The Hobby is so back, baby or is it?
Morning, Collectors. After the dramatic post-COVID crash, the card market is officially back, says Will Stern from cllct, and in ways that may prove more sustainable than the stimulus-fueled frenzy of 2020–21. While million-dollar sales have resumed (nine already in 2025), the real story is broader: record-breaking online volume ($308M in July), a surge in mid-range and base card sales, product innovation like the Rookie Debut Patch, the emergence of new superstars (hello, Caitlin Clark), and major players like Sotheby's, GameStop, and Fanatics making aggressive moves. Stern even mentions that the hobby has its own social network now called Mantel, which sounds amazing and everyone should check out! COUNTERPOINT! Darren Rovell, also of cllct, worries that we might be headed towards a bear market, stating that the current market is showing all of the signs of a bubble. Hype, speculative buying, irrational price increases, lack of fundamentals… So which is it? We're always optimistic here at Mantel, but we'll wait until things shake out and then come back here to tell you we predicted the world correctly all along. Stay tuned! The Athletic: Controversial Little League Bat Flip is Now a Collectible Pin, Bat Going to Auction Twelve-year-old Marco Rocco's controversial bat flip, which briefly led to his suspension from the Little League World Series, is now being commemorated with a limited-edition collectible pin. Only 75 'BATFLIP 2025' pins will be available for trading in Williamsport, each depicting Marco mid-flip in his No. 10 jersey. Designed in collaboration with Jeff and Todd Frazier, the pins celebrate the 75th anniversary of Haddonfield Little League and are expected to be a sought-after item among pin traders. Meanwhile, Marco's now-iconic bat will be auctioned by Goldin (Ken Goldin's son plays on the Haddonfield team… serendipity!). Robb Report: MLB Players Are Taking the Field in Vintage Van Cleef & Arpels Necklaces Van Cleef & Arpels' iconic Alhambra collection has found an unlikely but glamorous home on MLB diamonds, as players like Miguel Rojas, Junior Caminero, and Joc Pederson adopt the luxe, clover-shaped pendants as part of their game-day look. Once the domain of royalty and fashion icons, the necklaces, priced north of $9,000, are now being paired with cleats and batting gloves. Onyx appears to be the stone of choice, with its supposed protective energy adding a touch of superstition to the aesthetic. The trend evokes past player fads like the Power Balance bands (I had one and NOBODY could push my arm down when it was on!), but this time the jewelry's appeal lies more in prestige and polish than pseudoscience. NY Post: California Police Recover $30K Worth of Labubu Dolls After They Were Stolen From Warehouse A group of thieves in La Puente, CA recently bypassed cash and electronics to steal $30,000 worth of toy-of-the-moment, Garbage Patch Kids Furby Beanie Baby Labubu dolls. The Labubu, a grinning, bunny-eared oddity, has become a collector obsession, with blind boxes starting at $27.99 and rarer versions climbing past $500. One skateboarding variant sold for $10,500 last week. And of course, where there is money, there are thieves, and stories pop up near daily about major Labubu thefts. Knockoff versions called 'Lafufus' are already popping up in response. NYT: Hidden Inside Our Electronics, Tiny Doodles From Another Era This is the type of collecting story we love — an obscure category we never knew existed, with a fervent and growing community. The New York Times wrote about the hidden world of silicon art that is captivating a small group of collectors who search for 'doodles' etched into vintage microchips by engineers in the 1970s–1990s. These whimsical illustrations — smiley faces, pyramids, space shuttles, and even a Playboy bunny — were secretly embedded in unused chip space as a form of creative expression and personal signature. Though never intended for public discovery, the doodles are now being unearthed through a combination of technical skill, detective work, and a bit of hardware archaeology. With modern chip design no longer allowing such flourishes, collectors are racing against time to preserve these hidden relics of the analog era.

Lucid Motors Is Caught in a Tariff Trap. Is LCID Stock More Likely to Hit $1 or $7 in 2025?
Electric vehicle (EV) stocks have had a turbulent run over the past year, as production delays, rising costs, and shifting trade policies shake up the sector. This time, Lucid Group (LCID) now finds itself caught in a 'tariff trap,' with newly imposed duties cutting into margins and forcing management to lower its production outlook despite posting record deliveries. Management now guides for 18,000-20,000 vehicles produced in 2025 and revealed a $54 million tariff hit that pushed its gross margin deeply into the negative. Executives say localized sourcing should blunt the pain, but volatility remains.

Should You Buy BLSH Stock? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. So which way for LCID in 2025: A collapse to $1 or a rebound to $7? About Lucid Stock Based in California, Lucid Group is an electric vehicle maker focused on premium, long-range EVs. Best known for the Lucid Air sedan, the company builds vehicles at its Arizona facility and targets the luxury EV market as a rival to Tesla (TSLA). Recently, Lucid's growth story has been clouded by production tweaks and tariff-driven margin pressure. With a market cap near $7 billion, Lucid's shares have lagged the broader market over the past year, falling 22.5%. Despite underperforming, LCID faces a challenging valuation landscape. Its trailing EV-sales ratio is 9.4x, significantly higher than the sector median of 1.28x, indicating a very expensive stock compared to its peers. However, the price-book ratio of 2.12x is slightly undervalued compared to the sector median of 2.69x. Lucid Misses Q2 Earnings Estimate Lucid Group shares slid 9.7% on Aug. 6 after the EV maker missed Wall Street's Q2 2025 expectations for both revenue and earnings. The company posted a loss of $0.24 per share, falling short by $0.22, while revenue rose 29% year over year to $259.4 million, missing estimates for $283.2 million. Despite delivering a record 3,309 vehicles in the quarter, headwinds from tariffs and a trimmed production outlook weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Tariffs alone shaved $54 million off quarterly results, hitting the gross margin by 21 percentage points and leaving it deeply negative at -105%. Management said these pressures were anticipated and outlined plans to blunt the impact through localized sourcing, vertical integration, and cost optimization. Looking ahead, Lucid lowered its 2025 production guidance to 18,000-20,000 vehicles, down from the prior 20,000 target, and trimmed its capital spending forecast to between $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion. On the strategic front, Lucid is doubling down on partnerships. A newly announced collaboration with Uber (UBER) and Nuro aims to develop a premium robotaxi platform, supported by a planned $300 million Uber investment pending regulatory approval. The deal could see 20,000 Lucid Gravity vehicles deployed over six years, marking a major push into autonomous mobility. To boost brand awareness ahead of its midsize EV launch, Lucid also named actor Timothée Chalamet as its first global ambassador. While near-term profitability remains elusive, management is betting that its technology edge, disciplined capital allocation, and brand-building initiatives will pay off in the long run. What Do Analysts Think About Lucid Stock? After Lucid's Q2 print, Bank of America reiterated an 'Underperform' rating and kept a $1 price target, pointing to the hefty tariff hit and severe margin pressure as the main concerns. Robert W. Baird trimmed its price target to $2 from $3 while maintaining a 'Neutral" rating, citing the company's pulled-back 2025 production guidance and the resulting uncertainty for near-term profitability. Overall, Wall Street has taken a cautious stance on Lucid Group, with many firms assigning a 'Hold' rating. The stock is trading near a mean price target of $2.76, but the Street's wide range, a $1 low and a $7 high, issued by Ladenburg Thalmann, shows it could swing sharply either way. With tariff headwinds and a trimmed production outlook, downside risk looks more probable in the near term, though successful cost cuts or localized sourcing could push the shares toward the high case.
