00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.280
guy doing great things, and on this episode we're really
48
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.479
going to talk about a show he's putting on that's
49
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.240
never been done before in the hobby. That's all I'm
50
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.879
gonna say. I'll tease you with that. So with that tease,
51
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:51.800
let's get this show started. Sees says are like so
52
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.919
important and I you know, I had one myself for
53
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.680
seven years in the nineties, right, And most Elsie owners
54
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.800
care about customer service. They care about what their customers
55
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.360
collect or what they're looking for.
56
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:06.680
Right.
57
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.199
And most once they get to know like you, and
58
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.400
they know, hey he collects, you know Bryce Harper cards.
59
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.199
You know, Uh, they'll they'll put stuff away. They'll they'll
60
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.120
you know, when you come in, they'll remember, hey, I
61
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.759
got these in or hey I got this I picked
62
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.759
it up in a bigger deal. I'm giving it to you,
63
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.519
you know, Merry Christmas early or whatever. You know. I
64
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.000
thought of you when when I got this, uh in
65
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.279
a collection that I acquired and I put it aside
66
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.160
for you, right, and that that sort of stuff goes
67
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.759
a long way, right, Uh, to those experiences being positive
68
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.680
where someone gets enjoyed the hobby stay in it. And
69
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.959
you know, I when when people get in the hobby,
70
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.480
I you know, someone say, oh man, you know like
71
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.600
the old guard. You know, I've been calling the old
72
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.720
guard like you don't like new people. I love new people.
73
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.759
I want, but I want people not to come into
74
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.720
having stay in the hobby and not maybe leave after
75
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.759
a year or a couple of years. And so anything
76
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.240
we can do, you know, I always say we're all.
77
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.920
We're all, whether we want to be or not. If
78
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.800
we're in the hobby, we're sort of ambassadors and advocate
79
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.279
for the hobby. And so anything you can do, and
80
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:22.639
you don't have to be a show dealer or an
81
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.759
LCS owner, you can do do things to promote the
82
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.920
hobby and do good things to to have other people
83
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.439
have good hobby experiences. Uh, and stick around. I think
84
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.680
we're seeing I think that stuff's contagious, Nick, and I
85
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.360
think we're starting to see more. But there's always there's
86
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.439
always room for even even more, right, there can't When
87
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.079
it comes to that positive stuff, we can't have uh
88
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.800
too much, right, So the more we see it, I
89
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:55.040
just think it makes the hobby a better place, just the.
90
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.800
You know, the relationships. Like you mentioned that. What that
91
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.199
triggered me is I have a really close friend. We
92
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.199
met in the army. I'm out now, he's still in
93
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.879
he's he's finishing up his twenty years and then retiring,
94
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.680
so he's out in Colorado. But he's from Seattle. So
95
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.079
he's a big Griffy fan. Obviously he grew up there.
96
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.000
You grew up in Oregon, but he's a Seattle fan.
97
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.560
So whenever I come across like cool Seahawks cards or
98
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.600
Mariners cards, I pick him up for him. He does
99
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:22.879
the same thing for me with Phillies and Eagles stuff.
100
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:24.879
And every once in a while, you know, there's a
101
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.839
package on the doorstep with cards, and you know it's
102
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.360
it's a fun bond to not only look for cards
103
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:31.920
for you, but for other people that are that you're
104
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.800
close with and that you can share those those memories with. Yeah,
105
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.680
it's just awesome. I mean that that's that's part of
106
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.279
the in person uh, you know, getting to know people
107
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.800
thing and and sharing the experience of the hobby with them.
108
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.560
It's all just it's all tied together. And and as
109
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.319
you mentioned too, like everybody really is an ambassador for
110
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.040
the hobby at this point, and it's up to us,
111
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.000
like if we want this hobby to continue to grow
112
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.959
and sustain itself and you know, uh, for a future
113
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.279
generations to be able to enjoy it, we have to
114
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:02.240
shepherd it properly.
