Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

1119 - Nine Listener Questions 2.0

Crammed nine different sports card hobby questions into this one 15-minute episode.  Please let me know if you prefer longer treatments on these kinds of topics.

1118 - Ramblings with Mike Obert and Alex Oswiecinski 3.0

I distilled our 90-minute lunch into three 12-minute episodes.  This is the last segment, after which I gave them a tour of my card wall and card sorting area.

1117 - Do Kids Have an Edge?

Do kids have an advantage at a card show with their youthful energy and winsome salesmanship?  I explain why I think they do, especially if they lean into learning mode. 

1116 - Ramblings with Mike Obert and Alex Oswiecinski 2.0

Alex and Mike run their own companies and meet regularly with other peers to discuss their businesses.  However they came over here to mainly talk about the sports card hobby.

1115 - Ramblings with Mike Obert and Alex Oswiecinski

Mike and Alex came over for lunch and we spent an hour and a half talking about the hobby - I know Mike from his excellent work at the company many years ago, but Alex is a new friend and an advanced collector of autographed rookie cards. 

1114 - More on 1948-49 Leaf Baseball with Brian Kappel, Part 3

The final installment but still perhaps not the last word on this set - but we're getting closer and closer to understanding what was going on in 1948 and 1949.

1113 - Ramblings with Rich Klein 7.0

1112 - 2022 UD Skybox Metal Universe Champions

Opened a box of this beautiful multi-sport product compliments of Upper Deck - retro works for new especially when modern touches are added.
