A brief summary of each of the past 20-plus episodes over the four weeks preceding - adding a few insights and reflecting back - thanks for listening.

Applying the Gini Coefficient to sports cards instead of National economies and wealth/income distribution was interesting to Torsten and me - listen in on our dive into it - thanks for listening.

This episodes relates only half of a conversation I had with some private equity folks - you don't hear the questions or know who is asking - only my responses.

Hobby Hotline is always a fun show - here the conversation turned to whether we thought Dak Prescott (and others) were top-tier quarterbacks.

Using a very broad definition of hobby vault for storing cards - Rich and I explore all the options, currently and historically.

Jacob and I did a simulcast, being on each other's shows at the same time taking turns asking each other hobby questions - thanks Jacob!

An afternoon visit to see Mike's collection and "the beast" and to appear on his channel - had a great time - here are some out-takes.

I was recently a podcast guest on Cloud 259, interviewed by track enthusiast and card collector Brenn Jones - here are some excerpts from our conversation - thanks Brenn!

Rich and I discuss when (in this sports card hobby) free may not be so free - lots of examples and stories where free has a hidden cost.

Mike Cramer (Founder of Pacific Trading Cards) provided Rich and me with some original spreadsheets giving production and distribution details of Pacific's innovative product line. Thanks Mike!

Kyle (of Wax Museum fame) and I quiz each other on all things basketball - especially the cards we love and why we love them - thanks Kyle!

Brenn is a podcaster, card collector, and passionate track and field guy - wondering why there aren't more track and field cards - perhaps they are on the way.

More sports card hobby questions from John Keating mainly dealing with his specialty - the 1970's - a great decade for me as well.

A discussion of my recent dollar box pulls - exclusively football and arranged in alphabetical order - only made it up to the letter D!

Another bout with Steve as we share stories about our long history in this great hobby - thanks Steve!

Blake Grice's YT Channel: BlakeDOWN breaks down each group of Topps Project 70 cards with special emphasis on the artists and creativity. Thanks Blake - nine-year-old prodigy!

Brad (TXCardDude) had saved up some tough hobby questions for Rich and me and we enjoyed responding in tandem. Thanks Rich and Brad!

A very brief recap of the past four weeks of episodes - I enjoy thinking back to what I was thinking and occasionally have new retrospective thoughts.

There were apparently 14 versions of this question, best encapsulated by Keith (thanks Keith!), so here's my response from having been in the exact situation described back in the day but handled differently by others today.

Another seven listener hobby questions accumulated since last time - if you have a question or comment - send to doctorjamesbeckett@gmail.com and thanks!