115
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:07.279
Yeah, yep, yeah, And you never know, I always you know,
116
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.319
when I started doing show, I did my first show
117
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.639
as a dealer at fifteen years old. I was I
118
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.639
was probably on the young side of things. And you know,
119
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.560
I always say this to like people I set up
120
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.839
near or I know that are fellow dealers. And this
121
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.399
doesn't just apply to dealers, you know, Nick, this applies anyone.
122
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:31.120
You never know who's watching, and so you should always be,
123
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.800
you know, cognizant of that. And so you know, whether
124
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.399
I'm home by myself working with cards, or I'm at
125
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.720
behind my table at a show where there's nine hundred
126
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.920
people in the room, I tried to, you know, have
127
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.879
integrity no matter what, whether it's no one's watching or
128
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.480
everyone's watching. And there's something to be said about that.
129
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.560
And so, uh, and I take pride in it. So
130
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.000
you know, whether it's a know, like I mentioned, maybe
131
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.439
I bought a collection or I bought a lot of
132
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:08.360
you know, a pocket of cards off someone, and I know,
133
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.240
like certain you know this this friend of mine, like you,
134
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.360
like you just said, what your your your military buddy,
135
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.600
right when even when I purchased things, I'm not only
136
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.360
just thinking about me, but hey, like so and so
137
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.360
would really enjoy that. So if I get that, it's
138
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:29.079
already earmarked uh for that person, right, and so that's
139
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.960
that's the kind of stuff that that pays more dividends
140
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.840
than even the probably what the card's worth, the just
141
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.639
the thought and the deed itself is worth more uh
142
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:44.279
than the cardboard and in most cases, but it really
143
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.519
just sets a nice tone and it's just positive, right
144
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.399
you Just I feel good. You know, I'm not doing
145
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.200
it because it looks good. It makes me feel good
146
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.000
that I can can do it. And I appreciate like
147
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.600
the look whether it's a kid or even not a kid, right,
148
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.440
like you're given this to me. Yeah, that's I thought
149
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.000
about you when I got it, so I put it aside,
150
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.960
and man, you know, I can't believe he thought about me.
151
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.080
You know, sometimes it's even more than the equal eyem itself.
152
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.799
It's the fact that you know that that person realizes
153
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.879
you thought about him when they're when they're not right
154
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.639
in front of you. Uh, you know, and so that goes,
155
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.120
that goes a long way.
156
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.399
Yeah, absolutely, you know, it doesn't. It doesn't take a
157
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.960
lot to be kind to one another. And uh no, yeah,
158
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.440
I mean, and it honestly, like you said, it's contagious, right,
159
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.480
Like I've like, you know, people have given me cards
160
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:40.879
to give out to other kids because they see me
161
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.279
giving cards to other kids, and you know, it's just
162
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:47.960
that that spreads, that positivity spreads, and you know, unfortunately,
163
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.440
I think one of the things we do see sometimes
164
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.639
is I mean, every the world has negative but I
165
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.679
think if you stay positive and keep that outlook and
166
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.639
try to just as my son would say, you learn
167
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.559
this from his grandmother, be cool, be kind. So he
168
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.639
likes to tell me, you know, just be be kind
169
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.600
other people, and that just the feeling you get from
170
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.720
from doing that is is worth more than anything monetarily
171
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.679
in my opinion.
172
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:16.720
Yeap, And it is contagious. I've had fellow dealers say hey,
173
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:20.039
you know, hey Newman, I hope you don't mind. I'm
174
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.679
kind of I saw what you're what you did. I'm
175
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.919
kind of taking a page out of your book, you know.
176
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.080
I'm giving out some packs or I'm giving out some
177
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.440
they put like card packs together like team bags of
178
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.600
with some stars and some and I'm like, you don't
179
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.919
have to pot like do that. You know, you know
180
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.720
you did, you know, I didn't. I didn't invent that,
181
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.759
Like I got that from someone else did that before me.
