Opening The National With the Biggest Names in Sports Cards: T-pott, Ty Wilson, and More!

Collector Nation did not just attend the 46th Annual National Sports Collectors Convention. We opened The National live from the Mike Berkus Memorial Stage.

Ryan Alford and Jeremy Levine are joined by Steve “Greenie” Greenberg, Chasing Cardboard’s Ty Wilson, grading legend Mike Baker, LUDEX founder Brian Ludden and Sports Card Investor’s T-Pott for a series of unfiltered conversations from the biggest event in the hobby. They get into hidden collections, sports card grading, counterfeits, artificial intelligence, market data, collector technology and where the hobby is heading next.

Mike Baker explains why a “perfect” card can still miss a 10, while Brian, T-Pott, Ty and Greenie bring their perspectives on discovery, pricing, content and the rapidly changing collector experience. This is Collector Nation’s front-row look at the people, technology and ideas shaping the future of sports cards.
