Episode 1: Welcome to The Sports Card CEO Podcast – Our Journey in the Hobby

In our very first episode of The Sports Card CEO Podcast, we’re kicking things off with introductions! Get to know Eric Mandelkern, Gary "Bubba" Wilson, and host Matt Ham, as we share our personal journeys into the world of sports card collecting—how we first got into the hobby, what made us step away, and ultimately, what brought us back. We’ll dive into our collecting styles, from chasing grails to hunting for hidden gems, and discuss what drives our passion for the hobby today. Are we investors, collectors, or somewhere in between? Do we go after modern hits, vintage legends, or prospecting future stars? We break it all down! This episode sets the stage for what’s to come, as we build a community of collectors, investors, and sports card enthusiasts. Whether you're a longtime hobbyist or just getting started, join us for a fun and insightful conversation about why we love this industry and where we see it going.
