Bill Simmons admits that he's a basketball card collector
On the 5/25/22 episode of The Ringer, during his interview with Jalen Green, he casually lets slip that he's enthusiastic about collecting basketball cards. Makes me see his NBA Trade Value List and other commentary in a different (less altruistic) light. Curious what his eBay handle is now. It sounds like he buys a lot of Antman cards. Just to clarify, this podcast was a few weeks after the episode where he said "f*ck Jalen Green." Also note that Bill Simmons is a billionaire (ie, one of the richest men in the collecting universe).

He’s been talking about collecting cards for years. During the spike he was talking about it so much he eventually spun off Sports Card Nonsense with Mike Gio. How are you trying to pass this off as new information?

He's also not even close to a billionaire... unless you don't realize how much a billion dollars is

He’s been into cards for years. He was also a board of director at Topps for a long time

He had a picture on Instagram of his living room with a box of 03-04 Topps Chrome on the table.

Bill has been collecting, writing about, and talking about cards for years.
He has joined our podcast 5 times in the past year to strictly talk cards. Absolutely insane collection.

You should have him on for a segment where he shares his 10 favorite cards or something like that. That would be a fun episode! |
