## Resource

Hosts Chris Sewell and Jeremy Donson kick off the first episode of Collector Investor Podcast with stories from their 15-year partnership, the founding of CIA Auctions, and plans for the auction house. They discuss grading trends, rising graders to watch, eBay AI scam concerns, and how graders inspect cards. The hosts also debate three standout auction lots — a Rodman precious metal gem, a Jackie Robinson leaf, and a Babe Ruth Sports Kings card — and share their personal picks. The episode closes with an inside look at how they comp and price large collections, tips for sellers, and an invitation for listeners to submit questions for future episodes. Amazon
