I’ve been teasing a new newsletter for a while, and it’s finally here.
Introducing Hobby Headlines!
It’s simple: every weekday I send a FREE newsletter to your inbox with the prior day’s news, and it will take you around two minutes to keep up on hobby news.
Monday’s newsletters will cover the headlines from Friday through Sunday.
I’ll try to also include a link to a YouTube video or social media post that I found interesting.
Want to see it in action? Here’s Friday’s edition.
Why am I doing this?
The links section of my weekly newsletter has consistently been the most popular part of the newsletter. I’ve been thinking for the better part of a year how I can solve this.
This weekly newsletter will continue to exist, but it will be pared down a bit.
What are you waiting for? Join well over 100 people who have already subscribed in the first few days!

Oh, Geoff
Geoff Wilson did a video on his Sports Card Investor channel where he opened a PSA-slabbed 1970 Topps wax pack. There were four duplicate cards and Geoff believed the pack to be repacked / resealed. After this realization, he never mentioned the PSA connection again.
I tweeted this, and Geoff responded:
I took his “of all people” comment to mean that he respects me. 😄
This guy made the best point before I could:

👻 Brief Horror Movie Review of the Week
I decided to finish the series and watched the final Purge movie, The Forever Purge. The series never lets up, and is consistently watchable.
3 out of 5 stars.
Looking forward to the sixth entry in the series!
