Tim McEnery "Grinding to Hobby Success" E379
Q: How did the Slabstrong idea evolve from a personal project to a business?

Tim McEnery "Grinding to Hobby Success" E379
Q: So Tim, when did the hobby start for you, and what hooked you initially?
Tim recalls opening a 1990 flare basketball set at eight years old, the thrill of pulling Jordan cards, and the joy of collecting for love rather than dollars, which laid the foundation for his long-term passion.
Q & A Episode Hobby Quick Hits E224
Q: Do you believe Hosea's statements about future plans for PSA, SGC, and Beckett are credible?
He tends to give people the benefit of the doubt but remains cautious, acknowledging that industry statements can diverge from reality. He notes PSA remains the leading grader, expresses skepticism about collapse of competitors, and believes the industry will continue to evolve with improvements promised by the companies.
Q & A Episode Hobby Quick Hits E224
Q: What are your thoughts on shill bidding and individuals like Probstein involved in show bidding?

He also mentions he's not personally confirmed about Probstein's activities but keeps a critical eye on the overall integrity of auctions.
Tim Wermeling "Going Hobby Full-Time" E377
Q: Yeah, before we get into like going full-time and what all that entails, like where, you know, for you, when did the hobby start?
Tim explains he started collecting as a kid with various sports cards and even did Pokémon, taking a long break before COVID, and then ramping up again around 2019-2020, which set the stage for going full-time.
