The Sports Card Show

Show #144 Just My Opinion Card Manufactures + Beckett + Leaf + Hit Parades

What show isn't just my opinion??? Well, most of them are, so I guess this is nothing new. On today's show, we talk about how Panini, Topps, Upper Deck ... ect all tend to blame 'ebay' or 'the internet' for some of the reasons why people don't collect cards today. Instead of blaming them - why didn't Topps or another company setup their own marketplace to sell/trade cards?? Why blame them when they could have joined them? We also talk about Leaf's recent tweets, Beckett's new services and DA Card Worlds Hit Parade packs.

Show #143 Collector Interview With @StevieNixx76

On today's show we talk to @stevienixx76 about collecting cards in Canada. 

He gives some good advice to those trying to avoid paying the expensive shipping fees some eBay sellers charge. We get insight to why he got back into collecting, and what type of vintage cards are hard to find in good condition & what he's collecting today.

Show #142 Checking Out COMC Office

This week I had the pleasure of going to the COMC headquarters in Washington State. I saw some really cool stuff going on and if I needed a job, it might be a cool place to work. They are growing pretty rapidly and it's all coming from internal growth. I talk about some of the things I saw and how you can learn from some of the things they do in your own business.
