Hobby Chat with Karvin Cheung (@Karvinc)
Link to YouTube: https://youtu.be/j-ibp5QAl8k
Original Airdate: November 7th, 2020
Joining me on the channel this time will be Karvin Cheung (@Karvinc), a long-time collector, an industry veteran with a resume including Upper Deck, Panini, the creation and design for The Cup in hockey, Exquisite, and Immaculate.
Today he works on the distribution end as the Director of Business Development for GTS Sports.
He has a wealth of knowledge and experience that opens the door for a variety of insights on the current and past hobby. What does he think of the current market? What else is catching his eye?
If this is the first time you're checking out the channel thanks for watching!
For some more background on Karvin, check out his discussion with Jeremy from Sports Cards live back in April:
