Description
EPISODE 207 - Clark and Hyung open the show giving their thoughts on the new hobby media news website cllct.com co-founded by journalist Darren Rovell. They share what some of the challenges might be as well as their hopes of more hobby media brands coming into the space.
Then Clark speaks with veteran collector and dealer in the hobby Karlos Diego who runs Sluggers55. He recalls his early days ripping packs chasing Wayne Gretzky and Michael Jordan rookie cards as well as shares how he got into the card business.
Plus he gives some insight into setting up at trade shows in both Canada including the Sport Card Expo in Toronto, the Burbank Card Show, and the National (aka "the Super Bowl" of card shows.)
But he also shares his thoughts on the upcoming Fanatics Fest in New York City where he will be setting up as a vendor and what impact this particular show might have on the hobby.
Lastly, Clark and Hyung wrap up the show with their weekly segment "Pick 1" where the hosts put up two cards and then debate which they'd rather invest in.