182
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.720
So just keep that, keep that trend going. You don't
183
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:49.559
have to like ask permission to do that. That just uh,
184
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.200
you know, and I love to see it, right, And
185
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.559
the more we see that, just the hobby becomes a
186
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.559
better place. For now, I know how you got your
187
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.120
your name mean Daddy for those listening of mean Daddy's
188
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.360
for like, where did demonic? How did you come up
189
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.080
with demonic?
190
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.639
Yeah, so it is is funny. I get asked this
191
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.600
fairly off, especially with the logo. So when my son
192
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.480
was born, uh, pretty much, anytime he cried for any reason,
193
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.279
if I was anywhere near him crying, his mother and
194
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.360
my wife would come in and say, what did mean
195
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.279
daddy do to you? What did mean Daddy do to you?
196
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.039
And the name just kind of stuck. It was it
197
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.120
was funny. Uh So that kind of just stuck as
198
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.759
the moniker. And I'm paying her back now with our
199
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.399
daughter because anytime my daughter cries and she's there near it,
200
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.200
she's mean mommy. So you on the lookout for that
201
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.960
for me and mommy. No, that's that's how the that's
202
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:45.000
how the moniker came up. And the logo I just
203
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:46.519
I don't know, my son kind of inspired it.
204
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.840
So very cool and unlike the name, right, you're not
205
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.879
you're not a mean daddy, and you're not you're you're
206
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.759
a great advocate and ambassador as we kind of discussed
207
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.960
earlier of the hobby, right, And so I read this
208
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.279
I believe it was Sports Collectors, uh Daily when I
209
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.120
read the piece on. Yeah, I'm or Digest who I
210
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:14.200
write for. But uh, you know you're you're thinking outside
211
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.240
the box, and you're trying to do some different stuff
212
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:21.919
with card shows. Right. Not everybody enjoys card shows the
213
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.799
same way, and as some that listen to this podcast. No,
214
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:31.519
I'm a teaching assistant in the special education department, so
215
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:37.240
I work with young men and young women, you know, adults.
216
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.639
I'm at the high school level who you know have
217
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:45.000
different disabilities and maybe you know they don't like crowd
218
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:50.440
too too much. Crowds make them nervous or uncomfortable, loud
219
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.960
noises or too much, too much noise, all different sort
220
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.759
of things. And that's just some of it. You know,
221
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.720
we could do two hours of all the different types
222
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.519
of disabilities, so you know, we don't have that much time.
223
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.600
But but you're doing shows. You're gonna do a show
224
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.679
that's sort of you know with people uh that uh
225
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.279
and geared towards kids that have some of these things
226
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.960
that we sort of take for granted when we don't
227
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.799
have these things right, we don't realize that others are
228
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.600
dealing with this and what might be you know, easy
229
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.080
to do for us, may not be easy to do
230
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:31.559
for them. You're thinking about those those folks and uh,
231
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.240
it's near again. I know I said this before we
232
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.080
even start recording. That's near and dear to my heart.
233
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:40.960
So when I read this and like, I believe it's
234
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:44.960
to be the first first show that's that's geared uh
235
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:49.879
in that direction, you know, talk about the show, you
236
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.799
know how you came up, you know how this this
237
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.440
this was planned and launched and kind of the birth
238
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.840
of what you're about to do, and and you know,
239
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.519
I of it, but it's your thing, so I'll let
240
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.279
you kind of you know, I know about it for
241
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.399
reading about it, but this is your your thing, so
242
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.399
I'll shut up and let you talk about.
243
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.519
It, all right, thank you. Yeah, So the show is
244
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:18.679
called the All Star Card Show. I started this with
245
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.159
my good friend Brett he is. He owns the Fishtown
246
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.080
Card Show in Philadelphia. Area's one Philadelphia. There's one Cherry
247
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.879
on New Jersey, one of Delaware, so we we partnered
248
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.320
up on this. But yeah, so basically I had originally
249
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.879
I had a family reach out to me and said, hey,
250
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.440
you know, kid wants to come to a card show,
251
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:40.879
but I'm afraid that, you know, it could be overwhelming
252
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.879
for him this and that he has anxiety, so on
253
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.519
and so forth. Sorry, well, you know, how about this,
254
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.000
Why don't you guys come out? You guys do my guests.
