Carlson Cards Sports Card Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this week's episode we are joined by Greg (@CardboardInsights). We discuss Greg's passion for 90s basketball card designs and some of his favorite aesthetics/innovations from the era. This includes getting a chance to see some of his favorite PC cards he has been able to acquire over the past 20-plus years of collecting. We also discuss Greg's passion for creating incredible art with some of his favorite sets on Instagram.

In this week's episode we are joined by Sal (@SalHasCoolCards). We talk through Sal's lifetime of collecting 90s basketball and football cards (including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Brett Favre & more!). This includes a ton of extremely insightful topics that should offer a lot to learn from!

Thanks for all your support! See you again soon.

In this week's episode we are joined by Jesse (@FlippityFlipCards on Instagram). Jesse steps us through his extremely impressive & unique wide-receiver collection. This includes sharing a ton of interesting acquisition stories and great "lessons learned" for the rest of us! I hope you enjoy this awesome episode.

In this week’s episode, we "break the ice" on hockey collecting with Adam (@EditionSportsCards on Instagram). Adam is a collector of Connor McDavid, Pavel Bure & Elias Pettersson. He has amassed an absolutely incredible collection for each of these players that is loaded with 1/1s, PMGs, Seismic Golds & more. This episode was a great opportunity to learn how Adam grew his collection & all of the learning lessons along the way.

In this week’s episode, Benedikt (@Vick7Collector on Instagram) steps us through his absolutely INCREDIBLE Michael Vick collection and journey to becoming what I would dub a "Supercollector". Benedikt originally became a fan of Michael Vick & American Football when he left Germany to become a high school exchange student in the US in the late 90s. This fandom/nostalgia translated over when 2020 hit and Benedikt was stuck inside his apartment with his family living in Singapore, and he decided to take a look back at the card-collecting hobby from his childhood. The rest is history!

In this week’s collector interview, PK (@pk32sportscards) steps us through his journey and incredible collection. PK grew up as a massive Boston Sports fan, but he ended up moving to Florida later on in life. During the years to come, he grew to be a HUGE fan of the newly added NFL franchise, the Jacksonville Jaguars. One of the major topics we touch on in this episode is how your collection can drastically shift as your fandom outside of cards does.

In this week’s episode, Ben (@brooklynbarrybright) steps us through his deliberate journey of targeting some of the best-looking and hardest-to-acquire football cards from the 90s and 2000s. We discuss Ben's strategies for finding cards that NEVER pop up and also touch on his passion for collecting NFL greats such as LaDanian Tomlinson, Peyton Manning & Michael Strahan.

In this week’s episode, Luke (@bleeckerstreetcards) takes us through his journey as a young child who quickly became enthralled with baseball history and dove headfirst into his father’s bin of old cards. Fast forward a couple of decades, and Luke now finds himself surrounded by autographed cardboard reminders of his favorite sports legends in history.
In this episode, Luke also touches on some of his incredible set collecting endeavors that include 1948 Leaf Baseball, 2003 Topps Chrome Basketball, and 2019 Topps Chrome Sapphire.

In this week's episode, we are joined by James (@MadCityCollector on Instagram). James guides us through an absolute soccer CRASH COURSE. We cover a ton of knowledge & history on one of the most unique sports card segments (by my estimation). This episode was a blast seeing the passion that James has for this space and learning more about his journey and INCREDIBLE collection.
