Based Trading Cards is proud to announce the launch of Voice of the Hobby, a new podcast hosted by Nick Jarman, Founder and CEO of the Certified Trading Card Association, and Alladan Flinn, Founder and CEO of Based Trading Cards. The show is built to bring the trading card community together through authentic conversations with collectors, local card shop owners, manufacturers, grading companies, breakers, marketplaces, content creators, athletes, entrepreneurs, and leaders shaping the future of the hobby.

Brian brings a unique perspective to the conversation, combining a lifelong passion for card collecting with a distinguished career in finance, trading, entrepreneurship, and team building. A graduate of Northern Illinois University with a degree in Finance, Brian is a member of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and Chicago Board of Trade, and has also served and consulted with several nonprofit organizations focused on community and youth development.

In the episode, Brian joins Nick and Alladan to discuss the evolution of the trading card hobby, the changing needs of collectors, and the role technology is playing in the future of collectibles. What began for Brian as a childhood love for cards has grown into LUDEX, a technology-driven platform designed to give collectors better tools, more insight, and new ways to manage and understand their collections.

Voice of the Hobby will feature exclusive interviews, hobby news and analysis, collector education, business and market insights, hobby security, fraud prevention, technology, innovation, and meaningful conversations designed to educate, inform, inspire, and unite the community.
