Collector Nation - Three Autos From One Break, $45k PSA Controversy & Bam Adebayo’s incredible 83 point game

Episode Date: March 13, 2026

In this episode of Collector Nation, Ryan Alford and Brian Ludden dive into the latest conversations shaping the trading card hobby—from real-time card market reactions to grading controversy and one unbelievable break story. The discussion begins with how big sports performances can quickly move the card market. When a player has a breakout game, collectors often rush to check their collections and list cards before the market cools. Ryan and Brian talk about how tools like collection tracking and inventory management can help collectors move fast when those opportunities appear. They also unpack a recent PSA controversy involving a high-end graded card that was reportedly damaged during the encapsulation process, sparking debate around grading companies and collector trust. The episode wraps with Ryan sharing one of the craziest hobby stories yet—pulling three Quinn Ewers autograph cards from the same case during a Whatnot break.

Hey guys, on today's episode of Collector Nation, first, Leonard Barry and I break down March Madness. Leonard is the athlete YouTube channel manager for Onit. We talked all about what Onus doing with trading cards specifically. Hey, we opened a pack of Gonzaga. Got some hits, though. You'll see that and more on the episode. We talked about all the things they're doing with player rights. And you would believe how many sports we talked about that they're doing.

And of course, March Madness coming up. up on Sunday. Brian and I dug into the latest headlines. Bamadabaggio hitting 83 points second all time. Unbelievable. When impacted the head to this cards, we talk about that. Also talked about a break that I was in. A little surprise.

Three big cards. That and more on Flex Your Nation. Then here's where it gets interesting. Then I go to the next card. The final card. Three out of the same series, the same set. Quinn's autographs. Three out of 100.

What are the odds? The odds of that. is a mistake. So I don't even know. But there's probably nobody that's seen two, much less three. Bam, out of Aizio, scored A3 points. I'd have to write this own headline. Bam!

Card that was originally graded of PSA 10, got damaged by PSA, and then PSA offered the collector only $20,000 in compensation for this error. A little fishy. Your job as a CEO is to investigate it, but they tend to never come out. They just kind of let it go. not to believe. Welcome to the Collector Nation podcast here on the Collector Nation Network. Whether you're chasing grails or calling bluffs, you take you inside a hobby.

Here are your host, Ryan Alford and Brian Lut. All right, this Sunday, we have Selection Sunday. For me, it's always, I always get excited. I'm like, I'm going to fill out my bracket. I'm going to do so good. And I don't know about you, Leonard. It very rarely goes well, that's my best. But look, I got a good luck charm.

It's on it. It's Leonard Berry. He is the head of the athlete YouTube channel at On It. What's up, brother? Hey, good to see you again, Ryan. I appreciate you having me here. I agree. I get so excited to fill out that bracket.

And I want the first one to be perfect, right? And then I like, do it and I look it over and I'm like, but what if these guys win? And I'm a Clemson fan. We're going to make the tournament for the third year in a row, which is the big news for us. So I'm excited about it from the home team. Talk to me about maybe some of the fun stuff y'all are doing with basketball or the product in general and on it.

Yeah. I mean, this, as you know, is probably one of the best times to be, like, a college sport fans. Because you have baseball and softball, really getting into the swing of things. Basketball, everybody looks forward to March Madness. College football is crazy it sounds ramping up again with spring games. Like, you have the opportunity to see your teams out there. And can't forget to, like wrestling and gymnastics are going into their winter sport championships alongside March Madness. So a lot of fun stuff there.

you said, we kind of cover it all. So we're focusing on Penn State and Ohio State wrestling as they go for national championships. You know, gymnastics, UCLA gymnastics is always one of the top. But everybody does. March Madness is what matters. Selection Sunday is coming up a few days from now. And the basketball product this year, as you've seen and as you don't, it's just so much fun. We got brand new inserts, general admission, hype. There's a lot of great signatures in there. And I just love the opportunity to kind of connect with some of these guys who I see on the court and who I'm going to be hoping will lead me to a perfect bracket, be able to know that they signed one of my cards that I'm bowling here. So if you didn't know, you need to know. You have the best teams and the best players on it,

has it all again. And we're going to open some right here, Gonzaga. They used to be the Cinderella team, Leonard. I'm just not buying that anymore. Dan Hurley has it going on. There ain't no Cinderella team no more. No, they're definitely not. I mean, it's kind of crazy. you to think about like the run that Gonzaga has been on, you know, these past 20 years. They just won the WCC championship again this week. They're going to be in Pack 12 next year. I think that's going to be probably the weirdest change. Like now you're going to have Gonzaga in what's supposed to be a premium conference. So it's cool to see the Zags get the recognition they deserve. And I wouldn't be shocked to see them in the final four again this year,

especially behind guys like Braden Huff or Graham, EK, who, you know, appear in the product. Like you said, some of the best players that we'll see on the court here very soon. Yeah, well, we're going to see them even sooner as I go for a 101 here. And look, here it is. Here's how I was going to go. You send me some comments. We might send you some cards. We'll raffle off something.

