🎙️The Hobby Will Die in 2026, According To Commenters! - Ep. 2.49

/ ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Each Happy Hobby Sports Card Newsletter For Collectors has a handful of great sports card subjects, helping sports card collectors working with limited budgets!
A few weeks ago, I laid out my reasons on why I believe sports cards will explode in 2026, and many of you agreed with me!
But many of you also thought I was just this side of cuckoo! Commenters laid out their disdain for Fanatics getting three of the four major sports card licenses, and they shared several reasons they thought the hobby was on the precipice of disaster!
