Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

Thanks Val and Logan - rarely do I get so much new material (and never-before-asked questions) from my guest appearances on other shows - look forward to coming on again! 

Danny had lots of questions for me and since it was his show he asked away - enjoyed his quick wit and penetrating questions - thanks Danny.

Type card collecting has been a huge part of my collecting experience over the decades - yes, even Nascard, Indy, and F1, I pursued them all in hopes of cataloging everything eventually.

Broke a box of this year's hockey - thanks Upper Deck - as always my audio set reviews are a reflective combination of my past, present, and future thoughts.

On December 4th at the Winter Meetings the Contemporary Era Committee will vote on which if any of the eight finalists will make the Hall of Fame - I make my case for two superstars with unimpeachable statistical cases.

Tamer's background is in music - I love music too, and we both love sports cards - we draw on some of the similarities and structures common to both - thanks Tamer.

Val Marz and Logan Ward had me on as a guest on their Nascard Radio show last month and their racing-centric hobby approach led to some new questions which I appreciated - and enjoyed - thanks. 

I give a shout out to my brother who has a Thanksgiving birthday and had a place in my hobby journey - plus an important announcement about the future of this podcast.

The final part of my conversation with Jade involved analytics of recent rookies and the wisdom to know when to sell promising but unproven rookies.

Kyrie and Twitter have both been front page news lately - they are connected in that Twitter "says" Kyrie is the most hated player in the NBA - how does that negativity affect his card values and card sales?
