Pepper and I talk about the early days of Beckett Publications contrasted with later days, spanning more than two decades, including the true story of the midnight disposal of damaged copies of the inaugural issue #1 of Beckett Baseball Card Monthly.  Our final story tells the true tale of Pepper's round of golf with Tiger Woods on behalf of our company.

Tracy Hackler's favorite football player is discussed - his cards, memorabilia, and peers.

We discuss Jeromy's career over 19 years at Beckett Media, culminating in his current leadership of BGS, BAS, and CBCS (their newest service with comic books).

David and I discuss the enjoyment of his career over the past twenty years at BGS, including his current role training the new potential graders coming in to help with the huge demand for grading.

Dan Dischley was the Founder, Editor, and Publisher of The Trader Speaks, the leading monthly publication in the hobby beginning in 1968.  Dan was also one of the co-founders of SABR )Society of American Baseball Research).
