If you've ever had to hide your gum from your own family just to survive, Episode 14 of Wicked Good Pulls is exactly what you need. This week, we go from hot-mic apologies to massive sports card grading profits and a quick detour into '90s Disney nostalgia. Here’s a breakdown of the madness from this week’s episode:
The Apology Tour
Mike tries to do something genuinely nice by shouting out one of his favorite Whatnot streamers, G-Man Sports Cards, but Matt accidentally insults the guy’s Southern accent on a hot mic. The rest of the episode is Matt desperately trying to un-cancel himself after the mishap. It's a classic WGP moment you won't want to miss!
Household Hijinks & Petty Debates
Raccoon Families
Matt and Mike vent about the “ghosts” in their houses that instantly consume any light green Orbit gum, Burt’s Bees chapstick, or healthy Yasso bars left unattended for more than five minutes. Sound familiar? You’re not alone!
The Great Litter Debate
Is spitting your gum under your car in a parking lot worse than tossing a wooden ice cream stick on the ground? We dive into the ethics of our own bad habits and try to settle this age-old question once and for all. What's your take?
The First Gem Mint 10: Paul Skenes Black Foil Rookie
Matt shares a massive win from his first card grading experience at the Carver card shop. He managed to turn a raw $20 Paul Skenes Black Foil rookie card into a pristine Gem Mint 10 worth over $170! This is why we love the sports card hobby—turning a small investment into a major profit with a keen eye for grading potential.
- Finding the Gem: Matt's sharp eye spotted a clean Paul Skenes Black Foil that he believed had serious grading potential.
- Grading for Profit: The card, initially valued at $20 raw, came back a PSA 10 (or BGS/SGC equivalent), skyrocketing its market value to over $170.
- Market Savvy: This perfect grade exemplifies the significant profits possible in the grading game when careful selection meets a strong card.
Talk about a wicked good pull!
1992 Disney Rips: A Nostalgic Trip
Joe decides to troll Matt by ripping a vintage pack of 1992 Impel Disney Collector cards live on air, sparking a wave of nostalgia over The Brave Little Tailor and Goofy. It’s a fun trip down memory lane and a reminder that collecting isn’t just about sports cards; it’s about the joy and memories cards can bring to any collector.
