Episode 109 – Future Watch Bargains, Social Media Shenanigans & Listener Curiosity
Welcome to The Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Show!

In Episode 109, we dig deep into the hobby’s treasure chest to uncover five Future Watch Auto rookies you can snag for under $100—because big hobby dreams don’t always need big hobby budgets.

We also take a timeout to talk about our social media adventures (and misadventures), from hobby hype trains to the occasional digital facepalm.

Plus, we field a sharp listener question that gets us thinking about where this crazy, wonderful collecting world is headed.

Equal parts fun, insight, and just enough hot take spice to keep things interesting.

Episode 108 of The Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Show!

We dive into one of the darker corners of the hobby—Trading Card Scams. From shady sellers to too-good-to-be-true deals, we break down what collectors need to watch out for to keep their hard-earned cash safe.

We also spotlight three players we’re approaching with caution in the market right now—digging into why their hobby hype might not match their long-term value.

And to top it off, we’re joined by a special guest host, bringing fresh insight, hot takes, and a whole lot of laughs.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just hanging out in the hobby, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

Welcome to Episode 107 of The Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Show!

In this episode, we welcome a true hobby friend and all-around good guy—Producer Lewi from the Hockey Cards Gongshow. If you’ve listened to their show, you already know he’s the wizard behind the curtain, the guy who keeps the podcast running smoothly while everyone else talks.

We dive into what it’s like to work behind the mic in the hockey card world and talk about how passion for cardboard can turn into full-blown podcast production madness.

We chat about collecting, content creation, the enjoyment, and whether being on a popular hobby podcast is actually as easy as it looks (spoiler: it’s not all free packs and autograph signings).

Lewi also shares his perspective on what it takes to keep hobby content fun and engaging, what inspires him in collecting, and how working on a podcast changes how you look at the hobby as a whole.

We laugh, we geek out on cards, and we pull back the curtain on what goes into making hobby content you love listening to.

So grab your favorite stack of Young Guns, put on your headphones, and hang out with us as we get to know the producer who helps keep one of the hobby’s best podcasts running like a Zamboni in mid-season form.
