Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

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? 

Last Saturday's Hobby Hotline is worth checking out in its entirety, but here is a snippet about autographed cards I hope you enjoy - if you have questions or comments, you can send them to doctorjamesbeckett@gmail.com and thanks.

Hobby Hotline with Danny Black, Sports Balt and Adam Palmer, Heros for Sale - we launched into a discussion of the true current and future value of Pujols' milestone home run ball.

Stephan and Angela were here on a Saturday along with Rich Klein and we had a fun afternoon of looking at and sorting cards and recording a couple of podcasts - thanks!

Tamer has his own channel and had accumulated lots of interesting hobby questions for me for this simulcast - I appreciated his thoughtful approach and hope you do too.  Thanks Tamer.

Jade had saved up a few years of questions for me some relating to COMC and others about the sports card hobby, and I, of course, had some hypotheticals for him - thanks Jade!

Card collectors and investors can be an addictive behavior with respect to their connection with sports cards - what do you do when you see a collector friend getting in too deep in terms of money or time?

Danny has had several interesting career paths outside the sports card hobby including sport teams and radio - this is our second battle of questions but perhaps not our last - thanks Danny!

Logan and I trade interesting questions about this great sports card hobby and he proposes a trade that I will not immediately accept but will consider - thanks Logan!

Football is quarterback-centric in terms of card prices - Ray Guy was the best at what he did, but not being a QB puts his card values not in disrespect, but clearly not in the upper echelon.  RIP Ray Guy.
