In this collector conversation, I’m joined by Tony (@tj.isonline), a Philadelphia-based collector with a lifelong passion for cards, sports, and stories. From walking to games at the Vet as a kid to building a focused run of Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Reggie Jackson, and Moe Berg, Tony shares how his collection bridges generations.

We talk about:

Growing up next to the Philly stadiums and how that shaped his fandom
Why collecting is more than cardboard—it's about memories
His Wilt Chamberlain run and how it connects vintage and modern
Building shared collecting experiences with his son
Lessons from years of collecting across cards, LEGO, Star Wars, and more

This episode is a reminder of what collecting is really about—joy, relationships, and stories that span decades.
