Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

788 - 1952 Topps Mantles, with Roger Neufeldt, Sports Memories

Roger is one of the very few who can say he pulled Mantle(s) straight from the pack back in the day.  He wishes he still had them, yes multiples, don't we all wish we had held!

787 - Dueling Questions with Ray and Ryan Schulte, Schulte Sports Marketing

I thought I had some interesting "what if" questions for the Schulte's - son Ryan was fearless and Ray was the voice of experience after so many years of deep involvement with major hobby events and organizations

786 - Dueling Questions with Jordan and Bob Hagedorn, For the Hobby

Jordan and I have been on each other's shows, but I had never met Bob until now - glad I did - father/son dynamics are powerful - it was great to hear their respective questions and answers.  Thanks Hagedorn's! 

785 - Dueling Questions with Rex, Max, and Owen Gotcher, Moco Sports

Lots of great questions from and for the Gotcher family - mainly about card store retailing and how they run their successful card shop in New Buffalo, MI together.

784 - Dueling Questions with Steve and Jesse Bachman

After several years of spending significant time at their National booth, I was sure they had some good questions, and they did - thanks!

783 - OG Conversation with Roger Neufeldt, Sports Memories

Roger is an old friend and veteran vintage sports card dealer who has helped many a collector complete their sets - along with some great stories - thanks Roger! 

782 - Dueling Questions, with Joe and Josh Davis, Got Baseball Cards

Around the horn with questions coming in age order - really enjoyed my time with Joe and his son Josh - and will see them in person at the upcoming National!

781 - 2021 SP Authentic Golf

I break down a box of 2021 SP Authentic Golf - literally and figuratively - got the best result in terms of autos that I have ever experienced - thanks Upper Deck!

780 - Father/Son: Jordan and Bob Hagedorn, For the Hobby

Jordan "For the Hobby" is actually "For the Bobby" as his dad Bob is dealing with colorectal cancer - thanks Bob for sharing your story and how you have positively impacted your son Jordan and his new card shop.

779 - Father/Son: Ray and Ryan Schulte, Schulte Sports Marketing

Last year was Ryan first immersion experience at the National following in his father Ray's footsteps.  At 12, Ryan has a bright future under his father's mentorship and experience as a brand advisor for many hobby and sports clients.
