What his first basketball card memory is. What the basketball card section of his shop back in 1984 was like What he remembers about his unopened 1986 Fleer box Why Beckett basketball started when it did Whether the marazine drove prices or the prices drove the magazine. What he thinks about the history of market manipulation and how today compares to earlier days in the hobby. What Jim thinks about Beckett bites And finally, what Jim remembers about the 1968 Topps Test basketball set.
Just such a pleasure to talk to Jim. I had a great time and think he did too. I think you'll enjoy this one.

I went back and listened to the 2012-13 Prizm Basketball Retrospective and found that I'd left some information out that I thought might be interesting and helpful.
Special guest host, Aaron and I review the 2012-13 Panini Prizm Basketball collection including the average box breakdown and the historical significance of the set.
What a rough couple of weeks. The world is in a place that I don't think we could have imagined a few weeks ago. The question that so many people are asking is, how is that going to influence the value of my collection? But also, what's up with this Kobe Green? MJ Gold cards, and more. Thanks for joining!