255
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.320
I'll get you guys some tickets, come out, have some cards,
256
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.759
we'll hang out at my table, we'll rip cards, and
257
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:56.200
then hopefully he's feeling good and having fun. He want
258
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.519
to walk around and do mo stuff. So that all
259
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.399
worked out. We had him come out, hung out with them,
260
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.039
and it was a great time and he really enjoyed it.
261
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.000
And then after that we started kind of getting more
262
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:10.200
inquiries about that and and more families, and one thing
263
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:12.159
led to another, and I kind of thought to myself,
264
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.759
you know, I noticed like sometimes the kids would get overwhelmed.
265
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:16.559
They you know, they'd beople come to the parents book
266
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.399
were some more quiet to take them to to kind
267
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.080
of calm down a little bit. And I totally get that,
268
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.679
Like the card shows can be crazy for sure. So
269
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.120
I thought to myself, all right, is there a card
270
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:30.000
show for these families and these kids? And I looked
271
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.399
and searched and didn't see any thing. I was like,
272
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:34.320
all right, well, I think there should be one. So
273
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.159
so I kind of started with that, and then one
274
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.720
thing led to another, and I started to think about
275
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.879
you know, we talked about the financial aspect of how
276
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:45.519
hard it is for anybody to be able to afford
277
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.840
some of this stuff, and I said, there's got to
278
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.399
be a way where we can put this show on
279
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:53.120
and make it be one less thing that these parents,
280
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.279
these kids have to worry about. They can just show up.
281
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.279
They'll be cards, they'll be starter kids, you know, boxes
282
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:01.600
for the for the kids to keep their cards and supplies.
283
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.240
Food's going to be free, everything's need for you. I
284
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.200
just want these kids to be able to come with
285
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:10.080
their families and have a fun night out. And luckily
286
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.639
we've had a really great reception from not only people
287
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.279
in the hobby but outside the hobby that have contributed
288
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.679
to this. We are all together are going to be
289
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:21.639
doing just that is making a night like this for
290
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.879
these kids that hopefully they won't forget, their families won't forget,
291
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.279
and you know, for someone would be a good introduction
292
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.240
to the hobbies. Some of them have been been in
293
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.559
the hobby already, so you know, it's just that's that's
294
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:33.399
the whole thing. I think it's gonna be a really
295
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.960
really fun thing all the way around for everybody, from
296
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.559
these kids, the families, to me to the other volunteers.
297
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:40.840
It's going to be a really good time.
298
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.000
I love it. Kudos to you. And you know, think
299
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.480
about someone say do we need this show? And the
300
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.600
answer is an easy yes, right because think about maybe
301
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.200
how many kids are going to attend, and not just kids, right,
302
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.159
just people. But I know it's scared kids kids, but
303
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.960
think about how many people might go to the show
304
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.839
that would have never thought about going to a show
305
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.720
before for for the reasons kind of We discussed whether
306
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:13.920
it be you know, crowds or the noises, or they
307
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.319
just don't feel they feel maybe not like they belong
308
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:22.119
even and you're you're you know that you're designing the
309
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.720
show to eliminate a lot of those, you know, things
310
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.440
that may cause them to not come to a show
311
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:31.799
in the first place. And this it might be in
312
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.960
many cases the first show for for folks coming uh
313
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:39.640
to the show, and that hey, you can do this
314
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.599
right there. There's there's avenues to you to you don't
315
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.000
have to just enjoy the hobby. You know in your room,
316
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.440
you can come out. There's ways to enjoy the hobby
317
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:56.799
even with some of your disabilities and things like that,
318
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:01.680
that you can we can design an event where that
319
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:04.759
shouldn't be an issue anymore or not like your your
320
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:09.000
typical show and you know, to think outside the box
321
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.240
like that. I mean, it just it. I think it
322
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:16.319
says a lot about you, Nick and the people involved
323
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:20.480
obviously that are helping out. Kudos to them as well.
