, we actually got your Bella. You know, we, we, we unbanished her from non-camera land, but, uh, no longer the basement girl.

Yeah, yeah, she's, she's an AI robot, so, you know, I've trained her pretty good, right, Brian?

What did you admit to me? She sounds like human, like she responds to anything you ask. Yeah, she seems great. I'll just take over the world real quick. Exactly. I think you guys may, I, this would be this kind of scary. It's good. Yeah, your stop is looking awesome, dude.

Thank you, brother. It's, uh, coming together is fun. Um, and it's been, have you spent great meeting people? Maybe we've had, we got regulars already, Brian, let me just say that. Like, the true junkies, we know, I'm one of 'em, so I mean, you know, I'm sitting here and dudes coming back. Yeah, we've been over like three weeks, and some guys have been here about five times.

You united in the chase, baby.

That's, that's what this industry's about, though.

You know, like, it's cool. It is cool.

And all serious, we'd welcome you here in South Carolina if you get through there.

Stop in, you'll see us and, uh, we'll say some cards, baby. We got a good selection. Actually, good stuff. I actually brought it to that end. I'm just going to bring you right up. You know, the show was this weekend. We did a show at Haywood Mall.

And bought a lot of cards and I'm in mind a lot of stuff this week. Got some cool stuff here. The show, hey, a tiny Ace's card. Do you see those? That Ace of Diamond, all Ace's tops. Yeah, right.

Fun card. Probably shouldn't have that one for grading. Got this flea net effect, Kobe. It's like a die cut. That's cool.

Yep. What year was that? 19. 90. 1994, maybe.

I don't know.

Cold years, this flea Kobe.

90, something. Men, 90's. Yeah. Yeah. Say hello to Cole if you come into the store, too. Cole manages the story here keeps me sane and does a great job. And one of the nicest guys in the hobby.

So, Julia serving Kaboom, that is a cool card. I like it. I like it. Brian is something pulled a bird in this Kaboom. And we got the Irving. I bought the Irving.

And we're not so, I'm not as lucky as them. So, I had to buy my singles. But that was a good pick up. And then Randy Moss. We were very serious all the time on the Kaboom.

So, had a good card show. Brian, I mean, we sold some stuff, man. But I was buying. That was buying, baby. Always be buying. ABB.

Well, yeah, I mean, that's how you make your money, right?

It's like, you got a buy.

You know where you're going to start.

You got to sell it at a counselor right around there. So, if I wanted to die in the light and shove my choppy Feyenoons business. And Knuck owns that's the card. With him, check out my devail file best in conversion. That's really good.

That check out my devail file best in conversion. The legendary checkout from Choppy Feyenoons for either the shop or designer website. This is in social media and UberIDOT's vision. And that's the music for your run.

Videos of the rest of the vendors made Choppy Feyenoons can step to a real hip-yard. Start it and test it for one of your promenades. Of Choppy Feyenoons.de/recorded. We buy matters.

It's interesting. The card show. Lots of deals being had. We're going to have some footage from that. We had Calon, our main guy. Filming everything.

Setting things up. Doing deals. We have a good footage of that. To check out the socials.

You know, we probably don't plug that enough.

Look, if you're not already. Go follow LUDX, LUDX. On the App Store. And of course in social media. If you just search LUDX, LUDX will come up.

In Instagram, Facebook, etc. Go follow Collector Nation, Collector Station. Either one of those. So give us some love there. And we'll have all the footage there.

And we're with some cool videos or some of the products. And we're things for LUDX. And lots of cross pollination here as we. You know, we're living and breathing this thing, baby. I got a card that was still interesting.

So some guy. You know, whoever. He came in to begin my house because I'm he my dad's friend. And he has his Tiger Woods card that I have no idea. I've never seen it.

Mike Baker is like, I don't think I've ever seen it. And it's a promo card from a Toronto show. So I'll show this like really quickly, but we'll get a better picture. Yes. Huh.

Okay. Who is that? Tiger. Oh yeah. Okay.

Never seen that. Okay. And then the back is like, it's out of 20. Who makes it? Some dude in his basement probably.

