Geoff Wilson's "Sports Card Investor" podcast published an excellent episode in December 2020, entitled "20 Things New Sports Card Investors Must Know".  I recommend listening to his episode first.  Then I did an episode (#126 on January 9, 2020) briefly commenting on (and generally affirming) his list.  This current show is our face-to-face discussion of how much we agree as well as the nuances of any disagreements, including the semantic and intended interpretation of "must".