324
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.079
And you know, I think sometimes we forget about you know,
325
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.960
we I think sometimes we think well, we're all, you know,
326
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.119
cookie cutters, We're all the same, and that's that's so
327
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.240
far from the truth. I know that firsthand from what
328
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.720
I do. I knew that beforehand before that, but even
329
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:42.599
all the more so when you're working with those youngsters
330
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.079
day in and day out, you know, what might be
331
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.039
simple for me and you or somebody else is a
332
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:53.880
big hurdle for them. And I think sometimes I guess
333
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.599
we all can be guilty of taking that for granted occasionally.
334
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.720
And here you are, you know, designing in an event
335
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:05.759
that's going to you know, hopefully where those folks can
336
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:07.680
enjoy it like anybody.
337
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.240
Time to hear from one of our great sponsors. But
338
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.599
sports cardination will be right back after that.
339
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:18.279
When you're dealing with sports cards, guessing isn't a strategy.
340
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.599
A strategy requires relying on accurate data that you can trust.
341
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.960
That's why the Hobby uses card Ladder. Card Ladder provides
342

Let's go.
356
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:27.039
You are listening to the sports Card Nation podcast.
357
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.519
Talk about some you know, the difficulties and and you know,
358
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.839
how how does something like that all come together? You know,
359
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.279
when it happens, it's probably going to look seamless, but
360
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:42.160
it's it's anyone that's done any kind of show or
361
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.200
an event. You know, it's never as easy as it
362
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:46.279
sometimes looks.
363
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:50.160
Yeah, definitely, I mean I think number one and it
364
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:53.440
couldn't do this out without Brett. He has the expense
365
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:55.440
of running shows and that was a huge because I
366
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.279
don't have that experience. So him being able to help
367
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:00.799
with that type of stuff, and you know, getting the venue,
368
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:02.799
and just all the kind of things that go in
369
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:04.960
behind There's a million things behind the scenes that go
370
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.960
into having a show. And it's it's different, right because
371
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.519
most shows you have vendors and you know, they pay
372
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.000
a fee or whatever to come to it and have
373
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:13.960
a table, and I like, I didn't want to do
374
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.079
any of that. I wanted to make this solely about
375
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:19.440
the kids and these families, and I wanted to do things.
376
00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:22.039
We talked about having a place to go it's quiet.
377
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:23.880
We we're gonna have a full censor at this show,
378
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.519
so if kids need to go to a sensory friendly
379
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.160
place that we have that. We're gonna have education zone
380
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.000
with teachers that are also in the hobby like yourself,
381
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:35.440
and and they're gonna teach these kids about the hobbies.
382
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.039
But they have you know, they have worked with kids
383
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:42.240
with special needs before. So yeah, I mean there's a
384
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:44.279
ton that goes into it. There's so I think the
385
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:48.480
biggest thing, uh, is just the outpouring of support from
386
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:53.160
I mean too many people to name businesses like a
387
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:57.519
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is sponsoring the event or one
388
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:00.440
of our sponsors. I mean, it's it's amazing just the
389
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:02.720
outpouring of love and support that we've gotten for this
390
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:07.640
from people that's really helpful. People within the community just
391
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.319
kind of saying, hey, this might be a good idea,
392
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:10.920
or hey, I'd like to help them do this. What
393
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.720
do you guys think this would be cool with the event,
394
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:14.960
and just kind of everything kind of fell in place,
395
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.160
like believe it or not, it was a lot of
396
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.799
hard work from a lot of people, but it's really
397
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:21.680
falling into place. It's really going to be a group
398
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:24.880
effort and hopefully start something, start something great, you know.
399
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:27.920
Yeah, And there's that contagious part of the hobby, right
400
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:31.799
when when people when you're doing something good, right, there
401
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:34.480
should be and hopefully it'll be always the case. Right,
402
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.079
there should be no shortage of people who want to
403
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.920
get on board and be part of it, and you know,
404
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.799
make it easier. Right, The more people involve, the easier
405
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.559
it should should be. But even that being said, right,
406
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.039
to put together the event, you got to have a
407
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:54.119
lot of people sort of rowing in the same direction,
408
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:59.039
if you will, and sometimes that's easier said than done.
