This isn’t just a podcast; it’s a celebration of sports, pop culture, and the universal joy of pulling a card so dope you immediately start calculating how many shares of Apple you can buy with it. Whether you’re a seasoned pro, a curious rookie, or someone who just wants to hear how Michael Jordan, Marvel movies, and Saved by the Bell all connect through cardboard, you’ve found your proverbial home. Here, we keep it (mostly) positive as we dive into the wild world of collecting: rookie chases, market trends, and how these little slices of nostalgia tie into fandom, investing, and, yes, incredible relationships! Also, expect plenty of stories, pop culture tangents, and more than a few questionable analogies. So grab your penny sleeves, settle in, and let’s talk sports cards more than your spouse would ever allow! SPORTS. CARDS. ARE. DOPE. (and so are you 🎧✨)! Now quit reading, hit follow, and let’s dance you beautiful chicken nugget.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-20T06:18:31.816684+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sports-cards-are-dope-7170687"},"episode":{"title":"The $16.5 Million Pikachu 😳 What Logan Paul’s Sale REALLY Means","slug":"the-16-5-million-pikachu-what-logan-paul-s-sale-really-means","published_at":"2026-02-16T15:39:11+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sports-cards-are-dope-7170687/the-16-5-million-pikachu-what-logan-paul-s-sale-really-means","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sports-cards-are-dope-7170687","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/d0d436e9","audio_url":"https://claritaspod.com/measure/2.gum.fm/op3.dev/e/pdcn.co/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/prfx.byspotify.com/e/media.transistor.fm/d0d436e9/2cc708ca.mp3","summary":"Logan Paul just sold his PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator for $16.5 million — the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold.
