Bench Clear Media | Sports Card Network

Tonight we sit down with Ezra Levine - CEO of Collectable - to discuss the evolution of the fractional sports card world. This was recorded LIVE on the Bench Clear Media YouTube Channel. Excuse a few of the technical difficulties because it was a LIVE environment. 

Enjoy! 

Today we bring on a special guest - Frank - a Certified Public Accountant - to help answer questions around Sports Cards & Taxes!   

Email Frank any additional questions at: [email protected] (please keep it civil)
