This Kid Is Changing the Hobby — And So Are These Other Legends

We went live from the 2025 National Sports Card Show to bring you conversations with some of the most unique and inspiring people in the hobby. Will Wade from Canvas Marketing opened up about how sports cards helped turn his life around—and shared the wild story of being related to Steph Curry. Evan Parker, CEO of Mantle, gave us a behind-the-scenes look at building a social media platform just for collectors. Hobby prodigy Blake Grice joined us to talk about using his platform to give back and grow the community. Chicago Cubs pitcher Justin Steele stopped in to talk about his passion for collecting and how the hobby connects fans and athletes. We were also joined by actor and longtime collector Thomas Ian Nicholas (Rookie of the Year), who shared some great stories about cards, movies, and his connection to the hobby. Doc Moist Muffins, the man who pulled the now-famous $500K Jayden Daniels 1/1, caught up with us again. And Laura Hoeksema, a fan attending The National, shared her firsthand experience competing in the Fanatics Games. From collectors to creators, athletes to fans—this episode captures the full spirit of the show.