We'll do something fun with the best picks. I'm opening the Gonzaga cards. We're looking for that Braden Huff, Braden Smith. Jaylon Worley, high on Grant Foster, you know, to name a few. This is the value pack. You get 40 cards, 10 cards in each pack, four packs. Hey, this is looking premium, my friend. It just feels premium.

All right. Here we go. Right on the top. Braden Smith. It's one of the better players. Stephen Venters. There's another one of the better players. Ty on Grant Foster.

Coming in. Noah. Up, I see. But looks like is that. Ooh, there's a blackout. Very nice. Nice little blackout right there. Yeah.

I would call that a velvet swayed. Yeah. I'm a marketer. I'm a marketer, Leonard. But that's how it feels to me. The texture is very suede-like. Well, I got another refractor of some sort here. It's kind of shimmer.

Oh, yeah. So that's the orange shimmer there. So that's the value box exclusive. You can't find that orange parallel in a single pack or platinum box. You're only going to get those in your value boxes there. So if you're trying to do the rainbow, you want that orange shimmer. You're going to get it from either opening your own value box or somebody else opened one and you buy it off of them. And then.

Cap his colors. Yeah. Another nice little base insert there. And then. This guy. Yeah, Graham, E.K. on the fusion. So that's another pretty common insert. We have two colors of fusions, and then there's also a 101 version.

So there'll be one that's like a team color blue, and then there's also that white one. And then there's a premium as well, which is a 101. Wow. That's only one pack. I'm like, hey, there's three more here. All right, let's see who we got. I'm going to pick up the pace. Yeah.

Oh, there's some kind of insert. Yeah, that's hype. So that's one of the brand new inserts. This year. That looks gorgeous. Let's see here. Oop. Got a aqua.

Yeah, that's a teal insert. So people in our TikTok comments will get on me about pulling too many teals. They don't like to see the teals. It's too common of a parallel. Yeah. And there's. Little Brainsmith fusion too. I'm liking the color.

Lots of color variation here on the table shining at me. Daylon Worley. Oh, another blackout. Nice. That does feel nice to the hand. I got to admit it. Oh, another orange shimmer. We got one pack left, right?

Last tag magic. So auto or is there another hit? Like, that would be obviously any autograph. Oh, look there. Okay, that's fresh. That looks cool. There you have it. And I'll tell you this for a value box, that felt like a lot of value.

The number of variations, the blackout, the Shweigh premium. I'm digging it, man. But opening these cards makes me, like, want to collect Gonzaga cards. Because the cards are cool. Like, I'm like, I kind of want to get whatever I did. get, you know, like I'm kind of, I'm now curious for the best Gonzaga player cards. So I guess that's the best compliment I can give. Well, we appreciate it. And I mean, that's what we're all about, you know, connecting fans to athletes, you know, through these collectibles, through these cards. Like,

that's what we're really all about. It really is more about, like, the personal connection that you can make with players, as you know, being so close to a major university, you can get to know those guys a lot better than you could ever get to know an NFL team or an NBA players. So that's kind of where we come from. That's our background and we think that that's important that shines through in our packs and in everything we do. We really appreciate it, Leonard. And hey guys, as it's March Madness here, hopefully your bracket's still intact, depending on when you're listening, if it gets this before, the tournament starts on Monday. Good luck. And look, go check out on it. You can see them at one of your local retailers. We're going to have them at Collector Station.

We're going to be talking about it here on Collector Nation. Fantastic product, doing great things and only getting better. We really appreciate on it. We really appreciate you. What's up guys? Welcome to Collect Your Nation. Brian and Ryan here on a Friday the 13th, 20, 26 of March. The most weird way I've ever said the date, Brian, but I got it out. What's up? Spooky stuff. That was your spooky voice. That was my spooky voice. How's Chicago, my friend? It was 70 degrees on Monday and now it's snowing today. So that is Chicago weather. Yeah, especially in March, right? Yeah, March for sure. especially in the city itself is with the lake,

it really doesn't get that warm. So if you get a east breeze off the lake, the city could be 55 in the suburbs, 15 miles away could be 75. So until the lake warms up in June, then it kind of stabilizes. So it's like an air conditioning. But we're in the dead.