But I've paid $40 for it. And there was a letter that was like, listen, this is a promo from the 2000 expo. Toronto expo card show. It's called the Year of the Tiger. There were 500 printed like their 500 base.

And then this is a platinum of 20. And if you bought a base, you got a chance to open up a pack to see if you got this card in there. And this is a promo card called the Year of the Tiger. It's 2000. And I have no idea what it's worth.

I paid $40 for it. I'll give you 50. Done. [laughs] I was giving you 25% profit.

If it's not worth $40, then we both need to go get out of this game. Okay. But then I talked to myself. My buddy at work is like, oh, that's fake. It's promo.

I'm like, if you're doing a fake card, don't number him to 20. Yeah. Like, or you're number 20 and print 2000.

But, you know, it could be fake.

It could be.

But, if it is, good story.

Yeah. What's new? Let's give us the Ludex CEO update. The things you can share. Like, what's happening on the Ludex front company standpoint?

I think the biggest thing is rolling out this collection inventory management. Part of the app. It should be in the app within the month. Way more robust searching, filtering, sorting. And really, the industry needs an inventory management, collection management platform.

And that's really what we're doing. We've been working on that for like a year. I mean, the utility that Ludex has is like scan a card. But like, we want it to be like all encompassing because in business, you have competition, especially within the tech world, because techies got diluted so much with these AI agents.

So what you have to separate yourself other ways.

And this is one way is that if you could get the best inventory management system and you have people's collections, you're going to win. And that's what we've been working on. We've been rolling that out at the web version. But within the month, we'll have it.

You'll start to see it migrate towards the the app. So that's super exciting. Our tech team's been working really hard at it. I love it. I've seen it.

You've seen it. Yeah. It's slick. Really slick. I mean, we need that the hobby needs one.

Or at least two really good ones. Let's start with one really good one because I don't know that one great one exist yet.

You know, this is going to be the first one.

I think it's truly like really exceptional. Yeah. I mean, car lighter does a really good job. I love. I love indexes and stuff.

Yeah. I mean, I like that. I like the indexes. It's just the UI of the collection management is not like wonderful. Let's be honest.

I like the substance of what they have there. But I kind of want like either me or someone creative to get ahold of the UI. Like they got the data. You know, they got the indexes. I like that.

But I need art to meet science. Yeah. And I mean, that's a small ecosystem. So they could, you know, they price things well. But yes.

But it's hard to get cars onto that platform. And it's not like super scalable. Yeah.

But that's why I love about what I'm seeing.

And what I've witnessed with the lux is it was already good. But now with the updates, it fills. Exceptional. It's it. And like, you know, everything's going to have.

Get better every time. But it feels like a real leap forward. I mean, you attack every, it's like every. Three years, four years. You have to like redesign it.

Like you have to put money into it. Back into back. And you got to make it more relevant. And you got to, you got to skin it better. And you got to market it better. And it's got to look better.

Because if not, you're stuck with, you know, a calm sea or eBay or, you know, card ladder. It's just not. It doesn't migrate to like the modern day. So what it's very expensive to do that.

It's really expensive. Yeah. So put your CEO had on for the audience. Like, the, not that you didn't already have it on put it put it on the little tighter. And give the audience like, okay.

What they can expect with this new act. Like, what does, it's collection management. But like, give me the elevator pitch.

The 30 second on the new features.

What people could expect from it. Well, the thing that I like the best about it is that. It's stackable search, right? So if I wanted to check out my Jordan collection, I could say Michael Jordan,

cards equal or greater than $1,000 from 1990, 1990 to 1995. And then all that search stacks on each other. And you'll get that component. You'll just get those cards that meet that criteria.

Then I could take those cards.

If you want to look at them, I could send them to you.

I could start sharing the collection. So you and I, even that tiger card, I could be like, hey, I'll scan it in there. I'll send it to you. But it's the stackable search.

That's really cool for me. And then taking that on the social aspect of it. And then sharing that with other people. Yeah. So the collector station app.

That's about one, one millionth of the capability of a lot X.

