A £1,200 Messi on Her First Ever Card Show | Dan, Midas Breaks | 3rd Down Pulled
transcript
show notes
This week, Ben is joined at London Card Show by Dan, the self-proclaimed better half of Midas Breaks.
Dan talks about the stage auction that went a bit off-script, what it's like being on the other side of the bidding, and the big stream with former Spurs player Jamie O'Hara. He explains why famous guests love the hobby as much as the rest of us, and tells the story of a young collector from Bermuda at her very first card show who pulled a £1,200 Messi auto on stage, and the lovely message her mum sent afterwards.
He also opens up about his Zola PC, his new collection of any card numbered 21, why the best cards are the ones with a story behind them, and how watching 3rd Down grow over five years shows what hard work and consistency can do in the hobby.
