Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

Most of last Saturday's call-in live show centered on Albert Pujpls 700th homer the day before and what was going to happen to "the ball" and his cards.

Rich and I reminisce about base-stealer extraordinaire Maury Wills and his best cards, several of which are quite challenging - Maury made the game more exciting!

Send your questions or comments to doctorjamesbeckett@gmail.com and hopefully I can address them in a future episode - thanks!

My seventh installment of seven questions answered about the sports cards hobby and this podcast from my listening friends.

Lately on more than one occasion I have bought the whole dollar box - you bring the cards home and then the fun (and work) begins.

It's my dad's 97th birthday today - we're having dinner with him and my mom this evening - but reminded me how I came to ponder the hobby phenomenon of high numbers.

With all the recent publicity and world record prices for cards, I have seen a big uptick in friends calling me about wanting to sell their sports card collections for big bucks.

I won the lot in their latest auction and had great fun opening 60 blasters, hangers, and jumbos.  I got a big surprise in one of the packs - that's why we all love opening packs!

The third and final part of our enjoyable conversation.  Look forward to seeing him (and many of you) at the National in Chicago next summer (2023).

The final (for now) exchange of sports card hobby questions between Michael and me - we are both looking for constructive ways to make the hobby better.
