House of Jordans - Sports Card Podcast
It's called THE Hobby for a reason. Collecting sports cards is culture, art, athletics, storytelling, community, technology, entertainment, speculation, and markets--all rolled up into one. It's an obsession for the three hosts of the "House of Jordans" podcast, who sit around a table once a week and discuss it.
