It really is crazy that his cards were ever cheap. After watching the documentary about him I wondered why I didn’t make the effort to see him play. But then I never went to see Lebron play either. I remember a friend almost apologizing for making a trip to see Lebron play as if people thought that was silly. But I think she was smart to do that and will never regret seeing him play in person.

I did get a Kerr card one time when I bought a couple of NBA blasters and wondered if I should PC him. He’s an impressive guy in so many ways. Thanks for the background on Bagent. That’s a cool story. And now I’m rooting for him to get playing time!

Of course they can contribute to who we choose to collect! I’m curious as to why you collect Tyson Bagent and Steve Kerr. I could guess with Kerr but want to know if that guess is right. I confess I don’t know who Bagent is

We usually choose to collect an athlete because we think they’re GOOD.. And if we can afford it we collect those we think are GOATs. I bet most collectors initially choose players they think are especially good. And if we find someone later (like Brady for you) it’s because he/she is exceptional. He made me a believer when he took Tampa to win the Super Bowl.

You wrapped that up pretty early. It’s pretty amazing that they give away such good cards isn’t it?!?

Congrats on that sweet Pikachu!!

Well you’re doing this for the best of reasons. Good energy brings good energy so I bet the show does really well!

Oh I think no admission really does figure into a lot of family budgets. You’ll have people who otherwise would not be there with their kids. Now they think “hey we can buy a couple of cards or some food” and they’re more likely to go. As I said, kudos to you. Not a lot of people think like you and I really appreciate those who DO. The ripple effect of what you’re doing is a lot bigger than what you can see. And it’s very positive!
