He covers how to build a substitute universe, evaluate opportunity frequency, negotiate from a position of strength, know when to walk away, and determine the maximum price you can defend without lying to yourself.</p><p>A grail is not only a collecting decision.</p><p>It is a financial decision.</p><p>It is a psychological decision.</p><p>It is a test of discipline.</p><p>If you're heading to Fanatics Fest, The National, or you're chasing a card that rarely surfaces, this episode will help you think through the biggest purchase your collection might ever face.</p><p><br>Check out the awesome software that <a href="https://infernored.com/">InfernoRed Technology</a> can build for you.</p><p>Sign up for <a href="https://stackingslabs.substack.com/p/coming-soon?r=hjr6d&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_source=copy">Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip</a> for free</p><p>Get your free copy of <a href="https://subscribepage.io/CollectingForKeeps">Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On Hype</a></p><p>Start your <a href="https://patreon.com/StackingSlabs?utm_medium=unknown&amp;utm_source=join_link&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&amp;utm_content=copyLink">7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today</a></p><p>[<strong>Distributed on Sunday</strong>] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this <a href="https://stackingslabs.substack.com/p/coming-soon?r=hjr6d&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_source=copy">link</a></p><p>Follow Stacking Slabs: | <a href="https://twitter.com/stackingslabs">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stackingslabs">Instagram </a>| <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StackingSlabs/">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://vm.tiktok.com/cvNbNG/">Tiktok</a></p> <strong> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/StackingSlabs" rel="payment" title="★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★">★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★</a> </strong>
