Was the sports card hobby better in 2016? Mike and Jesse take a trip down memory lane to a time when Prizm boxes were $109 and National Treasures cases didn't cost as much as a new car. We dive into:
- Insane Price Comparisons: From $160 Prizm boxes to the current market explosion.
- The Grading Wars: Why Beckett (BGS) was the king of the mountain over PSA in 2016.
- Craigslist Finds: A wild story about a Craigslist deal that turned into a $2,000 profit at a local card show.
- Access to Knowledge: How the internet and apps like Card Ladder have changed the way we "comp" cards forever.

Are you still hunting for those 2016-era deals, or do you prefer today's high-stakes market? Let us know in the comments!