We went dead summer. You know, we didn't get any, we didn't get spring. I think we're going to get it. I think it's coming back in this weekend, the 60s, but we went straight. It's like 82. It feels like, the real feels like 98 here. Wow.

Not really, but it's hot and South Kakalaki, as we call it. And speaking of being hot, bam out of Bijio scored 83 points. We recorded us a little bit ahead of the Friday. So it was last night for us, you know, so bam. I mean, kind of writes it. headlight, bam. He said he had 49 free throws. He was 43 of 49, I believe.

He made over 40 free throws. And his old high score, I think, was 41. So he beat his career high score on the free throw line. Yeah. I mean, let's be honest. He was playing the Washington. What's the, what's the team that travels with the Globetrotters and loses every game?

Washington Generals. He was playing the Washington Generals. I mean, you know, let's see honest. But I don't care if he was playing a much of tomato cans, 83 points. It doesn't happen often. In fact, it's only happened one time ever more, which is Will Chamberlain. What's happened in the Lodex World this week, Brian? You know, what's kind of interesting is that that BAM is a perfect example of what we talked about.

you and I talked about last week about how important in collection management and inventory management and being able search and sort and filter through your collection. I mean, How many bams will I have? Yeah, I mean, you're like, I know I have bams, but I have no idea where they are. You just type it in. There's the cards. Tells you what location where they're at, box four, row one.

And you go grab them and you throw them on eBay. And last month, I think there was three, uh, BAM, I think it might have been 2018's PRISM, silver prism. And this month, there was like 47 transactions. So if you were able to get, you know, get yours card out and first to market and get it onto eBay quickly, you know, you made some money on those things. This is what the, hey, we preach this. And some of you have taken note and done the smart thing, download the app.

you know pay for some of your you know ultimate buy you know spitting a little too much on packs you can offset that with some quick sales and stuff you don't want we've tried to lead you to water but this is a perfect example because i did this i did this exact thing brian and we're close to having all of our stuff uh organized to get on dulax but being a store it's on the list and it's happening this week actually but i did the exact thing i went how many bams do we have because i knew we had some number of ones, but I had no idea. It's a perfect example. You're so right.

Anybody that was smart last night went into their Luddix app and went, all right, search for Bam, bring it up, hit three, four, five buttons on eBay, boom. And you catch that wave of probably like 24, 48 hours, maybe where he, because let's be honest, I love Bam. I've always respected Bam because he does the hard stuff, rebounds, defense. he's a great he's a I would want him on my team but he's not a prolific score typically so this probably isn't gonna I don't think he's magically going to become a 40 point a night guy so it's it's lightning in a bottle so moving quick and that's what the Lodex app and collection management powers you to do yeah I mean he's a 20 point game guy so yeah this would be a blip that I would sell yeah quick

So how many scans on the average day does Lodex do? Well, on a weekend, we'll do about a million. Yeah, a million a weekend. And that's $4 million. And we'll do about $350,000 a day. So we'll be between like when it's cold out, in the wintertime, we'll do 12 million cards. And then in the summer, it's probably more like 9 to 10 minutes.

million. Jeez, Louise, the amount of data being slung around there. So again, everyone listening, if you don't do this, you should be. This is taking the Linux app. You hit the button. It says scan card. And you're scanning any of one of your trading cards, Pokemon, football, basketball, football, whatever it might be. And it puts it into scans and identifies at a high rate.

I know this. I've watched it grow like a little baby. accurate it is now. It identifying that card and the variant and all the fun stuff that's not easy but looks easy because it goes so fast. And they're doing nearly 350,000 of those

scans a day on trading cards. Unbelievable. I like to bring that back up, Brian, because I think, you know, we talk about it like every few months, but like you never know when someone news is listening. And I think wrapping your head around just how many people that is and how many

cards that is. Yeah, we did. We had 160 million cards last year. God. There's a lot of addicts out there in the hot. There's a lot. And I'm one of them. Card addicts. Yes.

A lot of cards. I'll never forget the 28,000 Tom Brady's. Oh, yeah. Is that, is it 28,000? He came, I forget how many he had, 12,000. Somewhere. 12,000. Sorry, 12,000 Tom Brady's.

