A podcast on the “Vintage Baseball Collector” - your thoughts?
 

Good morning all -

I’m considering creating and organizing a podcast for vintage baseball collectors. After a recent visit to Cooperstown (and a VERY long drive home with time to think 😵*💫), I thought it might be a fun idea to organize a low tech, collector focused, live (but recorded) conversation 2-3 times a month where we talk about experiences we have in the hobby, specifically focused on the vintage baseball collector.

I am in the early stages of planning (though I have lots of ideas already!) and would love to hear from you:

- topics that would be fun to you?
- format… expert interviews? Live chat questions? Visuals (shared screen, etc)
- live and recorded for anyone interested to listen in but not available at the live scheduled time
- other programs that you have heard… likes, dislikes, etc.

This is intended to be organized for collectors, by a collector… so, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks all (and let me know if you’d like to be a future guest of this show that I haven’t started yet! Honestly - the expertise and “characters” I have gotten to know and enjoy here on Net54 is what inspired me to explore this)

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts…

I would love it if it were collector focused. Not so much if it was about investments and grading

Definitely be interested.

Just actually bought a decent mic as one of my goals this year is to get a podcast up and running on sports, vintage baseball, and a few other topics.

Would be fun to sync up and pick each other’s brain to see how we plan on doing that!

hi jeff theres hundreds of these on you tube,so think about that

Jeff, I think its a cool idea. Personally, I think it would be best if you conducted 30 minute interviews with collectors, auction houses, TPG employees, and others with a roll in the industry (like Leon/Net54 or BODA peeps, etc)

If you start it, I'll be a listener. Keep us posted if you decide to give it a shot.

What would even be better would be a Zoom with a limit of say, 15 or so participants of collectors, auction houses, TPG, magazine authors, etc,... where everyone can be on camera if they want.

That’s a cool idea… I like the interactivity of that model. Thx for the suggestion

I agree that 30 min interviews would be great. I would love to hear from TPG and AH folks but also from regular collectors like you say. Fun!

Great idea I’d definitely be a listener. I collect a few vintage tickets the guys at Talking Tickets get better every time I watch them. They had Beckett on last night speaking about their new ticket grading service. They also interview collectors and talk about auctions. I like their format. Here is a link to a previous show.
