Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

Dane and I don't seem to run out of questions for each other.  I am curious about his Dynasty Breaks business and he wants to know about the good old days of Beckett Publications.  Thanks Dane.

Rich and I break down the various Pacific hockey products that year: Aurora, Crown Royale, Dynagon Ice, Pacific (their flagship), and Paramount.  Unfortunately missing info were Omega and Revolution.  Thanks Mike Cramer!

Kin and I trade questions about the sports card hobby we have both pursued intensely for many decades - thanks Kin!

Dane Coenen of Dynasty Breaks is back for a third round of Dueling Questions with me about the sports card hobby and more specifically the business aspects.  Thanks Dane!

Hobby icon and pioneer Bob Lemke has been gone (but not forgotten) for the past five years.  We discuss his three huge contributions to the growth of our great hobby.

Rich Klein introduced me to Ryan, who has had a long-time special interest in 1987 Topps baseball cards - which is apparently shared by many who follow him - find out why?

Rich and I review and explain the Pacific official production and distribution spreadsheets for the following 1998 Pacific football sub-brands: Aurora, Crown Royale, Omega, Paramount, and Revolution.  We were surprised and you probably will be too.

Popular player and coach, Dan Reeves has passed away, due to complications with dementia - his rookie card is a proud member of my Card Wall of Fame for my visitors to see and have memories evoked.

John Clemens, veteran 1957 Topps baseball collector, minor league PA announcer, and all-around good guy passed away a few weeks ago from Multiple Myeloma.  Our condolences to his family - he is missed!

TS has worn many hats in this hobby/industry - many know him as the former editor of Sports Collectors Digest - but we first recognized him for his self-published artistic set of Baseball Greats from 1983 - Thanks TS and thanks Rich!