We'll eventually probably migrate to what the lot X is,

once this gets commercially available. And I can, you know, a big Brian for it to allow me to use it now. He's letting me use it. But I would I could actually roll it out with my whole store.

The basically what I think is cool right on.

I got to share like a feature that's on our really stupid app that's not as pretty as yours. Is I allow people to build a collection and then they can share what they want with the store. So that I can make offers on their cards. So that way, they get the collection management for free. But I can see what their cards are if they agree to share them.

Yep. Yeah. And then like think about that how what you're thinking about is what the capabilities that we'll have. So if if a shop has their cards on there, I could go to the kiosk. Like you guys have a kiosk.

Yeah. And I could go through that kiosk to get the cards that I want. Exactly. And then those cards that I want might be on the floor or they might be in a storage unit. Yep.

Behind the store.

And so that's that's what I think will be really cool.

Is that when people come in, they can find what they want. And that gives them time to then. You know, buy some wax or you know, break something or whatever. And then it's a card show. It's honestly turns into it could turn into a 365 24/7 card show.

It never has got. Yeah. A lot of cool features. And look, that's stack. I'll say this.

I go to an e-commerce website. Like you said stacking the search capabilities. That's what makes a break a really good site is how. How much you can sort of slice and dice the inventory or what's there. And the same thing with your own collection when you're trying to.

Put a deal together or you're trying to know what you have or like. Especially if you've got thousands of cards in your collection. All right. How many. You know, baseball cards do a have that are over $50.

Because maybe you're doing a deal. To move some baseball cards because you're more of a basketball guy. But you aren't necessarily looking for a player. You just want to know what your high value baseball cards are.

Being able to slice and dice that data the way you need to.

That's next level. And that that's. True empowerment to the collector with managing. The collect that that is the. I think it just hit me Brian.

What you guys are doing. It's really. What digital unlocked, right? Because in the analog world is finally coming to this industry. And like because all these things all these cards belong in their in binders.

And they're in top load or sitting in closets or they're in a beautiful case in your house. But what collection digital collection management was supposed to unlock. Was this ability to have knowledge and data and the slice and parsing and know. What you have at the most intricate level, which is what digital sort of unlocked for every other industry. Yeah, the last 15 years.

Yeah, and think about this like like the power. It's really our database, right?

It's like we have 400 million cards in our database.

And those cards belong to people. Yeah. That that's the searchable function of it. Every card that's probably been printed, we probably have. You know, 95% of them, 98% of them.

So all we're doing is going through our own database with that not that all that. Data and we're sharing it. And that's it.

If you want to find a card, go find a card.

And you know what, I could put in exactly the card I want. And we could say hey, Ryan authored has that card. We'll be like cool. I'm going to go go on discord. And I'm going to reach out to Ryan and see if he'll sell.

I'm going to go to his house. You know what he's eating kids. He's having dinner with his kids. Hey, man. I saw the other.

That Michael's ordered card on that. Yeah, man. I'll see you at the show on Saturday. No. But that's it.

You're right about that. Like it's all it's getting a massive database. And then making it into this like searchable virtual world. Exactly.

There's always something physical about the cars themselves.

But it's maximizing the digital tools that we have to innate. It's really trading enablement. That's what this is. Trading and collecting enablement. The new term of the day for the hobby.

It's collection enablement. I'm an enabler. And they you are, Brian. That's it. You are the chief enablement officer.

That's the CEO. That's all yours. They're enabler. You enable these wonderful things to happen with our digital collection management.

Oh, man.

We have we have we have fun even while we're working. The so big things coming with collection management. And Ludax should be out this month, Brian. Is that for the masses? Yeah, I would say that it's, you know,

we are trying to release like two different features a week. And so it's going to migrate towards the finished product. It is software.

So it's never truly finished.

But the functionality of it will be that we've talked about here today. We'll be 30 days. Our big reveal is going to be the national.

That's what really what we're shooting for.

And so, you know, we kind of have those bookends today. Is one bookend and the national's the other to make it really functional and really cool. Keep your eyes peeled. Stay in touch with the Ludax social Instagram, all that. You'll see the update.

