Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

It sure seems that prices are fluctuating faster and faster lately - although mostly up.  Why is this happening?  Is there a downside? 

Ken Capell invited me and our other distinguished guests (Jason Granet, Jordan Hagedorn, Jeremy Lee and Mike Sommer) to weigh in on his dilemma, of how, where, and when to sell his 1993 SP Jeter RC in RCR 9.

Elgin Baylor was one of the greatest players I ever saw - he has surprisingly few basketball cards to chase, but well worth the pursuit.

I enjoyed being on Hobby Hotline this month along with John Newman and Rich Klein - and I noticed that the recurrent theme of the week seemed to be the bold, decisive judgment of some of the key players in our industry - that were headline grabbing. 

Rich and I continue our discussion, as it seems there was more to the story than what we could fit in our standard episode size.  Your ideas for episodes?  Try [email protected] and thanks!

Rich and I discuss why we find it enjoyable to work our way through big boxes of random cards at a show knowing all are being offered at the same price - we find we are looking for different "bargains" mostly non-overlapping.

Brian Flinn, Frank Guastella, Eddie Healy, Kevin O'Keefe, and Jim Telford took turns asking questions about the vintage sports card collecting hobby we all love.

At the virtual modern dinner, guests Ken Capell, Jason Granet, Jordan Hagedorn, Jeremy Lee, and Mike Sommer each had a thoughtful question.

Brian Flinn, Frank Guastella, Eddie Healy, Kevin O'Keefe, and Jim Telford join me for an interesting discussion of what vintage may be or even look like in say 20 years.
