Season 4 was filled with some amazing moments. Hits and misses. Good takes and laughably bad ones. When you put out a show every single week, you're bound to win some, and lose some.

That's how things have gone during the 4 year run for Card Talk. Three friends sitting around, making fun of each others favorite teams and talking sports cards. HAVING FUN!

Sometimes we forget what collecting trading cards is supposed to be all about. It's a hobby. Hobbies are meant to be a fun escape from the real world. Despite the fact that there are values attached to the cards, at the end of the day it's the people in the hobby and their stories that make it great.

We were fortunate enough to carve out a segment in this hobby for 4 years who enjoyed watching and listening to us every single Wednesday. You submitted plays of the week, asked questions, attended our in-person events, trade nights, the National, Dallas Card Shows, London Card Shows... it was truly an honor to be able to entertain you and keep you updated on all the hobby news.

Sadly, it appears that at least for now, this will be the final episode of Card Talk. The entire crew here will miss all of the interactions and engagements, the laughs and jokes. It's been one hell of a run.

We won't say goodbye.... it's more of a see you later!!

From our entire crew, THANK YOU for making this show so much fun to record.

Now please enjoy our season 4 recap!!!

Here comes SantaCollector2! It's Ryan's first holiday season as a father, and he's fired up!

This week, the New York Jets won a football game out of spite and Tyler/Lou couldn't be less enthused. Sad.

Also, Shohei Ohtani signed an outrageous $700,000,000 contract with $680,000,000 of it deferred. The guys break down where that sort of contract is headed. Juan Soto signed with the Yanks and Tyler is fired up about it. Justin Midbert went down with a season ending injury, joining almost every starting quarterback on IR. Zion Williamson is eating a lot and social media is upset about it.. even after he dropped 36 points.

We have another fresh round of Q&A from our followers and a HUGE release week including Tom Brady Expos cards and some FIRE Connor Bedard Upper Deck Artifacts rookies.

Tune in for all of that AND MORE!

Ryan doesn't take many L's on Card Talk... so today is about to be a bit different.

It's been 3 weeks since we last recorded an episode. Since then, the Jets are in the midst of a complete free fall, Penn State lost to Michigan, and the Patriots have become a laughingstock.. but the 3rd Ohio State loss in a row to Michigan, in a game that Ryan claims is the "most important game of the year... even more so than a possible National Championship game... the one game he wants to win above all else!"

You hate to see these things. I hate to see these things. But Lou... he LOVES to see it and you can be sure he was ready for this week's "What's on your mind" segment.

In hobby news, Topps Chrome Update Debut Patches are absolutely on fire, highlighting a very good run of recent promotions for Topps that included Wemby's Bowman U Green "1st card I ever signed" inscription, the TacoFractors, a Babe Ruth / Ohtani dual auto card and the MVP Buyback program that sent collectors to their LCS for a little discounted holiday shopping!

Speaking of Wemby, his 1st ever game worn jersey (from the second half - he wore 2 that night) sold at auction for an eye popping $762,000, the most money ever paid for a rookie jersey. Should Panini or Fanatics have bought it and cut it up, creating the ultimate chase?

In other NBA news, LeBron's longevity is other worldly... the Orlando Magic are HOT... and Anthony Edwards is very cool.

Tune in for all of that, some Instagram Q&A and Play of the Week is back with SIX slides, including one follower that made a play on a Hall of Fame wide receiver!

The Hamburgler, some guy on vacation and Joe Burrow are back after another crazy week of sports.

Zach Wilson just needed 25 seconds to guide the New York Jets on a 3 game winning streak. Will Levis tossed 4 tuddys filling in for top 10 NFL QB Ryan Tannehill. Kirk Cousins is out in Minnesota. Brock Purdy stock is plummeting. (Sam Darnold soon).

There's a World Series being played, incase anybody hasn't noticed. The Tacofractor champion has arrived... how much would YOU pay for a $15k Taco Bell gift card? Better yet, how much would you pay for a patch that was worn on the sleeve of your favorite rookie? We're about to find out!
