Dr. Beckett hosts a father-son episode with Cage Lawyer and his 13-year-old son Ian (“Cage Lawyer Jr.”) discussing their hobby experiences and what cards teach about life. They share stories of Cage being recognized at shows and even at an airport, Ian’s interest in becoming an investor, and how negotiating and handling rejection at card tables builds confidence and sales skills. They compare modern vs. vintage preferences, with Ian leaning modern and Cage crediting Ian for expanding his collecting into soccer, F1, and Pokémon, sometimes ahead of the curve. They emphasize the hobby as a unique father-son bond, generational knowledge exchange, and the value of preparation using comps. The conversation also highlights “dollar box” treasure hunting, building fair dollar boxes, and helping younger collectors get positive show experiences.