He came up to the booth at the National. He's like, guess how many of Tom Brady cards I have in Lodax? And he showed me. I was like, whoa, dude. You're like, you're the one crashing our servers. Blow down, dude. Yeah, exactly. I mean, he's the data killer.

Like, you know, they put the limits. Like, I'm sure y'all do, too, like doing the crunching the numbers, the average, like, based on your fees and stuff. Like, data, hey, you know. Unlimited data, the average user is 2 gigabytes. And there's always Ralph who's using 3,464 gigabytes a day. He's him. That's him. 12,000 Tom Brady's and 9,000 of them base cards.

Well, the collection was worked like almost $800,000. Well, probably like one refractor rookie was like $759,000. And then the rest are that he bought like out of a pack. I don't know. Who knows? I'm sure they were spread out more than that. Tom has a lot of cards. Let's be honest. He grew up in the mecca of, you know, when things got big.

When he started, it might have been just kind of rounding up. But then that guy's not telling how many total cards he has. And he played a long time. Yeah. Dude could still be playing. It looks like. So, Bell is going to tee up this next story, mainly because there's a lot of of big words and, you know, fishy behavior going on.

All right. So there's a little PSA drama. When is there not? Didn't say that. But a 2004 Japanese space fissures doxy movie commemoration laticular card that was originally graded a PSA 10 got damaged by PSA during an encapsulation process that reduced it to a PSA 6, and then they, which sold, which PSA 10 sold for around $45,000 in February by PSA themselves.

And then PSA offered the collector only $20,000 in compensation for this error. Hmm. That sounds like a mystery here. Yeah. It sounds like a disease, first of all. Not a good. Three words I love, commemoration, lenticular encapsulation. Three of my favorites, especially in what's spelling me.

Yeah, I don't even know what the mean. Yeah. Anyway, it all adds up to a little fishy. I mean, I just would think they got enough going on to want to take this on. You know, like, you've bought two of your competitors who got away with it where no one else would have. You're kind of rocking the boat, increasing prices. And it makes sense with supply and demand. And I've already explained my opinion on that.

But you kind of got a little bit of this negative air blowing about you. Why even bring this on? Well, I guess we have to ask ourselves, like, where is that? Like, who's doing? Who has the power to do that, first of all? So if it's a guy running, you know, know, his little division of the buyback stuff and the guy makes, you know, 80 grand a year, I can see him being motivated to do stuff like this.

Yeah. It's coming from the top, from a multi-billion dollar company, they're not flipping cards for 10 grand. I mean, in 20 years. It's just, so it could be like more of an inside job that, you know, that Nat and the team don't know about. But when it gets out there, your job as a CEO is to investigate it. come up with a conclusive this is what happened. This is how it happened or this is false, but he should come out with something.

But they tend to never come out. They just kind of let it go. You don't know what to believe. And allegedly, they tried to get the guy to sign a confidentiality agreement with said $20,000. A little more fishy. I'm sure they did. It didn't work.

They really? Yeah. I just, we need some good. They need to donate to charity or something. Like the PSA, you know, feeding the hungry award or something.

You know, like they need some PR here. Danish control. They mean like, like some youth youth groups and give them some tens and let them have some fun. Yeah. And you need some influencer marketing like to seed the market.

Oh, no, they're not that bad. They're actually really good people. They actually upgraded my eight to a 10, you know, for no reason. And it gave me more money. Like we need some of this news to go the other way, right? Yeah, you got to do it the other way. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, in other news, One Piece cards alone saw PSA grading increases about 700% six months. Wow. The promos already selling for five-figure prices. So, I mean, there's no denying the power of them in the secondary market. I don't even know. I mean, I don't know anything about those things. Do you? Yeah.

We had asked for it. We have a few options in the store, the collector station, here in easy. South Carolina. But we're getting, we get requests. There's a lot of requests for that and magic cards. Magic. Quite a bit.

And it's not surprising that that entails then grading increases because, again, grading is just, it's so much more in the vernacular now. Like, I'll say this, Brian, every other customer that comes in brings up grading.

Oh, I was going to get this grader. or do y'all grade, do you all grade, do y'all send cards off? I mean, like, I don't know. I'd probably actually say 75% of every customer that walks in the store. Brings up grading on some level. I mean, it's part of it's, I mean, it's, it's, it's probably the most, one of the most important things in this industry.

