Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-teba2-1314737 Jade had saved up a few years of questions for me some relating to COMC and others about the sports card hobby, and I, of course, had some hypotheticals for him - thanks Jade!

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-8h3fk-130de53 Danny has had several interesting career paths outside the sports card hobby including sport teams and radio - this is our second battle of questions but perhaps not our last - thanks Danny!

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-t2aee-130339d John had a number of provocative questions - essentially how green is our hobby and industry? How big of a concern is this or will it be?
Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-j7jss-1303390 Danny and I exchange our hobby questions for answers and they were not all about Pittsburgh and Baltimore - thanks Danny and welcome to the Hobby Hotline team!

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-iif8m-13021d7 Rich Klein recommended that I interview Jade, his associate at COMC - an enjoyable time focusing on Jade's sports card origin journey including working in a card shop for ten years before coming to COMC.

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.
