In this episode, Bryan and Scott break down a wild Chinese Grand Prix where Kimi Antonelli scores his maiden F1 win, edging out teammate George Russell in a statement drive for Mercedes. From there, the guys jump into a This or That segment featuring both drivers—comparing similarly valued cards in the hobby and talking through which ones they'd rather stash, chase, or move.
To close things out, Bryan revisits a monster pull from a recent break: the Padparadscha 1/1 2025 Topps Chrome Sapphire #100 Charles Leclerc Monaco Grand Prix Winner. He walks through his real‑time thought process on what to do with a card of that magnitude—PC it, consign it, grade it, or test the market.
