Summary
Mike Phillips is the Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing at The Upper Deck Company – quite the title! He’s also been at Upper Deck for over 20 years AND used to work at Fleer before that, so he has lived & breathed trading cards as man and boy. We shine some light on a Masterpieces 1996 urban legend, and then we talk about the hobby then vs now. We get into bubbles and trends, how production of cards is a challenge in a COVID world – plus he’s the man who came up with Jambalaya, PMG and many, many more. What a guy! HUGE thanks to Mike for his time and the Upper Deck team for making this happen!
