Welcome to the Stacking Slabs, a podcast for sports cards collectors.

    Quality content meets personal passion for sports card collecting. I never miss an episode.

    Amazing show by an Awesome Dude!

    Awesome card show loaded with useful information! Listen to every episode. Highly recommend!

    Expand your hobby sea
    When this podcast is good, it’s great. But when you “shrink your hobby sea,” you put yourself in a box. The friday interviews used to be my favorite part of this show. But it’s become stale. Generic Manning collector #132, generic Manning collector #133, generic Colts collector #56, drakes pc aka the least interesting man in the hobby interview #45, generic manning collector #134, wwe gellman interview #33, generic colts collector #57 and on and on. The host has done a good job selling the whole “shrink the hobby sea” thing. But from a content standpoint, maybe consider expanding your topic sea. If he had more of an open mind and was willing to learn about areas of cards that - gasp - don’t appeal to him personally but appeal to - gasp - other people (imagine wanting to make other people feel welcome), this pod could be so much better. This pod gets a lot of slack because of the longevity and people genuinely liking the host as a person. But this reviewer finds it boring and stale. Cue the “well dont listen, then” response. Good idea ✌️
  • Jsc1987

    Collectors Podcast
    I listen to a lot of sports card podcasts. This is the only one that makes me feel good about my decision to collect the people in my PC. This podcast helps me stay excited about the hobby.
  • Powerwh33ls
    Favorite Podcast!
    Perfect podcast for a card collector! Great variety in topics. Brett always keeps the main thing THE MAIN THING. He understands what collecting is all about, and always brings it back to that. Anyone can appreciate that!

    Hobby Content Alternative
    Hide your wallet and credit cards when listening to the Stacking Slabs Podcast because after hearing Brett’s passion for collecting you will feel the need to attack your eBay watchlist and buy every item. Brett loves cards and the authenticity of Stacking Slabs keeps me coming back every week.

    For Collectors
    Very genuine, both the hosts and his guests.
  • Bigdibble55
    Best podcast for collector’s!!
    Stacking Slabs is my go to pod!! Brett’s enthusiasm and love for the hobby is evident every time you listen. The show is more about collecting what you love, and not the next hype train. Always has on great guests who discuss how they tackle the hobby for their collection!!
  • mc bob
    The collectors pod!
    Brett has an amazing perspective on the hobby we all know and love with a collectors first mind set!
  • jkmcc92
    The best
    The best collector focused podcast going. Period.
  • Mailman matt
    Best dude ever
    Such a positive voice for the hobby! I don’t miss a Wednesday or Friday show
  • Gumbo111
    Great show
    Love it!
  • Dan Ogilvy
    Thank you!
    Always look forward to listening to Brett’s takes and his ideas. He is also kind enough to respond to messages to answer further questions. Thank you, my man!
  • sierdog
    Great show
    Brett always brings the energy and the passion. Each week you get two episodes. Usually the Weds episode is a dose of education/motivation, while Friday’s episode features an interview with a collector/hobbyist. It’s a great format, with an even better host. Most episodes have staying power so even if you don’t catch them live they are relevant days or weeks later. Most hobby talk revolves around football, wrestling or basketball cards, but a lot of the content is relevant to just about anyone who collects cardboard.
  • MidlifeUpswing
    Sports Cards Education
    Really glad I found this podcast. Each episode is like a class in collecting sports cards. Learning from Brett and his guests has really accelerated my learning. Highly reccomend this podcast. Thanks for the great and informative content!
  • AcerMalacer
    Can you smell what Stacking Slabs is cooking?
    The f***ing man! Keep making the pod Brett, I can’t get enough 🔥
  • 4thehobby
    👍🏻
    Topics are relevant and interesting but the use of the word “like” is a bit distracting. Still a listener, just honest feedback.
  • Papabear05
    The Card Foundation
    Awesome pod for any investor or collector. 5 stars
  • schmoe50
    Great podcast
    Brett is amazing / a great host. The only criticism I would have is all the collectors that come on the hobby hustle all seeem like they brag about how well they did the last year because they collect lebron / Luka/ mahomes / Jordan/ Kobe. Would be hear from a collector who collects a second tier player or a collector that lost a ton off of speculating on a young guy that didn’t work out !
  • rybox23
    The Best
    I love Brett’s energy and passion for the hobby. I look forward to these pods each week. Keep up the good work.

    On Point
    Brett is very knowledgeable & passionate about the Sports Card industry! Great guest interviews covering current hobby topics from perspectives outside the box.
  • JJCTHE1
    Stellar hobby content
    As the title states excellent hobby content. Brett is very knowledgeable of the hobby and has excellent resources. One of my fav podcasts
  • Midnight McPhee
    Unique podcast about Trading cards and worth your time
    Has a great attitude, talks about all kinds of cards. Seems to be knowledgeable about the sports he covers. He also talks about all aspects of the hobby as well. Good for collectors and “investors”. My only complaint is that he uses the word “like” a lot, sometimes 2-3 times in one sentence. Otherwise, everything else about his show is great. He has indirectly inspired me to focus my efforts recently. 5 stars
  • @thereal27guy
    Contagious Optimism
    Everyone loves Brett and I’ll tell you why. He is seriously one of the most positive and optimistic people in the hobby. I don’t collect all the same things he does but I listen to every episode. Keep doing your thing, Brett!

    Unlike every other podcast that says buy our products to learn knowledge. They encourage you to do the work yourself and not pay.
