Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

John Newman interviewed me for his Sports Card Nation podcast and he delved into my inner workings and approaches for COMC as a power seller - thanks John!

I grouped some listener questions that all had to do with some aspect of card shows - a popular topic - keep your questions coming to doctorjamesbeckett@gmail.com and thanks!

I bought three different 2003-04 basketball hobby boxes at the latest Huggins and Scott Auction - and I opened them and was shocked - this is the audio of the before and after, but I have YouTube videos posted to show it live visually.

Martin Luther King Jr. is being celebrated today in America with a holiday - how might this matter in our hobby? - here's my take on the welcomed increased diversity in our sports card hobby.

The final installment of our extended conversation about rookie cards, before Victor completes his long-awaited book, which I encourage you to get.

A year ago my parents were doing pretty well - as I look at this year coming - I want full enjoyment of this hobby I love (even as I age slowly and hopefully hold off obvious sensory decline). Optimism!

Victor and I have been talking about rookie cards for a long time - it is a subject near and dear to both of our hearts - the fact that not everyone agrees on everything is just that, a fact. 

Can't wait for Victor's book on Rookie Cards to come out - a lot of work went into it and he is almost done.  I think it's important that RC's be well-defined.  Thanks Victor.

I have five sports card hobby/industry predictions for this coming year - I don't claim to be clairvoyant, but I do sense some macro trends - enjoy and Happy New Year!

I have five broad sports card collecting related goals to share for this next year - I don't usually do numerical goals but directional goals - Happy New Year!
