The audio version of my YouTube channel (Because I'm Carlos), this podcast features my conversations with fellow Sports Card collectors, industry insiders, and hobby questions brought from listeners and viewers.
Enjoy the conversations which are hobby-based, but can certainly delve into other areas of collecting and life.

Too much Hockey Talk & Choices in our Collecting | BIC 79
This episode mostly discusses the completion of the Western Conference Finals as Carlos and Bobbles have their post-mortem while Eric gets to watch other tortured hockey fans for a change of pace.
(1:07:20) Then the discussion shifts to making choices in our collecting and moving on from cards that don't serve us, even if it means selling "iconic" or otherwise desirable cards.
