Dr. Beckett recaps Kyle Robertson’s busy Watters Creek Dallas Card Show, praising it as top-notch in the U.S. (behind only the National and Toronto Sports Expo) and noting aggressive pricing and big sales. After missing Thursday to attend an event honoring his wife’s volunteer work, he returns Friday, shares an interaction that leads to meeting Akbar’s wife, and describes why the show is his “happy place” for both buying and listening to hobby conversations. Beckett discusses fewer dollar boxes due to dealer changes and sell-outs, his bulk-buy discount approach, and discomfort with being offered special treatment as “the price guide guy.” He previews a future episode about a Friday-night hobby dinner and lists the eight attendees, and closes with upcoming shows and invitations for future hobby dinners.
