Mike Gio, Jason and Gary debate what manufacturers, grading companies and collectors should do about counterfeits—and whether blaming buyers misses the bigger problem.
Also in Episode 6 of Pardon the Nonsense:
• What happens to Shohei Ohtani’s card market if the Dodgers don’t win the World Series?
• Is Drake Maye the most disappointing young quarterback card investment?
• Three rounds, 60-second takes and another argument over the final scores.
