What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

At its best, this is fun, informative banter about sports and sports/non-sports cards between 2 friends (Jessie and Mike) with drastically different interests and backgrounds. Their personal difference is their strength. For that reason, the Podcast is different than any other in the sports card hobby world. It can be absolutely tremendous. But at its worst, it’s Mike & Mike 2.0, where they ultimately allow their interpersonal animosity to ruin an otherwise great dynamic between the two. Personally hoping they can hold things together to continue a great thing.

Dont Bother 9 · Oct 2024

Both Mike and Jesse are absolute rockstars for the hobby. Entertaining, informative, and a much needed distraction during long drives to work. The banter is fun and reminds me of family events with my own brothers. When will we see a non-sport and sport break featuring Mike AND Jesse???? The group needs a split screen double feature.

Altball24 · Sep 2024

Great show with great banter and insights from Mike and Jessie. Love the honesty from Mike gio. Just a great sports card show for hardcore and casual collectors.

Jcf1213 · Apr 2024

I have been a listener of this show since the first episode and have thoroughly enjoyed it as an entertaining weekly update on what is going on in the world of sports cards and more. HOWEVER, in the past few months the tension between hosts Mike and Jesse seems to be at an all-time high. They have always bickered (Mike usually being grumpy and making fun of Jessie), but what was once mostly friendly seems to have taken the turn of exhaustion and personal limits being reached. I know there have been big life changes (Mike having a child), and the uncertainty of a contract extension with Spotify, that may be contributing to this increased tension. What was once entertaining banter has become unenjoyable to listen to and negatively impacts the quality of the show. My hope is that uncertainties and attitudes will improve in the near future, and Mike and Jesse can leave outside distractions at the door and continue focusing on the quality and execution of the podcast. I wish y’all nothing but the best! - Miles