Yeah. You know. It's just fine. It was nothing. I mean, it was not even part of the industry in 1990 when I first, you know, finishing collecting. And also like the magic community. They don't love their cards graded.

And so One Piece is more like, is there a gameplay with One Piece? Yeah, there is. But it's magic. All about that, the cartoon, anime, sorry, not a cartoon. I know what it's called. Don't want to eat mail from your One Pieceers. I know what it is. I actually appreciate the artwork.

It's pretty nice. It's a little racy at times. You know, catch a bell over there, flowing through packs. and say, hey, you know, like, could you do that after hours? But other than that, yeah, there's a, the magic people, they actually want to use them to play the game more than any other gameplay that I've seen. Yeah, if you saw the cards, you'd understand why.

Top's heritage baseball, uh, using, uh, world's greatest year style retro design, uh, continuing the nostalgia driven heritage line that appeals to both modern, and vintage collectors. I think we talked about it last week. There's just so many players. You know, and then you go to Bowman draft, you go to Bowman First.

It's like, I mean, it's so hard to make the major leagues. And yeah, I mean, I like collecting baseball cards and I like watching it. I kind of like collecting it

when they become real big leaguers. Yeah, I agree. Have you heard this story? Did we tell you this? Yes, I heard it and it's insane. I mean,

you have to end with this. Yeah. So it's, I think it will, was last Thursday, Wednesday or Thursday of last week. And I haven't bought into what not in a while. I used to, like everyone else, probably buy into too many breaks and like, all right, I'm in six breaks right now.

I'm not sure which I'm going to watch, but, you know, it was fun. So I decided, hey, we'll buy in a little bit here and see, get a little action going. So there was a prison. It was choice, I believe, prison choice. It's a single pack. Prism, 2025 football. So you get a single pack in the box and they were open the case. So 12 box case.

So 12 total packs being open. It's a heater box. I mean, it's fun. A lot of numbered cards. It's got the cherry blossom. Every major nebula was like the big hit. And I did random player on the wheel. It was like 300 players.

And I got Stevenson, the running back. from the Patriots, good player, but not an exciting pickup. Let's be honest. And I got Quinn Ewers. Again, showed to promise at the end of last year, a little unproven,

not sure what's going to happen with him, but might be starting next year. His cards have a decent value because he played at Texas, and I think there is a fair amount of people that think that he might ultimately be a starter in the league, if not there, somewhere else. So I get those two guys,

and let's just say I fell asleep before I could watch the break. It gets late, man. These guys do it. They're just going late. Offord's got to sleep. And I fell asleep had no idea. But I had those two guys. I'm like, how good or how bad could it be?

And, you know, if you've done whatnot and you're listening, you know that they don't send you who you got. You either watch that or you don't or you go back and look at the video receipt, which is never the right time and moment. You have to watch like 30 minutes to see. what you actually got. It's dumb, but I guess it's something. So I didn't do that. I just said, whatever comes in the mail, it'll be like Christmas morning. Let's just say, I'd even forgotten that I'd even bought into the break. So I think I spent like, it's a little under 100 bucks for both.

And to get Stevenson and yours, not very exciting. I'm not expecting to make my money back. I'll just say that. No, that's why you went to bed. That's why I went to sleep. So, look, We'll start with, I got a Stevenson card. It was an out of 14. We're a team. I'm about as good as you could do. You know, other than like a cherry blossom or something ridiculous, like probably as good as you could do for him, like $20-30 card. It gets interesting with Quinn Ure's.

First card that's in the pack was this one that I'm holding up, a silver, Quinn Ure's prism, which is actually, I believe, like 15 bucks or something, 15, 20 bucks. somebody's going to DM me and say, no, that's $7. Okay, fine. Whatever it is, it's not terrible, but obviously not a, didn't make up that $85, $9, whatever, the exact number, somewhere in that range, plus tax. Then here's where it gets interesting. The next card, holding this up, you need to be watching, hopefully you can see it. We'll zoom in, something like that, post-production. It's an autograph when yours.

And it's like a scope. I don't know the exact parallel. silver scope or something not the mouthwash and it was a one out of a hundred oh wow okay and it was 100 out of 100 so it's like hey

wow I got an auto that I know enough to know that that was probably like 80 bucks though it turns out it's right around 150 or a $50 card hey made more than what I spent okay there's still more cards though proceed to seek

card behind that it's another when you're autograph in the same case, the same card. Oh, my God. I almost hit jersey number. It's 14. Excuse me,

16. His jersey number is 14. I hit 16 out of 100, the exact same parallel. I'm like, what are the chances do you get two autographs? Then I go to the next card, the final card.

