The Art of Collecting with @Spinotron (EN) - Part 1/2 | Episode 165

In Part 1 of our in-depth conversation with Spinotron, one of the
most respected high-end collectors in the hobby, we explore the
origins, mindset, and philosophy behind building a world-class
collection. Spino shares how his journey began in Beijing in the
late 90s, how Kobe Bryant shaped his early collecting identity, and
why his approach today blends passion with strategic asset
management. We discuss what truly defines rarity, how serial
numbers and print eras influence long-term value, and why story,
context, and cultural significance of a card often matter far more
than hype. The episode builds toward one of the most talked-about
transactions of the year: Spinotron’s acquisition of the Shohei
Ohtani Logoman 1/1. He explains his reasoning, his price
expectations, how he analyzed market history, and what was
happening behind the scenes on auction night. A must-listen for
collectors who want to understand how elite PCs are built with
intention, patience, and vision. Part 2 will follow in 2 weeks.
