Geoff Wilson on the State of Sports Cards, Which MLB Cards Could EXPLODE & the $5M Cooper Flagg Card

26m | Aug 25, 2026

Adam Weinrib and Eric Cole welcome The Sports Card Investor and Cards HQ founder Geoff Wilson for a special Baseball Insiders collecting show.

Geoff breaks down Flagship Football, the MLB players whose card markets could take off with a huge postseason and the dramatic rise of Pete Crow-Armstrong’s market.

Plus, they dive into why SSP inserts have become such an important part of the modern hobby, the resurgence of iconic ’90s inserts and what Geoff would actually do if he pulled the potentially $5 million Cooper Flagg debut patch.
