  • Incredible

    Absolutely the best card podcast bar none. I only wish the episodes were longer. As Beckett monthly subscriber for many years it’s a privilege to listen to Dr Beckett talking to guests and giving sound honest advice.

    Election podcast was pathetic. “Doctor” lists 12 political issues that could impact the hobby and provides standard party line talking points rather than actual facts. Do some actual research before providing bias opinions. 15 minutes of nothing I will not get back.

Q: Are they shooting themselves in the foot with the overprinting?
The collector in me says, they're too many. I agree. But until the card companies see a mass exodus of collectors, the economics don't change.

Q: Does a card shop have to have a breaking wing associated to survive or not even?
I don't know it has to, but I think it seems wise to investigate it. You need to consider alternatives in the business.
