Most collectors spend their days refreshing save searches and chasing listings. But some of the best cards? They never hit the market.

In this episode, Brett shares two recent pickups—both landed without a public listing and made possible through one thing: conversation. These deals weren’t about luck. They were the result of trust, timing, and building real relationships in the hobby.

If you're tired of missing out or feeling stuck in your routine, this episode is your reminder that the best deals often come from the quiet places—the DMs, the group chats, and the unexpected texts from fellow collectors.

This one’s about playing the long game and understanding why the best cards in your collection might not come from eBay… but from a conversation you start today.
