## Resource

Hosts Chris Sewall and Jeremy Donson kick off the eighth episode of Collector Investor Podcast with the guys opening with T-Pot's grading experiment. The guys have very strong opinions about it and share stories about how they have had cards misgraded. This all brings into question, if the graders are really experts. Then the guy's answer- questions of the day. One question is about the 52 Mantle, and if it is overpriced. We end with a debate- What is the greatest baseball card set of all time?
