The Hobby Never Sleeps - Episode 24

NFL Week 2 brought chaos across the league — and the hobby is already feeling the effects. In this week’s episode of The Hobby Never Sleeps, Dante and Connor dive deep into the biggest games, quarterback storylines, and hobby market reactions while also breaking down the upcoming 2024 Flawless release. Plus, we wrap things up with a special feature preview of Bowman Chrome, one of the most anticipated product drops of the year.

We cover everything from Jalen Hurts and the Eagles’ early-season questions, to Arch Manning’s record-breaking card sales despite shaky play, to which rookies and veterans are making the biggest impacts on card values. The guys also debate Downtown inserts and whether the market is becoming oversaturated, and they break down strategies on whether to sell now or hold in today’s fast-moving market.

Of course, there’s plenty of NFL hot takes along the way: is Joe Burrow already in trouble? Is Daniel Jones a DOG? Can Baker and the Bucs actually make noise? And what about the Chiefs’ playoff chances? Add in some fantasy football banter, wild overreactions, and even a Hopkins vs Julio Jones debate, and you’ve got a full episode that blends NFL talk with hobby insights.

To close, we shift gears into baseball with a quick look at the MLB playoff picture before moving into our special feature segment: Bowman Chrome Preview. We’ll walk through the checklist, key prospects, and what collectors should watch for when this product drops next week.

Whether you’re here for NFL analysis, hobby talk, or card product breakdowns, this episode has it all.
