Trading with The Collective Mind for a Magazine that I'm Featured In!

Not too long ago, Greg from The Collective Mind was clearing out some unwanted items which happened to include a very specific issue of Sports Market Report magazine that I immediately claimed.

Now, you may think that I grabbed this because of Larkin on the cover, but you'd be wrong.  I'm actually featured in the cover story about Barry Larkin in the magazine - and while I did already own a copy of this magazine for myself, I couldn't help but jump at the chance to get a second copy.  

This is the only magazine that I've been featured in for my baseball card collection.  It's kind of funny that it's Sports Market Report where I ended up since that magazine seems to be almost entirely focused on graded cards which couldn't be further from my own collecting practices and beliefs!  Still, it was a fun process to be interviewed and then to see how the final article came together.  

Thanks to Greg for giving an opportunity for the rest of us to claim some of his unwanted items - definitely glad to have a second copy of the magazine!  For the record, I did write more about the magazine back in 2012 when it was originally released (see here for more details).
