Part 1 - Gatekeeping in the Sports Card Hobby? | Eitan Shapiro | SCL 208

We sit down with Eitan Shapiro AKA @sportscardcartel and manager at Toronto card shop Mintink to discuss his hobby history, the early days of eBay, his experience setting up at card shows, the meaning behind his Sports Card Cartel brand, how the success and expansion of Mintink runs counter to hobby narrative, whether people's expectations of the hobby and products within are unreasonable, the importance of education, why collecting cards with pictures of athletes is not childish and more so join us live and bring your questions and comments as they will be in play.
