another edition of Local Leaders of the
Podcast. And first of all, before

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:25.760
we say anything else today, if
you hear a rumbling of thunder or lightning

6
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.199
or rain, which you shouldn't hear
much of that, but if you do,

7
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:34.039
it's porn outside cats and dogs and
so that's what you hear in the

8
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.679
background. But I've got a guest
sitting across from me, and if you

9
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:43.520
are in the collectibles field, you've
probably seen this guy around. He's been

10
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:48.240
around the collecting hobby, I guess
you could say, but not a hobby.

11
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:53.479
It's a lifestyle to as of us
do like to collect for a long

12
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.439
long time. His name is Kevin
Keithley, and he is opening a brand

13
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.280
new brick and order called K and
Him Collectibles. It's gonna be in Central

14
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.840
Louisiana, which is right outside of
Livingston Parish. Everybody from here and knows

15
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.480
where it's at. Uh. And
we're gonna talk today about the wide array

16
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:17.200
y'all wide array of things that he'll
be able to help you out with.

17
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.120
It's kind of what I would describe
as a hole in the market right now

18
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.760
in this community. And so I'm
I'm very thankful that he's opening it up

19
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:32.680
a brick and mortar that those of
us like myself that are enthusiast of collectibles

20
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.840
can go see him. And and
so we're gonna talk about all that today.

21
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.680
But first, Kevin, welcome to
local leaders. Thank you for having

22
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.640
me. We're excited to have you. And when we first talked, you

23
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.359
know, I couldn't wait to sit
you down and talk to you. It's

24
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.879
a it's a hobby, and I
keep referred to a hobby and I hate

25
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.959
to do that with coin collecting or
currency collecting or even you know, any

26
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.079
type of collecting stamps, sports memorability, any of that, because it's not

27
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.640
a hobby to people that are in
it. It's more like it that's almost

28
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.439
an offensive terms to people known as
a hobby though. But yeah, it's

29
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:12.520
it's collecting, it's collecting, and
it's investments in your future. Very very

30
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.960
true, very true. And you
have been doing it for a long time.

31
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.680
A matter of fact, forty five
plus years. Wow, that's a

32
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.000
Let me ask you this before we
even get into anything else. So do

33
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:30.439
you remember back when you first got
interested in in collecting. Um, yeah,

34
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.400
it was I was probably four or
five. Ye and every birthday and

35
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.960
Christmas, my grandfather would give me, you know, coins. Yeah.

36
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.039
And then you know, I turned
six and he was getting ready to pass

37
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.400
away, he gave me my first
gold coin. Yeah. It was a

38
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.840
real small you know, I think
it was a halfpence or whateverybody. It

39
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.719
was a gold coin and I just
cherished it. But I love the history

40
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.120
of coins. Yeah, so that's
what that's pretty awesome. We got your

41
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.759
gold coin, okay from my grandfather. Very good and and look I preach

42
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.759
it all the time to people,
but it really is a thing that that

43
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.879
parents can do with their kids.
You can pass it down to your kids.

44
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.919
It's it's a I guess you could
say, a pure hobby. And

45
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:22.960
that Um, they're learning things.
They're learning the value of investing, learning

46
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.560
how to save. Uh. It
really teaches them a lot of in history.

47
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.919
They learn a ton of history in
that type of thing. Yeah,

48
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:35.759
my grandfather was the coins. From
my father, I got stamps because he

49
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.960
was in the stamp collecting and stuff
the world and US stamps. Yeah,

50
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.319
and so off you went and it
was kind of like in the blood I

51
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.840
must it sounds like for you,
Uh, very very similar thing with me.

