Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

David and I caught up after a busy Chicago National - and we discussed what's going on in our great industry - growing pains?

Random topics from Rich and myself - always a good time - the sixth time we have done this format - thanks Rich!

Goodwin Champions has helped me get up to speed on the secondary sports and even non-sports - there is a reason this product is recommended for ages 14 and above - thanks Upper Deck.

First time I have tried to answer nine listener questions in one 15-minute episode - keep your questions coming and thanks!

A brief recap of the past few weeks of episodes including the recent very successful National - and announcing that I am continuing after and past my episode 1000 - thanks! 

I "promised" 1000 episodes and now that milestone is here - I will keep going - appreciate your support and keep your ideas and questions coming - doctorjamesbeckett@gmail.com - and thanks! 

My thoughts a week after the most successful and largest sports card show in history - congrats to the Broggi and Berkus families?

Trimming cards deceptively is a problem - not sure how big a problem but it needs to be stopped or at least consistently recognized by all the grading companies.
