In this episode, Ben and Neville is joined by Melbourne's very own James Anthony Joseph to talk all things collecting!


With James, it runs in the family! He started collecting at the tender age of three, following in his dad's footsteps, and now has 30 years experience in collecting. Aside of comics he also plays in markets for trading cards (including Pokemon and Magic) and retro games and gaming consoles.


We start with a retrospective look at James' journey as a collector of all things pop culture, and James shows off some of his favourite games and good scores he's had over the years. We discuss tips on what to look out for when buying games in the wild so you don't loose your pants.


We then deep dive into the emerging collectors market for games, and how it compares to 10 years ago, and then explore game grading and the opportunities that will bring to collectors and what it will likely mean for values in the future!



As always, crack a beer, put your feet up, and enjoy the episode with us.
