In BreakerCulture Weekly EP106 -- Ty sits down with Roman -- owner of a popular cook group (you'll learn more about this in the discussion). We discuss the transition of Sneaker Heads into the Sports Card market. We also breakdown how cook groups, monitors, & bots are are being used to assist folks with buying their product. It's a CRAZY underworld within the sports card community and it will definitely lead to more questions.
The idea is to keep you informed. I'm not an advocate of this activity, but I think you need to know the reality of it!
