The Art of Collecting with @Spinotron (EN) - Part 2/2 | Episode 166

In Part 2 of our deep dive with Spinotron, we move from pure collecting into long-term strategy. We talk about the difference between being a collector and an investor, why he still holds cards like Kobe’s first-year Prizm Gold through insane price swings, and how compounding 10x every seven years actually looked in his own PC.

We also discuss tracking your collection (spreadsheet vs. memory), authenticity and fakes in the 90s era, grading vs. serial numbering, and why eye appeal often beats a higher grade. Spino shares his views on Pokémon/TCG, what makes a truly unique collection, what annoys him most about the modern hobby, and how he sees himself in five years. At the end, he gives a first teaser on why he believes digital / blockchain cards will become a serious part of the future ecosystem.

The Art of Collecting with @Spinotron (EN) - Part 1/2 | Episode 165

In Part 1 of our in-depth conversation with Spinotron, one of the most respected high-end collectors in the hobby, we explore the origins, mindset, and philosophy behind building a world-class collection.

Spino shares how his journey began in Beijing in the late 90s, how Kobe Bryant shaped his early collecting identity, and why his approach today blends passion with strategic asset management. We discuss what truly defines rarity, how serial numbers and print eras influence long-term value, and why story, context, and cultural significance of a card often matter far more than hype.

The episode builds toward one of the most talked-about transactions of the year:
Spinotron’s acquisition of the Shohei Ohtani Logoman 1/1.
He explains his reasoning, his price expectations, how he analyzed market history, and what was happening behind the scenes on auction night.

A must-listen for collectors who want to understand how elite PCs are built with intention, patience, and vision.

Part 2 will follow in 2 weeks.
