The Future of Sports Cards: Data, AI & Discovery Ft. Tyler ‘TPott’ Nethercott

In this episode of Slabnomics, I’m joined by Tyler “T-Pott” Nethercott: Senior VP of Product at Sports Card Investor and one of the key minds behind the Market Movers app.

Tyler walks through his journey from banking, risk analysis, and SAP data projects into building one of the most important sports card data platforms in the hobby. From there, we dive deep into what actually separates successful investors and collectors from everyone else: critical thinking, probability, and good decision-making frameworks.

We talk about:

• The early days of Market Movers, beta testing, and building a massive card database
• Why critical thinking & problem solving beat “knowing every checklist”
• Using floor, ceiling, probability, and opportunity cost to guide card buys
• How Market Movers thinks about roadmapping, parity vs differentiation, and user feedback
• The future of AI, exploration, and augmented discovery in sports card apps
• How to find mispriced opportunities by understanding why certain cards are expensive and applying that logic to overlooked segments
• The difference between collecting what you like and investing in what others like and will like later

If you’re serious about sports card investing, want to get smarter with data and tools, or you’re curious how AI might change the way we search for and value cards, this conversation will give you a ton to think about.

This episode is for you if:

• You want to level up from beginner to intermediate (or beyond) in the hobby
• You care about sports cards as an alternative asset class
• You want frameworks, not just “buy this card” calls
