The Basketball Card Podcast

Ep 44- Jim Beckett - The History Of The Basketball Beckett


Listen Later

I pick Jim's brain on his experience of nearly 60 years in the basketball card hobby.
Amongst other things, Doctor Beckett tells us-
What his first basketball card memory is.
What the basketball card section of his shop back in 1984 was like
What he remembers about his unopened 1986 Fleer box
Why Beckett basketball started when it did
Whether the marazine drove prices or the prices drove the magazine.
What he thinks about the history of market manipulation and how today compares to earlier days in the hobby.
