Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights

Non-physical cards conjured up many meanings - from NFT's to vaults to bank safe deposit boxes to fractionals - most collectors would probably rather just have the card in hand.

Mike Moynihan asked each of us what we wanted our sports card hobby legacy to be in terms of our content creation efforts - how we would be remembered.

This question was less controversial than I thought it would be - unfortunately the question submitter was not able to attend.

Another dinner question that drew a wide range of responses from the content creators in attendance - thanks Kyle Robertson for securing a meeting room for us.

John has an impressive list of big corporate sponsors for this "cards plus much more" show in Portland, Oregon, over Father's Day weekend.

Go to worldsofsport.com for more info on John's inaugural event on Father's Day weekend in Portland - with cards and much more.

Our dinner panel discussed how to make the hobby more welcoming to women and other demographics and ethnicities through our podcasts and YouTube channels.

This was our first question as voted on by our content creator panelists that evening, even though the question was suggested by someone who unfortunately missed the dinner due to illness.

I asked each of the 16 distinguished content creator attendees at the dinner to self-introduce and then declare their order of (content creator) collector, investor, dealer. Thanks Chris Sewell.

Grant and I go another round of sport card hobby and history questions - heavy on BGS this time - and some then and now stuff - thanks Grant!