You'll see the releases and all that. Ludax dot com. We'll always have the boost up to date information. Of course. And of course, come see me and Brian at the national.

We'll be there. So we're going to do. Who knows, we'll be up to by then. Like we're going to. We'll have a collection on display. Brian's going to have all the goodies. I mean, the book, you guys did it right.

I guess had a nice boost last year. I mean, it feels swanky a little. You know, walk around. It's like, oh, I'm at CES suddenly. Yeah.

I've gotten pretty big. It has. I mean, but it's, but everything kind of still felt like a big.

Okay, a table with a bunch of cards on it.

You know, I mean, I thought the digital pack open and guys. You know, I won't name names or several of them. They did pretty good because if they didn't. They're still in the tech of that. But you definitely guys had the white and the blue.

The branding that I love and felt elevated. The Lennox booth. And I'm sure that will. The surprises and delights will only increase this year. That's what we hope for.

So come see us at the national. That will be in late July. First week of August. It's like the 31st first second somewhere in all in that neighborhood. I don't have my calendar front of me.

But hey, I got to I got the the RV wagon coming hard. More news on that. I'll share more. That's just a teaser for now folks. Let's just say it's coming along.

Very nice. Kevin O'Leary. Turned heads at the 2026 sag awards by wearing. That Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant card that he paid. Yeah, him in a couple of investors paid 13.5.

And I guess it's already up to 19.5. I don't know if that was because what was around the necklace was worth that. Or if the card had actually jumped. You know, 40% says they bought it. Probably who knows.

Part of me rolls my eyes, but part of me goes. Yeah. It's kind of a baller to wear that card around your neck. You know, like, I don't even have Logan Paul did it first. I'm okay with it.

Yeah, I mean, I think like I think it's cool. Like I don't know if I would do it. Yeah, I would. I'm also a buying a third. Yeah, you would.

I'm not buying a 13.5 million dollar card either.

Like I would know. You know, like, you know, a thousand bucks or something.

So, but I think when you have it, like that just shows like it is art, right?

It is art. It is collecting. It's unique. Um, is hope you don't get like mugged. Yeah.

You, you, you safety had to add like extra protection insurance for that day. Yeah. Yeah, right. Well, he's a London. Yeah, total had a side policy.

Probably 10 grand or more. I mean, maybe more than that. I don't know. Bro, if he was, if I had partner, and I was like, he's like, this is what I want to do. Yeah.

And I, third of that, or half of that, I'd be like, whoa, no, no, no, no. Like get, get insurance.

Even that insurance is like, but here's the thing.

And look, everybody bear with me. I know you're here for the cards and the hobby. But you're always going to get a little slice of business from me. At least marketing. And if you don't know right about now, the number one business in marketing show in Apple.

Been for three years, that's my other show. I don't ever plug it, but I'm going to plug it right now. Kevin O'Leary knows something that very few business people get. He understands brand. He's playing the brand game.

He understands that the attention game, the media game. He knows how to make headlines that he may look. Our little show here. Yeah, maybe we're top five sports and that apple. But it's our little show.

Our little slice. And what we're talking about it, and so is CNN and so is drugs report. And so is every other news outlet has a headline. It says, Kevin O'Leary turns heads by having that necklace. And it's about the necklace, but it's not about playing brand.

Play playing attention game.

And Kevin makes his own brand, his own assets, and his own business is more valuable because he generates headlines. So you can hate the game. Oh, you won't, but don't hate the player. That's some sage advice.

That's awesome. Colour Murray got released from the Cardinals. This is just like a story that's been coming for six years. I like, it's like, I don't know what to make a Colour Murray. Like badass in college had moments in the pros.

I like him.

I like his game, but it's like, it's never.

I think you're always like one. You're always waiting for one more doll turn that just doesn't seem to ever come. Yeah. I mean, it really sets your franchise back. You know, like, they get, they pay them a lot of money.