409
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.599
But you know, I think it's gonna be great. Uh.
410
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.960
You know, again, kudos to you and everyone uh involved
411
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:09.759
and I mean this is something I read too, like,
412
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:13.279
this is something you you don't want this to be
413
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:15.640
a one time thing and done. This is something you
414
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:19.839
want to bring to different locales and sort of like
415
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.960
gain momentum. And so no matter where you potentially may live,
416
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:29.039
uh in the country, right, you should maybe this event
417
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.000
can be something you can attend kind of speak. I
418
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:34.599
know it's early in the process and you're getting this
419
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:37.200
one off the ground, but you know, kind of the
420
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.279
the big picture or the down the turn down the
421
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.440
turnpike view of an event like this.
422
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:49.039
Yeah, definitely we I mean, this has all happened pretty quickly, honestly,
423
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:51.799
and I think we're always gonna have things to learn
424
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:54.000
about it. I think we'll learn a lot from the
425
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:56.519
first one. But yeah, we've had interest from all over
426
00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:59.200
the country and and honestly, I don't see why this
427
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.359
couldn't be some then that's international at some point. Uh,
428
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.480
this is this is for others. This is for other people,
429
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:09.880
and this is for people that you know. It may
430
00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:11.720
it's harder, like I said, it's harder for them to
431
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:13.880
just go to a run of the Middle Card show
432
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:18.079
on a Saturday. So I hope that we can continue
433
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.079
to get support for this cause. You know, obviously I'm
434
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:25.279
from Philadelphia. It's the first ones in that area. And
435
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:28.119
hopefully we can continue to expand out and more people
436
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:30.799
are interested in being a part of this and we
437
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.240
can try to uh you know, touch on as many
438
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:36.000
people and families as we can, uh and and spread
439
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:36.839
the body of them.
440
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:40.119
Yeah, I love it. I hope that's the case. That
441
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:43.200
and maybe you know, we talked about the National which
442
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:45.920
is coming up here in a couple of months, and
443
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.160
that's uh, you know, I call it the super Bowl
444
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:51.319
to have. I mean obviously if you're someone that has
445
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:55.599
some of those disabilities, that that that's an overwhelming event.
446
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.599
Oh and just to anybody, uh in many cases. But
447
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.839
maybe you know, obviously not this year, but maybe in
448
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.960
a future year, maybe as soon as twenty twenty seven, right,
449
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:12.039
maybe you know they're starting to expand, right, they're going
450
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:16.240
to the second four. Maybe they can even dedicate you know,
451
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:20.319
a certain level or part of that show where if
452
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:23.960
someone's coming in, especially if someone's coming in special needs,
453
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:27.240
even just for the day, where that they can still
454
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:31.440
attendant say they attended the National and partake in it.
455
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:35.319
Where before they may be like there's no way, you know,
456
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:39.079
Jimmy or Susie can do this kind of event. But
457
00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:42.519
maybe that wouldn't be the case of it's something they consider,
458
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:46.880
you know, putting into place and using you know, your
459
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:50.200
blueprint if you will, you know, as sort of the
460
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:53.319
or get you involved, maybe even have you work with
461
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:57.079
them to have part of the National sort of be
462
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.440
available for you know, people with disabilities who might not
463
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:05.400
be able to go in the main ballroom, if you will,
464
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:08.880
but still want to attend, you know, the show or
465
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:12.519
be in that city. I hope that's something that you know,
466
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:17.279
obviously not this year, but maybe in future Nationals that's
467
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:20.680
something we may see and not just Nashville. I mentioned
468
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:23.960
the National because it's the granddaddy of them all, as
469
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.680
they say, But we're seeing a lot of these regional
470
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.680
shows right your East Coast Nationals, your bird Bank shows,
471
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.920
your Dallas card shows and others. I don't mean to
472
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.119
leave anybody off, but maybe some of these other shows
473
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:40.680
can take a page out of your book or get
474
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:44.240
you involved, like how do we bring what you're doing here,
475
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:47.839
how can we offer that and how can we do
476
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:51.359
it that way the show can be for everyone and
477
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:58.000
doesn't have to necessarily you know, preclude or exclude anybody, right,
478
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:02.359
I believe the hobby should be inclusive, not exclusive, and
479
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:06.640
you know, hopefully that's you know, maybe we'll someday we'll
480
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:11.000
be talking nick about your your inaugural event just being
481
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.640
sort of the you know, the de president to uh
482
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:19.400
you know, have the hot you know, more inclusion, no
483
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:23.079
matter where the low coal or even size of the show.
