The Art in Sports Cards: Finding Meaning in Card Design w/ Chris McGill @Chris_HOJ

Max @PutnamCards is joined by Chris McGill @Chris_HOJ, CardLadder Co-Founder and host of the HOJ Cast and The Crossover, to explore the intersection of art and sports cards: how looking at card design through a critical lens can reveal deeper meaning and enhance our appreciation of the cards themselves. Chris discusses how art movements of the past can influence our understanding of sports cards, why design can shape the way we value and interpret a card, and how collectors can approach their collections with a more thoughtful eye. They also dive into a few of Chris’s recent Michael Jordan ‘90s 1/1 pickups, including the first-ever Michael Jordan Upper Deck 1/1.
