Welcome to the first ever episode of Trading Card Therapy! Host Leighton Sheldon shares stories of how being introduced to the hobby as a kid set him on a path to pursue his dreams of working in the sports card space.
After getting to know Leighton, he wastes no time digging into some current events like the recent National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago. While the record breaking crowds shared overwhelmingly positive feedback, our Doctor digs into what can be improved on. Leighton also touches on the recent REA Auction for a T206 Honus Wagner SGC 3 which sold for a record $6.6 million dollars and how it could impact the industry.
The show wraps up with Leighton sharing a personal experience when bidding on items through Goldin Auctions. He shares how technical issues with the auction translated into bidders having their entire strategies revealed and disrupted. Have some auctions lost their personal touch that connects their products with their buyers? Perhaps if enough members of the community and industry voice their concerns, then improvements can be made that will benefit everyone involved.
