In this episode of Slabnomics, host Matthew Worley sits down with Cajun Cardboard (Bryan Denison) to talk about his incredible journey through the sports card hobby. From flipping raw Giannis Antetokounmpo Prizm rookies and Luka Dončić cards to building one of the most respected collections of Michael Jordan inserts, Bryan shares hard-earned lessons on consistency, strategy, and long-term collecting.

We dive into:

*Why consistency in content has fueled Cajun Cardboard’s YouTube growth 

*Market cycles, liquidity windows, and how new money from breakers and repacks is reshaping the hobby.

*Why only “one-name players” (Luka, Tatum, Cade, Messi, Ronaldo) truly sustain card value.

*Card Scouting for the best player on their team only

*Matt's Soccer Mount Rushmore that will enrage 3.5 Billion people

Whether you’re a collector, investor, or soccer card speculator, this conversation offers both caution and opportunity. Learn why Michael Jordan inserts remain bulletproof, why Messi’s 2014 Prizm Gold PSA 10 may be the “Mickey Mantle of soccer,” and how to think about timing, liquidity, and legacy in today’s market.
