When Rookie Cards Aren’t the Best Cards: The Haliburton Hypothesis

15h ago 19:04

MP3•Episode home

We’re told rookie cards matter most. But what happens when a player writes their legacy wearing a different uniform?

In this episode, I take a personal and collector-first look at why Tyrese Haliburton’s Pacers cards might matter more than his Kings rookies. This isn’t about ignoring the rookie card—it’s about questioning hobby programming, thinking independently, and considering what actually connects you to a card.

I share the real-time perspective of being a fan during the most meaningful Pacers run of my life and how that clarity has reshaped the way I see Haliburton’s card catalog.

You’ll hear about:

What cards are available and which ones aren’t
The difference between collector-controlled and commodity cards
Why emotional connection matters more than labels
How this applies beyond Haliburton

It’s not a take—it’s a question. What if the best card isn’t the first one?

This episode is for anyone looking to find ways to land cards with collectors through trust.
