In the first flagship episode of 2026, Stacking Slabs explores how curiosity shapes conviction in collecting. The episode centers on a missed card. A 2020 Crown Royale Tyrese Haliburton Crystal Platinum 1/1. The loss was not about price. It was about timing and understanding.As the research deepened, interest turned into attachment. Learning changed how the card was viewed and why it mattered.This episode examines the difference between hype and conviction. Borrowed excitement versus earned belief. It challenges the idea that desire starts with price or scarcity. Instead, it argues that understanding creates confidence. The conversation invites collectors to slow down.To research with intention. And to build collections that reflect who they are, not what is trending.If a card has ever meant more after its story was understood, this episode speaks directly to that experience.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