484
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:26.440
Yeah, definitely, I mean I would love that anybody that's
485
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.559
you know, interested in doing something like this feel free
486
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.319
to reach out. I think definitely, Like the National is
487
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.359
the super Bowl, right, and it's it's a special thing,
488
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:38.119
the first one you go to when you first walk
489
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:41.400
in for the first time, and I think anybody that's
490
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:44.480
in the hobby you should experience it. And yeah, I
491
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:46.960
mean that I think too. You know, some of these
492
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.000
bigger shows, especially probably have the infrastructure and staff and
493
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.559
team to to be able to do something like what
494
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:57.039
you're saying. And yeah, I mean the like the more
495
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:00.400
the merrier. For lack of a lack of a better cliche,
496
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:02.680
I guess, but yeah, I mean it'd be awesome if
497
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.720
we could get as many people as we can to
498
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.759
these types of things, and really whatever level and the
499
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:10.640
national to your local card show down the street, you
500
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:12.640
know what I mean. So I just want people to
501
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:15.480
experience the hobby the way I got to experience as
502
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.000
a kid. Even throughout my adulthood, especially the times in
503
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.319
the army, opening a box of cards or a couple
504
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:24.640
of tax cards with some buddies was always a good
505
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:27.039
time for me and sometimes even help me through some
506
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:30.200
tough times. So I think that, you know, that could
507
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:32.359
that could also have the same effect on others. And
508
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.880
you know, if I can help people find that, then
509
00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:35.640
let's do it.
510
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:39.240
Yeah, I love it. I love it. You know, I'll
511
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:41.359
say this out of there. I'll say this out there.51200:28:42.200 --> 00:28:45.680
You know, there's anything I can do, you know, and51300:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.839
it's in my power. I'm willing to help. This is51400:28:49.079 --> 00:28:51.799
near and dear to my heart. You know, I work51500:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.799
five days a week with young, you know, male and51600:28:56.880 --> 00:29:01.160
female students that have a lot of these disabilities. It's51700:29:01.200 --> 00:29:04.279
it's tough, it's tough. It's it's stuff that me or51800:29:04.319 --> 00:29:07.480
you may not think twice about. It's a huge hurdle.51900:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.720
And so to think someone that's dealing with that stuff52000:29:10.759 --> 00:29:15.079
on such a daily basis can can still go to52100:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.599
an event and enjoy it like everyone else. Right, that's52200:29:18.599 --> 00:29:21.680
so awesome even just talking about it. It's awesome to52300:29:21.720 --> 00:29:26.319
think that that's what something was not even on their radar,52400:29:26.640 --> 00:29:28.720
is not only going to be on the radar, but52500:29:28.880 --> 00:29:32.119
something they can partake in. Uh, that's a big that's52600:29:32.160 --> 00:29:34.319
a big deal. I don't care, you know, And that52700:29:34.319 --> 00:29:38.759
