This week on Sports Cards & A Cup of Joe, Joe takes us on a nostalgic journey through the heart of the hobby... the lost art of set collecting. From the joy of building complete sets by hand to the lessons it teaches about patience, focus, and even math, Joe reminds us why the base cards still matter.

But before diving into cardboard, Joe kicks off with a powerful Veterans Day tribute, honoring athletes who served, from Ted Williams to Pat Tillman, and reflecting on the freedom their sacrifices protect.

Whether you’re a lifelong collector or just opening your first pack, this episode will rekindle your love for the hobby, inspire you to dust off those base cards, and maybe even start that set you’ve been putting off.

Tune in, get inspired, and remember - collecting is about more than the hits.
