Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

Karl's father only collected and completed only one baseball card set - but it was a great one - plus he kept his daily journal from 1949! 

Torsten's experience as a basketball card collector in Germany over the years was heavy reliant on his trusted Beckett magazines.

Advanced collector Anthony Nex shares his quest for completing these elusive panels, which were intended to preview the upcoming set, but were apparently discarded as there are few copies available today. 

Karl shares his family's positive story involving his dad's cards and how they were handled over the decades since the exact day they were purchased.

Brad and I discuss this difficult topic that perhaps every serious collector will eventually face.

Breaker Dane Coenen, who has appeared on this show before, kindly sent over a couple of boxes of Panini Origins for our review.

Dr. Rick and I discuss the similarities and differences between these two challenging sets, both with the allure of intriguing short prints.
