Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

Grant has watched his conception grow and evolve into an extremely interesting and complicated product that has wide and eclectic interest - thanks Grant!

Shwe is investigating the curious and tragic case of collector/investor Dennis Walker - his mysterious death and the whereabouts of the rest of his world-class collection after all these years (more than 30 years ago).  Thanks Shwe!

Frank (and his surviving wife Vivian) founded and ran Baseball Hobby News, a very influential publication, which Rich and I, and many others, greatly enjoyed.

I describe my auction winnings, namely a group of seven not-so-new football hobby boxes - I am a card collector, not a box collector - so I opened all the boxes! 

The last four weeks of individual daily episodes summarized along with further commentary (in case something was missed ... by me).

Shwe is a journalism student and podcaster on assignment and we had a discussion about the exciting chase (that has always been) central to the sports card hobby.

Thanks to my co-hosts (John Newman and John Keating) and the live call-ins, another robust Saturday morning hobby discussion -listen to the whole hour either live next week or on your favorite podcast app - thanks! 

Skepi (not his real name) has sent me many insightful questions about sports cards and this hobby - this episode is about the pros and cons of re-packs, for your consideration.

Ryan and I traded sports card hobby questions and answers - I think I represent the past and Ryan represents the future - but Ryan is a vintage guy at a young age and you gotta love that!

John is the co-founder of the mobile (free) card identification app, Center Stage, which is surprisingly fast, due to their clever approach - thanks John!
