In Part 1 of today's episode, I refine my thoughts on what separates good 1/1s from great 1/1s. I also discuss why I tend to stay away from auto and relic cards.

In Part 2 of today's episode, I examine 2005-2010 baseball Superfractors that are in my personal collection. I conclude that collectors shouldn't always chase nostalgia or be driven by nostalgia,...sometimes we have to let the nostalgia chase us as we perform research. Specific cards mentioned include 2005 Topps Chrome Superfractor Zack Greinke and 2006 Topps Chrome Superfractor Felix Hernandez. Curt Schilling, CC Sabathia, and other players of the era also make an appearance.

In today's episode, I first discuss 2012 Panini Prizm football and share some thoughts on Pylon and Black Finite parallels. More specifically, I question the utility of constantly comparing sets and ranking cards.

After that, I review some of the most well-known basketball 1/1 parallel sets that were produced between 1997/98 and 2004/05. Included in this discussion is a recent addition to my personal collection: 2003/04 Finest Gold X-Fractor #122 Chris Webber 1/1. For this card in particular, I discuss my reasoning and thought process as I went about acquiring this card.
