Sports Market Report

I was interviewed a few months back by Sports Market Report (SMR) magazine writer Kevin Glew.  The issue with his articles came out this week.  There really wasn't a lot of his interview with me in the articles - he had a lot more from Gary Engel, Robert Klevens and Rob Fitts (which makes perfect sense) and also from collector David Saba (which also make sense since David is a collector of PSA graded cards - PSA being the publisher of SMR - and I'm not).  Sean was also quoted in an article about Calbee.  Mostly my contributions are in regards to Shohei Ohtani's cards.


The articles by Glew are very comprehensive and quite interesting.  There's also an article by another writer regarding the 1967 Kabaya-Leaf set which is incredibly detailed.  Portions of the magazine will eventually be on-line I think but currently it's only available at the news stand.  The cover price is $7.00.  I assume you can buy it in hobby shops but since I don't usually go to them (I'm unlikely to find any Japanese cards at my local stores) I don't know that for sure.

Oh cool, Kevin interviewed me a few months ago and I was wondering when that was going to come out and if he was going to use my interview in it! Can't wait to see it!

Just got done reading the articles. Lots of them...I also see they came out electronically in PSA's e-mail newsletter. Great read!
