Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-ydb6z-11d1c38 Most of Ryan's show involved my "show and tell" of a few interesting cards - this is a brief segment more suited to our audio format as our conversation was wide-ranging. Thanks Ryan!
Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-gzk9b-11d00e1 Rich and I talk about the re-birth of Fleer baseball (current player) cards back in 1981 (not a terrible start all things considered) and how Fleer handled the junk wax era before its eventual demise almost 25 years later.
Rich now works for COMC - which is an interesting option and venue for selling smaller more obscure sets card by card - we discuss our strategies - thanks Rich!
Grayson came all the way from Australia to the MINT Collective in Las Vegas - we sat down twice - this portion was recorded in the show area - please forgive the poor audio quality - and thanks Grayson.
I accumulated several questions from my German (Shaq collector) friend, Torsten Bauer, and rolled them into this interesting episode - put on your thinking caps - and thanks Torsten.
I accumulate good sports card questions sent in by viewers and listeners - thank you - this time it's eight diverse questions - keep them coming!
Kirt challenged me on my claim that sports card collecting is the greatest hobby in the world - the verdict - it is for me!
Jeff and I had some creative ideas about marketing sports cards to kids - and we brainstormed about birthday party ideas (that I wish were around when I was a kid).

Brad Bethune and Chris Harris were my co-hosts last month on Hobby Hotline - listen to the whole show as this was only a small portion of what we discussed that Saturday morning - thanks!
Kirt had some sports card hobby/industry questions accumulated for me - there were also some constructive criticisms, which I enjoyed hearing and responding to the best of my ability or recollection - thanks Kirt.
Jeff is filling Tracy Hackler's shoes in his new role at Panini, but he brings some additional capabilities which Panini will likely eventually tap into - thanks Jeff!
Paper shortages and supply chain disruptions - but is there more to the story? We discuss on Hobby Hotline last month - thanks co-hosts!
I am honest, but am I brutally honest? Enjoy Kirt's approach to buying and selling - seems to work for him but perhaps not all - thanks Kirt!

How might nano-technology affect our sports card hobby? Get a nano-glimpse of our potential future with already cameras smaller than a grain of salt.
I guested on Jeremy's Collectable Live the week after the MiNT Collective while the memories were still fresh for both of us - I had some ideas for next year.
Check out the video channel Today's Collector - Jeremy Lee's interview show leading up to the MINT Collective - here are some excerpts - thanks Jeremy!
Joe and I sat down at the MINT Collective (sorry for the poor audio) and discussed our hobby journey - with Joe now recently becoming Collectable's Sports President - congrats Joe!
The first part of my interview with Josh Luber - please forgive the poor audio quality - the sound proof booth was not as sound-proof as we thought - thanks Josh!
It's possible I enjoy these recap Sports Card Insights episodes more than you do, as it gives me an opportunity to reflect and augment, if I so desire.