52
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.280
I kind of started out with you
know, as a kid, with

53
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.319
starting a penny collection and then it
just built from air and as I guess,

54
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:58.319
my income increase, said my interest, which sometimes could be a bad

55
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:02.080
thing, but uh, but it
has been uh something that I've done for

56
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.759
quite a while as well. My
first memory of you is uh at the

57
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.280
coin show that I put on in
that room. Yeah, yeah, so

58
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:15.560
you bought us raffle ticket and want
a gold coin. Who I know,

59
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.680
I sparked our friendship. That's it. We've been friends ever since. Yes,

60
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:26.120
absolutely. And uh and so you
you really established K and M Collectibles

61
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.600
back in twenty sixteen around that time
frame, Um, yes, Off and

62
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.800
on. Yeah, that's when I
really started my main business as coining,

63
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:39.040
uh coining currency supplies. K and
M Coining currency supplies. That's an apparent

64
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.199
company. And then you know,
sparking as I was, people was pushing

65
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.360
me to open up a store because
it was nothing around. Yeah. Then

66
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.920
Off branched in the coin uh,
the K and M collectible, Yeah yeah,

67
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:56.560
and and what I really like about
it in kinda in your early days

68
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.759
of that because I kept dryking about. Um, you you had really supplies

69
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.360
for just about anything you can imagine. You had a great web and still

70
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:12.160
have a great website. I carry
over seventy items. Yeah yeah, and

71
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:16.279

easy to navigate your website. I actually

72
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:21.120
went back on it yesterday evening preparing
for this. And and you can order

73
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:26.079

86
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.120
you can go pick it up straight
from K and M Collectible. So we're

87
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.519
gonna talk about where they're gonna be
located and all that in just a minute.

88
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.519
But tell me a little bit about
your family stuff like that. You

89
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:31.279
grow up where where did you grow
up? Was born in Roanoke, Virginia,

90
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:36.120
Virginia ways away, yeah, yeah, moved to Richmond, Virginia,

91
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:42.000
Civil War country. Um. And
that's another thing that sparked you on the

92
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.240
currency aspect of it, because that
was a capital and confederacy, so Confederate

93
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.759
notes for abundance up there. Yeah, and I had a ton of it

94
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.399
all the time. Yeah. Down
here, it's you know, it's a

95
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.720
little sparse getting it sometimes, but
I do get. But it sells quick,

96
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.600
yeah, it really does, and
becoming more and more scarce as time

97
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.000
goes by, h for sure.
And now you're in Central. How long

98
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:11.120
you've been in Central? About fourteen
years? Yeah? Yeah, very good,

99
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.680
very good. So a good stant
You're yeah, you're I'm here to

100
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.759
stay. You're here to stay for
sure. And let's talk about a little

101
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:23.480
bit about the nature of your business. So, yes, you do coins,

102
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.360
Yes you have currency, as you
just mentioned, but you have a

103
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.040
lot of other things. Let's put
it this way. All if you collect

104
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:34.319
it, there's a good chance he
might have it. Uh. Stamps you

105
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.920
mentioned that. Yeah, you have
not only stamps, but you have supplies

106
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.560
for stamps, right, supplies for
stamps. Uh. Sports cards. The

107
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.759
biggest, biggest thing hot right now
is Pokemon magic and D and D.

108
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.279
Yeah, Dungeon Dragon stuff. People
are you know, getting back into that.

109
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.439
And let me say this. Let
me say this for D and D

110
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.920
to tell you. You know,
all these youngsters running around and they tell

111
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.279
about dn D, and let me
let me educate you youngsters. I was

112
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.959
a youngster playing D and D when
it was just a book. It was

113
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.560
a little bitty book, and you
had four or five of them, and

114
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.759
you had a group of friends,
and basically you would just come up with

115
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.439
stories out of these dn D books. And I was always the one they

116
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.560
pick on and take all my power
away from me and all that sort of

117
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.199
stuff. But I was playing that
at like twelve years old, so that

118
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:35.080
actually sparked off Pokemon and Magic Dgmon
and all those there are now D and

119
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.720
D was the original. Dn D
was the original. And guaranteed if you

120
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.120
have some of those old original books
and stuff like that, those are probably

121
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.399
there's probably in value to those.
I would imagine I wish I had.

