Smashing BIN: Waking up at 3:30 AM Has It's Advantages with Kyle (@mcgrathcards)

Stacking Slabs

What happens when preparation, routine, and opportunity all collide at 3:30 AM?

In this week’s episode of Smashing BIN, I sit down with my brother Kyle (@mcgrathcards) to break down the moment he smashed BIN on one of the most coveted Peyton Manning cards in the hobby—2006 Topps Finest Gold Xfractor /10.

We talk about:

• His early morning routine that gives him a BIN edge
• Why this card was the one he was chasing
• The psychology behind hesitation, excitement, and pulling the trigger
• What happens after a grail enters your collection
• Navigating value, sentiment, and “not for sale” mindsets
• The hunt for his next white whale: 2013 Gold Prizm Reggie Wayne

Plus, we hit on big recent BINs:

• Tyrese Haliburton White Sparkle PSA 10
• Caitlin Clark’s Prizm Throwback Auto
• Bo Jackson’s ’87 Leaf PSA 10
• Rory McIlroy’s SP Authentic Limited Auto after the Masters

This episode is about timing, instinct, and the pride that comes with owning something truly rare.
