We examine Topps’ digital redemption process, the use of AI inside hobby businesses, and where technology can remove friction from buying and selling cards.\nScott and Ed also take us inside Enter the Inferno, where collectors presented products built from their experiences in the hobby.\nThe future of hobby tech will not be defined by how much technology companies introduce. It will be defined by whether those tools improve the collector experience without removing the people, conversations, and search that make collecting matter.\n\nCheck out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.\nGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On Hype\nStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today\nSign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for free\nFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/MBEEY6L_Eg3XlTtfD_e6LB4wbm-JGqV-0i2jbmCO4I0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEwMDA3LzE1ODc5/MTIzMzAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