Three out of the same series, the same set, Quinn Ewer's autographs. $350, $350, $5,000, Quinn Ewers autographed. In the same case, three out of 100.

So 3% of the entire series are set or variations, the exact same card. You only believe this if you see it. And I'm holding them up for everybody watching. Three individual cards. We have 100 of 100. We have 16 out of 100. And we have 50, no, 060 out of 100. Yeah, I mean, you're not too far from cornering the market on those.

And then you can move the price up. I'm going to get in a few more breaks and see if I can get the other 97. But, Brian, anyone listening, what are the odds? And Bella's showing these on the camera with a really bad glare. Yep. She's trying to help, though. That's, yeah. The odds of that is a mistake.

So I don't even know. I've watched a lot of breaks. And there's a lot of people that have watched a lot of breaks. Have you ever seen someone number, get the same exact card and autograph numbered? Not a base autograph that, okay, is not numbered and there might be 20, 30,000 of them. Two of the same numbered autographs. Have you ever seen that? I bet you there's one person going maybe out of our millions and millions of people listening.

But there's probably nobody that's seen two, much less three. and here's how like I did find and went and watched the actual breaking. It had to be fun. They were hitting so many cards that were so good. And the guy was obviously just so used to the big hitters. He hit the one. He's like, hey, good hit, man. All right, thanks.

Thank you. If I'd have been on, I'd have said thank you in the caption. You know, I've written it. Thank you for getting that card. But I wasn't on. I was Okay. So he comes up.

All right. Then he hits it like four packs later. And he hits it and he kind of pauses. But he's had, he's already every card in these packs as a hit. They're all numbered, nebulous. So I forgive him that Quinn you were standing out as an auto wasn't really that big of news compared to the other things he was hitting.

But he kind of paused. He goes, I think that's another Quinn yours. Hey, good job, man. I'm like, okay. Cool. That's cool. double thank you he it's the like second to last pack and he's gone through so many more cards and i understood i was like at first i was expecting him to do cartwheels like couldn't believe that

he'd gotten three but he's done so many more cards he got to the third one and he goes i think we've hit three of those like and he couldn't quite remember he's gone through so many cards he's like his buddy or whoever's breaking with him he's going is that three of him and like and he wasn't looking on the back to see that it was numbered so he wasn't picking up the fact that they were all three out of a hundred. He was just seeing the auto. And so he picked up on it. He goes,

did we really get three quick? Like he kind of, he didn't make a big deal of it. But like, I think if he had looked at the back of each one of those and, and seen that they were all the same set, he would have made a much bigger deal out of it. But it was a little bit of like,

oh, God, dude, this is a rarity that you missed it. Yeah. And they got diluted a bit. You know what it had been better is if they were all the same number. Like if it was 100, 100, 100, 100, 100.

Like different ones? Three different sets or the same are the same one. Like to prove that they're actually duplicates out there. Yeah. That would be a scandal, you know. That would have been. Are these made by PSA? Sorry.

Just like, well, let's be honest. It's kind of getting to that point. That's a great. Yeah. So anyway, if you're listening and you've really seen three autos of the same player out of the same set in one case, let us know. But I have to think,

even though that's a limited, you know, that choice or is not as many as like hot, like freaking like blasterboxers or something. I still think there's probably thousands of cases of that, right? Yeah. There has to be. So to get one,

three of the 100 of the same player, mistake on the manufacturing end, but the odds, I should go play the lottery. You just did. I just won it. I won the lottery. I won the stretch ticket.

The Quinn lottery winner. Look, my fascination with this story and like that is less about like, you know, $150. It's great. Yeah, $400,500 with the card just not. Like, it's cool. Like, yeah, I'm very happy. I didn't lose money on that break. My fascination is more of the odds, like thinking through like knowing data and math, you know,

at least on some level going the percentage. percentage chance of that is so low. It should be worth more than $500. It should be, Brian. That's the point. That's the point. Can we, can someone make this worth more?

I don't know. I needed that to be like the billion dollar, you know, $50 billion jackpot that I've never played, whatever it is. The odds were much lower that you got them and the price is lower because. That's my point, Brian. Someone should award this spectacular amount of luck that I had with more than

When you were his auto cards. Yeah. My book. Oh, thanks, Brian. That makes you feel better. That's all the matters. Yeah, that's all. Brian, any final words today?
