Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-amzas-12feafa This auction contains a massive amount of iconic baseball autographed memorabilia from a non-hobby friend of mine - the catalog looks great - tmnauctions.com - we will see how things turn out as the auction closes November 6th!
Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-nvzs4-12f8cea One of John's questions was about card doctoring and what my observations and experiences over the years had been - it's a controversial topic - and we agree that goes especially when/if you are trying to defraud another collector.

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-jb3tc-12f7a4c Logan and I discussed his sports card collecting origin story, hitting the ground running as a serious collector right from the start - we are wondering if we crossed paths in Chicago in 1976?
Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-tbzjp-12f60c6 I won this lot and was overwhelmed - 63 blasters, hangers, and mega's - from baseball, basketball, and football - a learning experience indeed, but not a profitable one financially.

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-q23pz-12f16d9 I opened up a hobby box courtesy of Topps and was very pleased with the cards and the experience - when you really like even the base cards of a product, that's a great start.

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-y75n6-12d84cc Mike saved up some tough and fresh questions for me and asked them on his longer YouTube format - this is an excerpt - go to Golden Age of Cardboard for all of Mike's stuff - thanks Mike.
