Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

Dave and I discuss the legacy of recently departed Gale Sayers as well as other Chicago Bears legends.

This particular Hobby Hotline show was an hour and an half long - lots of good discussion and questions from live listeners - recommend listening to the whole show (as I do, although I enjoy being a co-host only once a month) every Saturday morning on YouTube.

Tommy LaSorda has passed away from a fatal heart attack at the age of 93, the oldest living Baseball Hall of Famer.  Tommy was colorful and a huge personality, a true ambassador for the game of baseball.

Excellent questions and comments from Jeremy Lee of Sports Cards Live, where I appeared recently - very enjoyable show every week - highly recommended. 

Geoff (Sports Card Investor podcast) and I discussed a range of hobby topics at his Holiday Virtual Show last month.

Syracuse has had three amazing HOF runners carry their number 44: Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, and Floyd Little.  John Newman shares his interactions with Floyd, the man.

Val Marz, Jeremy, and John Newman, mainstays of the Hobby Hotline call-in show, join this wide-ranging (and live) discussion about the hobby's future (which no one know incidentally!).

This iconic set was under-appreciated until it wasn't.

Great Baseball Hall of Fame knuckle-balling pitcher Phil Niekro has passed away from cancer at 81 - his cards and memorabilia have always been very reasonable compared to his excellence.

A brief recap of the past twenty episodes in case you missed any of them.  Episode ideas or suggestions can be sent to [email protected] for consideration - happy new year!