122
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.600
Yeah, there is. UM.
Now let's let's talk about Pokemon for a

123
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.519
second. So Pokemon, UM,
I can remember from from not from when

124
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.279
I was a kid, but I
can remember it coming up very popular,

125
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:07.240
and so it's still a hot dealing. Okay, they expanded it, um

126
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:15.960
and they say that there's over forty
thousand different Pokemon, really different versions of

127
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.320
Pikachu and all the Charles Arden and
all those there's there's for over forty thousand

128
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.159
different cards. Wow. Wow,
and you probably got close to every one

129
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:31.159
of them. So comic books,
let's talk about that, because comic books

130
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:37.639
are something that that have not gone
by the wayside and have been around a

131
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.759
long long time. I do a
lot of comic cons around the country set

132
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.919
up sell to supplies and stuff,
and it's an amazing amount of people that

133
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:52.759
collect comic books and memorability that goes
with the comic books. Yeah. Yeah,

134
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.000
and look, some of the most
beautiful art you'll ever see isn't especially

135
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.840
I mean, I'm I'm an old
guy, so my stuff goes back to

136
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:05.159
the seventies. But some of those
seventies comic books were just I can remember,

137
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.240
you know, I was always a
comic book fan when I was a

138
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.519
kid. Fantastic Four was my thing
way before the movie, you know what

139
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.000
I mean, Like I was,
I was a big Fantastic four fan and

140
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:20.519
and uh and just really love that
stuff. I remember in late seventies,

141
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:28.080
mid seventies, the Superman and Batman
came out with those big giant treasure books.

142
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.519
Yeah, that was some of the
first treasure comics. Yeah. I

143
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.840
used to read Archie comics, remember
those loved Archie. Uh some of those

144
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:41.200
can be worth some money really,
but I mean with any collectible dotes all

145
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:46.080
based on condition too. Yeah.
Absolutely, And that's something very important for

146
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.559
people to, uh, to keep
in mind. So if you're listening to

147
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.559
this, and I don't know,
maybe you're you're you're you know, someone

148
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.440
in your family, you inherited some
stuff, you have no idea what it

149
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.919
is, always keep in mind.
The better it looks, the more valuable

150
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.120
it is. If there's a value
to reason why I sell the supplies to

151
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.759
protect it. That's right. It's
a huge part of it. Yeah,

152
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.039
for sure. Uh. And you'll
see on our little table here this is

153
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.639
some of my collectibles that I had, because Kevin does stock a lot of

154
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.799
this stuff. And where we'll start
a little bit, I'll show y'all.

155
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.440
But with the rain, I didn't
want to be brained. Yeah, that's

156
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.960
right, and I already have mine
in here, so um. One of

157
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.080
the things you're gonna see here this
is a Capital Plastics holder. And anybody

158
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:35.519
in the industry knows Capital Plastics.
They're extremely well known. But they make

159
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:41.440
for really nice displays of coins,
and they have you know, they have

160
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.840
Capital Plastic holders that are huge as
big as this table from all sets,

161
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.879
yeah, pennies and you name it. They make it. Kevin, if

162
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.480
he doesn't stock it in his store, he can sure get it for you.

163
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.159
Quote your prices on that stuff.
But here you see this as a

164
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:01.480
twentieth century Walkers and it's got a
silver eagle in it and a Walking Liberty

165
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.440
half dollar. And these are these
are quite good grades. By the way,

166
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:11.000
now walking liberties probably MS sixty five
and we're probably talking Chinese to you

167
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.200
if you're not in the hobby,
but if you are, you know what

168
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.039
I mean. Yeah, and goes
nowadays. You know, um, what

169
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.240
year is this? I think that's
a I don't even know if it's two

170
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.600
thousand, two thousand, Yeah,
yeah, you're looking probably it's about a

171
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.159
forty five dollar coin. Yeah.
The way silver's going on, which is

172
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.759
not bad, uh really at all. And and I mean silver fluctuates you

173
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.759
also, it goes. Everything's based
off of the spot price plus um.

