Do Card Vendors Need Content Now? Phil, Stateside Sports | 3rd Down Pulled

This week, Ben catches up with Phil from Stateside Sports at the end of a long, hot weekend at London Card Show. Phil talks about getting his wife into women's football cards (and how it's now doubled the spending), Stateside doing singles at a show for the first time, and the haggling that comes with it: one more card in, one card out, cash or no cash, until you've lost track completely. He also explains why Stateside's laid-back approach works for them, what's next for the stand, and why he thinks content and cards can't be separated any more if you want to grow in the hobby.