should be a big deal, whether you you know, I52800:29:38.799 --> 00:29:42.400
think if you like again that ambassador and abg uh52900:29:42.519 --> 00:29:46.119
you should want to see that, whether you work with kids,53000:29:46.279 --> 00:29:49.160
whether you're a parent or a relative, it shouldn't matter.53100:29:49.880 --> 00:29:55.160
That should be something new. Endorse and and applaud and uh,53200:29:55.200 --> 00:29:58.240
I for sure do and uh you know and and53300:29:58.279 --> 00:30:00.680
you again you you you don't have to do that,53400:30:00.839 --> 00:30:03.319
right you can say, well, you know, this is a53500:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.640
big undertake in someone else, you know, well, everyone sometimes53600:30:07.640 --> 00:30:10.480
has that, right, I have someone else to do it, right,53700:30:10.519 --> 00:30:12.960
But you're not as someone else would do it. You're like,53800:30:13.039 --> 00:30:16.319
let's do this, and here you are, so uh you53900:30:16.359 --> 00:30:20.759
know again, kudos to you and everyone involved. I think54000:30:20.799 --> 00:30:23.799
it's uh, you know, such a great hobby story. And54100:30:24.240 --> 00:30:26.799
it's not a hobby store. It's a great human story54200:30:27.680 --> 00:30:30.799
that just happens to take place in the hobby right,54300:30:30.960 --> 00:30:35.200
and I think it's just just so and it's so important.54400:30:35.200 --> 00:30:37.640
We don't really realize it, you know, I think some54500:30:37.680 --> 00:30:43.279
people do, but it's it really is an important you know,54600:30:43.759 --> 00:30:46.559
kudos to you. Uh, you know, we're coming down to54700:30:46.680 --> 00:30:50.079

everything that you put forth towards this and it's it's56000:31:27.200 --> 00:31:29.920
gonna be a special thing and hopefully it will continue56100:31:29.960 --> 00:31:32.480
to grow more to hear about it stuff like that.56200:31:33.279 --> 00:31:34.920
If you want to learn more about the All Star56300:31:35.000 --> 00:31:38.359

and Daddy Cards and Instagram. Those are those are the56600:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.039
two social media platforms we have. I'm working on a56700:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.319
YouTube but then did a little busy, so yeah, that's56800:31:52.599 --> 00:31:55.720
that's not fully updated yet, but but yeah, that's where56900:31:55.759 --> 00:31:58.880
you can find out more about the show about myself.57000:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.799

back as best as I can, and uh, yeah, that's57200:32:05.559 --> 00:32:06.400
that's pretty much it.57300:32:06.759 --> 00:32:10.000
Awesome stuff. Man, I'm not a lip service guy. That's57400:32:10.039 --> 00:32:12.759
from the heart, right, And I always say, and it57500:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.079
wasn't something like you know, even the smallest ripples, if57600:32:16.079 --> 00:32:19.200
we all make them, it becomes a big wave, right57700:32:19.319 --> 00:32:24.599
And hopefully that's what's gonna happen here. And you know,57800:32:24.640 --> 00:32:28.279
we're talking about it because it's it's a precedent setting thing.57900:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.519
But maybe we'll be having a conversation in the future58000:32:31.880 --> 00:32:35.319
where this will just be a normal thing, right. Uh,58100:32:35.359 --> 00:32:37.559
And that's I think. I don't want to speak for you,58200:32:38.000 --> 00:32:40.240
but I'm sure that's probably a goal. Like you'd like58300:32:40.319 --> 00:32:44.240
to see this just become no matter where you live,58400:32:44.359 --> 00:32:48.960
like you said, even international, that this can be available58500:32:49.000 --> 00:32:52.519
to you where maybe you could never you know before58600:32:52.599 --> 00:32:56.359
where you wouldn't even think about attending, and now now58700:32:56.400 --> 00:32:59.960
that person can, and that's huge. That's huge. That can58800:33:00.160 --> 00:33:03.440
make somebody's day, that can make someone's month, that can58900:33:03.519 --> 00:33:06.640
make Someboddy's life. Not to be dramatic, but I've seen59000:33:06.759 --> 00:33:11.960
stuff like that on the ground level, so it's important.59100:33:12.680 --> 00:33:15.799
Like I said, when I read about it, I actually59200:33:15.839 --> 00:33:18.839
talked about it on one of my pods, Nick, and59300:33:18.880 --> 00:33:21.119
I said, I'm gonna reach out and see if we59400:33:21.160 --> 00:33:24.400
