Pepper Hastings and I discuss our visit(s) up to Stevens Point, Wisconsin back in the day to meet with Larry and Jeff about their millions of cards - their setup was truly one of the seven wonders of the collecting world.  Larry and Jeff are dearly missed, both having suffered untimely deaths to cancer (Larry in 2007) and heart disease (Jeff in 2017).

089 - Tribute: Larry and Jeff Fritsch (with Pepper Hastings)

Pepper and I talk about the early days of Beckett Publications contrasted with later days, spanning more than two decades, including the true story of the midnight disposal of damaged copies of the inaugural issue #1 of Beckett Baseball Card Monthly.  Our final story tells the true tale of Pepper's round of golf with Tiger Woods on behalf of our company.

075 - Then and Now: Pepper Hastings

Pepper was one of the first full-time non-family employees for Beckett Publications, coming in summer of 1986, and served well in a multiplicity of leadership roles for more than two decades.  We discuss those early days - how he got started and how we handled the rapid growth as best we could.