174
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:41.320
So if you see spot prices this
amount, well there's always a premium on

175
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.960
top of that. That's how anybody
makes money. Silver is is getting super

176
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.720
hard to get, even the mint's
going out having the boss silver. So

177
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.799
that's what's raising it. And it's
raising the premium because there's a band the

178
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:58.440
demand is harder than the supply.
Supplying demand always always a big deal when

179
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.000
it comes to silver and gold.
And we'll talk about that for a second.

180
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:09.960
In that you know, inflation,
Inflation right now is a big problem.

181
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:15.320
Okay, Everything everything you buy at
the grocery store nowadays is three or

182
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.320
four dollars higher. I mean,
milk is crazy, Eggs are crazy,

183
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.240
all these sorts of things. Well, what silver does for you or gold

184
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.960
if you're if you have a little
bit more money and you can invest it

185
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.120
in gold, is it hedges against
that inflation? So Ron Paul, whom

186
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.200
some of you may know, his
son. His son is in Congress now,

187
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.879
but he was in Congress a long
time. He made a point one

188
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:45.000
time in Congress when they had the
US Mint was there and they were talking

189
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.679
to him, and he pulled out
a silver eagle out of his pocket,

190
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.840
and he said, you can take
this silver eagle and you can put it

191
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:56.000
in your pillow right now, and
I can pull that same silver eagle out

192
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.639
in twenty years and it will buy
me the same amount of milk in twenty

193
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.879
years that it would buy me today, meaning that the price of that silver

194
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:09.440
would go up if the value of
the dollar goes down, and everything else,

195
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:15.000
everything else. That's right. So
forty years ago or thirty years ago,

196
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.240
that silver eagle might have only been
more three bucks, let's say,

197
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.559
but a gallon of milk was only
three bucks. Well, guess what if

198
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.840
you pulled that out today, you
could actually get a heck of a lot

199
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.399
more than one gallon of milk,
but not much, not much, you're

200
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.519
right, but that is the kind
of the point of it. It's real

201
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.279
money and all of those sorts of
things and and uh so those are the

202
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.559
things that you can learn through that
through collecting coins. So a lot of

203
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.399
people don't realize. In the early
two thousands, the government made it legal

204
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.039
where you could actually insert silver and
gold into your four or one k's right

205
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.639
to fiscal gold and silver. Yep, that's right, and uh in a

206
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.600
very smart thing to do for people
in a way, yeah us in way

207
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:05.960
no, because then somebody else has
possession of your well, I like stuff,

208
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.320
yeah, yeah, if you want
to keep it in your hand,

209
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.039
you can't do that. That's right, that's right. And I like physical

210
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.879
stuff because if if anything hits the
fan, uh, Kevin, I want

211
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:22.279
to make sure that I have it
in my hand. You know, I

212
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.279
don't want a computer program somewhere to
be like we deleted you're in the doory.

213
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:31.399
The one thing one thing about you
know, if the dollar bill falls

214
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.960
aside, you know, if you
go to um Jack Smith, hearn's a

215
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.960
gas station and he knows what silver's
worth. You can take a small silver

216
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.960
bar or silver rounds to him and
say, hey, you know two of

217
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.960
these, will they fill up my
gas tank? Yeah, and it's it's

218
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.720
a way of bartering. So that's
one thing I like about silver is you

219
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.639
can always have something what the item
is worth, then you always have something

220
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:00.519
to to warter with. Right,
That's exactly right. And uh, look,

221
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.879
I border, I will border with
a lot of people for silver.

222
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.279
There's no doubt about it. It's
real money. It's the same thing as

223
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.879
as money, and it care it
holds its value over time. And that's

224
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:14.639
the important thing, uh for me
and anybody invested in the star stock market

225
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.600
right now, which is that they
would have been invested physical time, cashed

226
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.919
in their you know, their retirement
plan or their stock market and bought silver.

227
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.080
Yeah, because they lost too much
money. Yeah, that's right.

228
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.360
And by the time they realize that, they're already out something. Right.

