Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

When I spent the afternoon at Burbank, we kept the cameras and recorders rolling covering a variety of sports card hobby subjects - this segment was derived from a longer Instagram Live, which you should see on Rob's channel.

I got many responses and comments on past episode #761 - lots of strident opinions - appreciate the candor - let's be constructive to improve our sports card hobby 

One of my consultant friends sent me the top ten reasons leaders fail - to be honest I did not get a perfect score - a cautionary note to other leaders in our great sports card hobby.

Rob saved the tour of the warehouse (a short block away) for last - one of the Seven Wonders of the Collecting World - the numbers are impressive but the organization even moreso - well done Rob!

I spent the whole afternoon at Burbank Sportscards, never a dull moment with Rob and all the customers and staff - the place was hopping on a Friday afternoon - I'll be back!

I visited Burbank Sportscards - I had been meaning to for twenty years - since my last personal visit had been to their previous smaller location - super impressive - a must stop-in if you are Southern California - thanks for the hospitality Rob!

I have attended every National Sports Collectors Convention and have fond memories of all, but certainly there have been highlights ... and the National is trending!

The last five weeks of daily episodes summarized - upon further reflection for some of them - always eager to hear which episodes you enjoy the most as it does not always correlate with listener stats - thanks!

John interviewed me for his excellent show focusing on the earliest annual National Sports Collectors Conventions beginning in 1980 with the first one - thanks John!
