Endless Hobby Drama + Legality of Shill Bidding + Legal Update w/ Paul Lesko

Joe Poirot, Paul Lesko, Chris McGill, Josh Adams and host Jeremy Lee dive into another packed week on Sports Cards Live, Episode 290. The hobby drama pipeline is wide open again and we’re sorting through the biggest stories driving the conversation.

Tonight we’re tackling the latest wave of shill bidding talk, legal speculation, and the nonstop cycle of hobby chaos. Paul Lesko returns with a legal update and breaks down what the law actually says about shill bidding, what people get wrong, and where the real boundaries are.

We open the show with Joe Poirot, covering the stories and flashpoints that set the tone for the week.

In the final hour, Chris McGill brings his usual big-picture, philosophical angle to close things out, with Josh Adams adding his auction and legal perspective to keep the discussion rooted in how the hobby actually works.
