Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

Kyle's Wax Museum podcast is one of my favorite regular listens - here Kyle and I bounce basketball hobby questions off each other.

Bob Brill's Brill Report was a must-read back in the 1990's, plus Bob did so many other innovative things in the organized hobby - we hear directly from Bob about his interesting journey.

Dan Ertle shares his (non-sport and comic book) collecting story and how CBCS has blended into the outstanding Beckett Media team of graders and authenticators. 

Questions to and from Nat Turner, collector extraordinaire, and owner/CEO of PSA/Collectors Universe.

Fanatics will be taking over for Topps in 2025 as the sole licensee for the  baseball card category.  This morning on Hobby Hotline I was joined by nine other co-hosts for this live timely call-in show - an hour and a half distilled into ten minutes - check it out!

Five different and new questions from listeners accumulated and answered - send your questions to [email protected] and thanks!

These are remarks coming before and after our scheduled Basketball Dueling Questions episode (to be released shortly), which I thought were worthy of inclusion - thanks Adam! 

Huge bombshell news that Fanatics will be taking over the baseball card license from Topps in 2025 as a joint venture with MLB and MLBPA.  Major implications!

Rich and I talk about our experiences with public relations within and outside the hobby, especially our days working together at Beckett Publications long ago.

I was Jeremy Lee's guest on the first hour or so of Sports Cards Live the week before the National - this is 14 minutes excerpted from that longer live show.  Thanks Jeremy!
