Joining me again on the channel is 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 as well as 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 into 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!
