Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

955 - Upper Deck Hockey Box Battle Insights

I did a fantasy tournament of four different Upper Deck hockey boxes evaluating each by non-standard criteria as befits an audio podcast - thanks Upper Deck!

954 - Five Listener Questions 6.0

Five more listener questions and comments some from late last year as I got behind in responding, but please keep your questions coming, send them to doctorjamesbeckett@gmail.com and thanks again.

953 - Five Listener Questions 5.0

You would not think a funeral is a place where sports card hobby questions come up but there are exceptions ... and exceptional people.

952 - 1966 Topps Baseball

Rich and I followed up our discussion of the previous two years with this much tougher offering from Topps, challenging primarily due to the difficulty of the high numbers in this set.

951 - Tribute: Chandy Greenholt, Season Ticket, with Rich Klein

Longtime respected National dealer from North Carolina, Chandy Greenholt has passed away - he will be greatly missed by Rich, myself, and so many others - he was our friend.

950 - Recap: Podcast Episodes 924-948

Getting closer to 1,000 episodes!  This has been fun.  If you have episode suggestions, send to doctorjamesbeckett@gmail.com and thanks!

949 - Cards I Should Have By Now

This episode is inspired by John Keating's new podcast of that same name - I have my own list of cards (not just baseball) I should have gotten by now and I share my lament with you.

948 - 1964 and 1965 Topps Baseball, with Rich Klein

Rich and I compare and contrast these two unremarkable mid-decade Topps baseball products.  Nevertheless we find interesting aspects to share about each of these sets.

947 - Near Death Experiences

Near Death Experiences discussed in terms of how you "hobby" when death is nearer, but perhaps not imminent.  Every year I am simplifying, and you should too if you are close to my age.

946 - Out-Takes from That Seventies Card Show, with John Keating, Part 2

The final portion of our longer conversation about the hobby with his particular emphasis on the Seventies - thanks John for an enjoyable ride through that decade, my favorite decade for collecting!
