Absolutely, vintage prices are at record high levels. There has been no decline yet especially on high grade.

To many people are too bullish for me to not think about trimming and cutting back. I’ve been wrong for the past few years it just going up. That being said I’m fearful not selling and definitely not buying.

What time is this supposed to be on?

Thought it was fine. Mostly around the modern surge and $$$$ that's now involved.

Highlights:
Some 18 year old's $3M modern basketball collection after the surge and how he's now worth more than his father and is skipping college to focus on cards.

Some high-end private collector showing some of his cards like a Wagner and the huge security team he uses when transporting cards. Had a case of 24 cards worth $40M, mostly high grade mainstream Ruth, Cobb, Jackson, Aaron, Mantle, Robinson (going from memory) and the Wagner (PSA 3 I think).

Some shop owner that does live breaks and is now making millions after the surge. Shows him attending the National via private jet.

Lots of video from the National. Interview with our favorite FBI agent.

Some collector of NBA Top Shot and explaining non tangible digital collectibles.

Think that was about it unless I'm missing something.

I hope they covered all the massive manipulation behind the surge in prices. Even if one loves cards and collecting, to participate in the hobby these days--- especially in the expensive end-- makes one feel like a mark at worst or in desperate need of a shower at best.

Seems like this is a way to make good money these days. Not sure how one would make millions doing it unless you've got a monetized Youtube channel that's doing huge numbers of views. But breaks are super popular right now and there's a lot money to be made doing them.
