Is Influence Hurting or Helping Your Collection? 21:49

for 17 dager siden21:49

21:49

Every collector is influenced. The question is how do you make sure it helps, not hurts, your collection? In this flagship episode, I break down the role of influence in our collecting decisions. I share how seeing other collectors’ posts, hearing their stories, or watching a new piece of content can open doors, but also how it can push us toward decisions we regret. I walk through the seven principles of influence from Dr. Robert Cialdini and explore how each shows up in the hobby. Then I share the personal three-step filter I use to slow down and make sure every move I make is really mine. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt the pull to collect something new, wondered if they’re chasing hype, or wanted a framework to make more intentional choices. You’ll leave with: A better understanding of how influence really works in the hobby A practical filter to test every potential purchase Clarity on the difference between influence and FOMO We’re not robots—we’re collectors. Influence is real. What matters is how we respond to it.

In this episode of Card Ladder Confidential , Chris and Josh from Card Ladder return for a pre-playoff sitdown that blends basketball analysis with collecting philosophy. We kick things off with a cold open: if they had to freeze their current PCs (Jokic, Luka, LeBron), which playoff player would they collect instead? Their answers spark a deep discussion around Jimmy Butler, Austin Reaves, and how playoff performance shapes perception. Then we break down collection management strategies. Josh and Chris share personal examples of exiting lanes, consolidating for grails, and rethinking collecting goals. We explore what it means to truly "collect what you like"—and whether you can learn to like something new. We also hit the biggest card market story nobody's talking about: Card Ladder tracked a record $303M in sales in March. Why isn’t the hobby buzzing? What does this say about collector behavior in a post-boom world? This episode is a blend of collector insight, data-backed discussion, and NBA playoff takes that only Chris and Josh can deliver.
