Paul and Dave dive deep into the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, where Donald Trump secured a surprising and decisive win over Kamala Harris.

• Election Night Surprises: Despite predictions of a closely contested or delayed result, we explore how Trump clinched the victory with 312 electoral votes, examining voter turnout, especially among first-time voters.

• Economic and Immigration Policies: We dissect the key issues that swayed voters, focusing on the economy's role with a detailed look at inflation, and immigration, where the border crisis and policy failures come under scrutiny.

• The Role of Media: The episode challenges the media's depiction of Trump, discussing how narratives can influence public perception and political polarization. We question whether these portrayals align with voters' realities.

• Post-Election America: Reflecting on the immediate public and media reactions, we ponder the future of political discourse. Can the country move towards unity or will the divisions deepen?

• A Call for Dialogue: We invite listeners to engage with us, sharing their perspectives and challenging our views, aiming for a more nuanced understanding of politics beyond the echo chambers.

• Looking Ahead: What does Trump's win mean for the GOP, the Democrats, and the American people? We speculate on policy directions, potential cabinet changes, and the healing of a politically divided nation.

This exchange is with Chris Larsen, Owner of All Ball Sports Cards and More, explores his journey from being a child collector in the '90s, bonding with his father over card shows, to leaving the hobby during the "junk wax era" and rekindling his interest in 2018. This re-entry was spurred by personal life changes and his children's growing interest, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown when the hobby saw a resurgence. Chris discusses setting up his shop to fill a local void for card enthusiasts, detailing the process from location scouting to building out the space. The conversation covers the transformation of card collecting into an investment landscape, with grading cards becoming a pivotal practice, and highlights iconic cards like the 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan and the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. They delve into current market dynamics, the influence of breakers, and how the speculative nature of collecting mirrors gambling, with some cards fetching substantial sums. Chris also touches on the unique market of WWE cards and predicts ongoing innovation in the industry, particularly with Fanatics' upcoming NBA licensing. He expresses his personal desire for owning a 1952 Mickey Mantle card, symbolizing the pinnacle of collectible value, and ends by promoting his shop, offering a discount to podcast listeners.