And he just didn't deliver. And that hurts. You know, the Vikings. I can see the Vikings picking them up. As a veteran to go against JJ,

I think if Kyle Murray matures and gets and really commits to the craft,

I think he has crazy potential. But it's got to happen like this year, right? It's so weird, too, because he's never been the guy that's in the headlines. He's not man's ill. You know, it's not like, and I like Johnny.

I'm not my son. You've done him. I'm just saying, but let's be honest. And you even said it yourself. Totally mature.

Like intro ball time. That's not Tyler. He seems like put together. But all you hear is the same thing. This maturity, this discipline, like,

and it's like, it's hard to put, it's your head around it. He had to put a clause in his contract to not play, like, play station or Xbox or something. Like, like, that was in his contract. You could only play X amount of hours of Xbox.

So, well, we like, like a child.

Yeah, never heard of such in a professional contract.

Right? And there's been some dudes. There's been some dudes that, like, if we're going to have that clause or have the no stupid goofing off clause, it would have been before Kyler.

Because you don't, again, Kyler is just under the, he's just behind the scenes.

I guess he's like, you know, what's the kid that never grew up?

He's like, Webster or something? Like, you know? Like, they checked about Peter Pan. Maybe. But Emma Webster, like, when he, like, kid that, like,

always was the kid. I don't know. I Webster just physically didn't grow. I don't know. Maybe.

I thought he was always kind of acting like a kid, too. Yeah. I think. And the same guy from different strokes Arnold. Yeah.

Exactly. Just growing. I don't know. I don't know. I'll talk about more matured.

He liked them there. Yeah. Like, this is a good sign. But Kyler, I mean, he's not the biggest guy, but he's, he's bigger than those guys.

I mean, he's an NFL quarterback. I thought, I've been more like, like, they're always a kid. Like, it's kind of like Michael Jackson.

Like Michael Jackson, they say never really grew up,

because he just never, like, got a chance to live. He's on the road all the time. Then when he finally, I had a little bit of time of money. He's like, I'm going to stay kid, you know?

You know, I, I digress. The bell is right. Peter Pan. Oh, contemplating. Yeah.

Peter Pan complex. That's what he does. Not Webster. You know, I am showing my knowledge of the 80s. Silver spoons.

Remember that? Maybe that silver spoons. Silver spoon. The kid had the train. You know, the drivetrain.

Oh, house. Secret passages. Great house. What's a great house?

I always, I forever wanted secret passages in my house

because of that show. Way different than my house. So I grew up in. What? Was it all open?

No doors or something? What? It's like, they've been the train. Oh, okay. Box.

No. In fact, that my, I'm Mary Francis Ludden turns 80. She turned 80 yesterday. So they mom. Thank you for raising four boys.

So yes. So shout out to Mary Francis Ludden. Hey, I'm thankful for Mary Francis Ludden for having Brian. You know, I don't even know her, but I love her because she had Brian. So let's go.

We do give her a shout out. 80. It's a good one. Yeah. She, is she good?

Health good? Yeah. She's doing okay. They're down in Marko Island, Florida. Doing their thing.

Okay. Go. Yeah. Let's go. We'll be talking.

Doing their thing. I talked to my mom this morning for about 30 minutes. And she just told me how happy she was. Like 30 minutes. She's living her best life.

That's great. Yeah. Yeah. If I'm 74. And as happy as she is, I'm good.

You know?

I will say that. I have my parents. I have happy parents. You know, like, that's not the answer big deal. Like, as far as how you grow up.

I don't know. Like, it makes it different. Mom was always happy. Yeah. It does.

You know, like, mom was always happy.

I'd have us in the military. So he had to add in on. But he was generally always happy. It was not, no. We did.

We were blessed to not because, you know, a lot of times, you have mental health issues. Things like there's just natural or just out of control. And I, you know, not having to go around that. It's like, I like be around happy people. You know, not because we're, not because we're like,

I don't know, Cinderella.

Like, I think everything, oh, you know, like, polyana.

I think that's the right analogy there. I'm like, Webster. Uh, the, not polyana. But, you know, like, just not a time. Like, let's, let's just be happy.

