Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

Rob saved the tour of the warehouse (a short block away) for last - one of the Seven Wonders of the Collecting World - the numbers are impressive but the organization even moreso - well done Rob!

I spent the whole afternoon at Burbank Sportscards, never a dull moment with Rob and all the customers and staff - the place was hopping on a Friday afternoon - I'll be back!

I visited Burbank Sportscards - I had been meaning to for twenty years - since my last personal visit had been to their previous smaller location - super impressive - a must stop-in if you are Southern California - thanks for the hospitality Rob!

I have attended every National Sports Collectors Convention and have fond memories of all, but certainly there have been highlights ... and the National is trending!

The last five weeks of daily episodes summarized - upon further reflection for some of them - always eager to hear which episodes you enjoy the most as it does not always correlate with listener stats - thanks!

John interviewed me for his excellent show focusing on the earliest annual National Sports Collectors Conventions beginning in 1980 with the first one - thanks John!

Collectable is piecing together a history of the National Sports Collectors Convention - I enjoyed my conversation with Ezra about the many high points over the years.

Ezra interviewed me for Collectable's series, "Road to the National", since I have attended all 42 Nationals - this is an excerpted part, audio only - but you are encouraged to check out the whole series on their website or channel - thanks Ezra.

My fifth round of accumulating eight listener questions related to sports cards - keep them coming - send them to [email protected] and thanks!

I give ten thoughts about the upcoming National Sports Collectors Convention in Atlantic City and detail my preparation for it - hope to see you there!
