Episode 97 Nashville Show Update

Sports Cards & A Cup of Joe is back, and this time, we’re taking you inside one of the hottest shows in the country. In this episode, Joe welcomes Taylor Pruitt back to the mic for a behind-the-scenes breakdown of The National in Nashville and what happened on that show floor might surprise you. Before the doors even opened, thousands of dollars in vintage cards were flying off the tables. Cheap slabs disappeared in hours. Jordan, Curry, Kobe-gone. A single deal flipped from $8K to $20K in under an hour. And that was just Friday. From explosive Whatnot demand to the unstoppable rise of Pokémon, from Scooby-Doo nostalgia to six-figure vintage momentum, this episode captures a hobby that feels red-hot at every level. Grading submissions are surging. New collectors are flooding in. Dealers are selling out before the weekend even hits stride. Is this another boom? A new normal? Or something even bigger? If you want real insight into what’s moving, what’s climbing, and what collectors are chasing right now, this is the show report you don’t want to miss. Grab a cup of coffee and tune in. The hobby is heating up.