You know, try to figure this out. Hey, I'm happy that Brian Ludden is my friend. And then we get to do this show. Any five. Any five.

Any five. Good. Bro, what is the same exacting to you, man? What, uh, any final thoughts, belated. We leave anything out here on the March 6th, 2020,

second edition of Plutton, I should only think is that today,

the US plays Brazil in the World Baseball Classic, which is super exciting. And we've lost last time to Japan in 2023. So hopefully this year, we can have a comeback moment. Yay.

Yeah, that'd be awesome. That's, that's exciting stuff. Exactly. We're right around the corner from opening day. We talked about that more as it comes.

I did open a box. You know, as we finish here, I don't want to, I'll talk about it. I'll talk about it all happy. I hope at the tops of 2026 series one, Holly Box. And I haven't, and I'm a baseball.

I'm a football, excuse me, basketball, more of like me,

personally in PC stuff. I got baseball stuff. We got ton of baseball in the crossover. It's a freaking card shop in baseball, still rules. But, I just, I did was making one open a football box.

I don't know. I know people love baseball. And I like, I'm gotten more into watching baseball again. But the baseball cards, there's so many players.

I'm like, I got dizzy trying to like,

get, keep up with it. I mean, I felt old. I mean, I mean, I mean, players are on every baseball team. 24. Okay.

So it's not my imagination. Well, I know there's a lot of football players. But they don't make football cards for every football player. I don't think too. They got, they got rookie league.

They got low A. They got, yeah. They got double A. They got a triple A. So many.

So many play. And how many teams? Is it same numbers? 30? Yeah.

That's about the same as football basketball. But like, that's pretty. Like, 720 people are the major leagues. But in the mirror league, there's like 7,000. I'm just so behind on my names.

I got to get better at that. Football guys. I know the offensive lineman for the chiefs. You know, like, but it's, it's getting rough. I got to get up.

I'm really trying to get back up speed. But I'll tell you what. Like, football cards are way more expensive. But you have to like, you get bigger hits. I was just kind of like dying for like a $10 card

up in that hobby box. Yeah. Like $130 card. And that's cool. But I'm like, I don't know.

Take your feedback. Anything out there that wants to learn me on a place. We'll get me back up the speed on baseball.

That's what we say in the south if you want to learn me.

Learn me. [Laughs] I grew up in easily, man. I got a call as degree. But I mean, let's be honest.

I grew up right here. I got to get learned on a more baseball. You want to talk basketball. You want to talk Cooper Flag. You want to talk Wimbee.

You want to talk Shake Yilders. You want to talk who are you going to go? It goes deep as you want a basketball football. But I got to get mine. My baseball thing going because I was just like.

I'm hoping in these baseball cards. I believe you could do it. I believe in you. I got a memory for it. I just got to get into it.

I did it to open like a banger box. I mean, I'm going to go like jumbo next to triple jumbo or something. I don't know. Whatever. Whatever like the bang and box.

I need some like. I needed some. You know what it was, Brian. I need to some dopamine. And I wasn't getting it with the.

The ace of base. I was getting out of that hobby box. Too much base. I mean, the base card stack. I thought they're high when you put some football.

That baseball card base stack was this high of that hobby box. Yeah. No, no. Now I'm not going to stop the box out of this store. But.

No. I'm saving the good ones for everyone else. Yeah. It's enough tender for a day. Oh, God.

It's. It's killing in the south. Gonna fire for three years. Light one of those cards up and go.

No.

I'm trying to learn the names, man.

Lots of names. So bear with me.

As I get my baseball names from this year.

I'm I look in three or four weeks. I'm going to be quoting the dudes for baseball. I'm committed to it. I mean, I've got to put my reps in. I got to open swarm get the boys in a baseball more.

We've been football basketball family.

Even though we own the card store.

I got my guys. They're in the baseball. But man, we got to. I got to get some reps in.

I got to rip like I got to rip through like a hundred grand in.

And baseball to get where I was a football. I got to get three grand. Yeah, three grand at least. Yeah. Brian, final thoughts today, my friend.
