Episode 300 Milestone + Auction Tech Blind Spots + Joe’s Curry 1 of 1 Premier Auction Win

We kick off Episode 300 of Sports Cards Live with a milestone check-in, a quick run through key updates, and a hobby conversation that goes deeper than most collectors ever think to look. We share progress on POPs & COMPs, a behind-the-scenes update on Hobby Spectrum, and a real discussion about the “invisible layer” behind many online auction houses: third-party platforms, data access, and why understanding the rules and infrastructure matters. Then the night takes a turn when Joe recounts his Fanatics Collect Premier Auction moment, dropping a record bid to land a serious Steph Curry grail. The best part is the card is actually nasty. If you’ve taken the Hobby Spectrum assessment, send feedback on any questions that didn’t fit. That’s how we tighten it before wider rollout. Drop a comment: do you care whether an auction house uses proprietary software vs a leased platform? Why or why not?
