Live Show #44 - With Stephen Laroche, Hobby Author, Consultant & Former Card Company Executive

Please note that during this episode we had to reschedule Stephen as his internet connection was not strong enough to provide good enough video. At around the 0:50:00 minute mark, he left and I reverted to some Q&A and at the 1:25:00 mark Carlos from "Because I'm Carlos" and Bobby Burrell of Vintage Hockey Collector joined me for some freestyle discussion.   Jeremy sits down with Stephen Laroche, lifelong hobbyist, author, card company staffer/executive and Beckett editor to discuss how he has seen the hobby evolve, what it was like working in product development, brand managing and signing athletes to signature deals as an executive at In The Game Trading Cards, book writing, his position as Editor with Beckett and then being released by Beckett, having and recovering from stress induced aneurysm and stroke and then having a new lease on life and remaining involved in the hobby. As you can see, Stephen's hobby journey has had its twists and turns that will result in an interesting perspective and episode of Sports Cards Live so please join as and as always, viewer questions and comments will be in play.    Wednesday September 9 @10:00pm ET, 7:00pm PT --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sportscardslive/support Learn more about your ad choices.