229
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.720
So you just want to And that's
not to say, look, I've got

230
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.879
some stocks. Not all stocks are
bad, but but you definitely want to

231
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:42.519
uh diversify, right, you know, divorce versify your portfolio. Had a

232
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.120
little bit of stock, have a
little bit of coins, have a little

233
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.720
bit of everything on that front,
and you'll be good. Now. UM,

234
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:55.039
let's talk about uh your currency for
a second. You mentioned, you

235
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:59.759
know, civil war currency obviously never
goes out of style. Uh, Confederate

236
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:04.079
currency. Um, you have everything
to go along with that though. So

237
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:11.119
you're gonna have the the holders for
the currency large note, small note,

238
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.240
yes, sir, fractional currency,
all those sorts of things. What about

239
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.519
like albums, Yeah, I gotta
carry a full line of albums, um,

240
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:25.519
all sorts of different holders. I
have over one hundred and forty different

241
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.960
currency supplies. Very good. And
as far as comic books, you have

242
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.720
the sleeves that they can be inserted
in that and y'all these are archival sleeves

243
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.920
a lot of times. But it's
not just the sleeves. I have UM

244
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.839
frames where you can hang them on
the wall and there you'd be protected.

245
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.759
So I mean you, if you
got a proud comic book you got,

246
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.599
you can actually hang it on the
wall and the sun won't fade it.

247
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.960
Yeah, because it's U protector,
really very good. And let me tell

248
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.839
you all the importance of that with
comic books. So if you don't have

249
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:59.920
UV protection, it's gonna yellow it. What will happen is over time sunlight

250
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:07.559
or even lights from fluorescent lighting incandescent
lighting will sit on that paper and it

251
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.400
it'll be just like a newspaper.
Think of a newspaper when you leave it

252
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.359
out over time, it turns very
yellow. Or you don't want that to

253
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.400
happen with your Walmart sales receipt.
Even after three or four days, the

254
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.880
thermal paper starts, you know,
fading. That's intentional, by the way,

255
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.400
I'm convinced of that. They do
that on the cashier that you self

256
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.160
checked out didn't do a good job, that's right. We can laugh about

257
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:37.480
that. We love private business around
here. Sorry Walmart. Uh so.

258
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.440
Um So. The point of all
that is, no matter what sort of

259
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:45.920
collectibles that you may be looking for, there's a good chance you have it.

260
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.799
And what would you say is the
hot thing right now? Out of

261
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.039
out of all the things you carry, what would you say, is it

262
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.559
the Pokemon stuff or the dd or
I'm sure they're all popular, but yeah,

263
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:02.400
Pokemon is really hot, right?
Uh that in gold and silver?

264
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.279
What about beanie babies? Beanie babies, there is a market for there.

265
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.720
Really. You have the boxes and
the and the cylinders for it. Um

266
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:15.880
it's more nostalgic than there is a
big value there. Everything comes full circle.

267
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:19.640
But the new beanie baby is the
fungal pops. Really, those are

268
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:27.319
little bubble head fungal pops and there's
over twenty thousand funga pops. Huh.

269
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:32.119
Who would have figured it? And
maybe they'll make one of you. Well,

270
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.119
let me get there, you go, I'm ready, Uh, let

271
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:40.839
me You know this is interesting to
me and uh, and I see this

272
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.640
in the history of collecting. So
like when I was a kid, one

273
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:51.200
memory that sticks out to me more
than anything else is the very first game

274
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:55.559
room that opened near my house and
it was close enough to walk to and

275
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:57.319
I walked to it and I walked
in. I was probably look, this

276
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:00.759
is back when time's were safer,
but I was probably only ten then.

277
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:06.680
But I go in this game room
and there's Frogger and pac Man and these

278
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:10.799
are the real one, y'all from
nineteen eighty three. These this is the

279
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.599
real stuff, the stand up version. And it was all these lights and

280
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.400
I was just blown away. And
I can remember that distinctly in my mind.

281
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.599
Um. Now fast forward, I'm
forty eight, almost forty nine years

282
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:27.480
old, and I would buy one
today to put in here. Those are

283
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.519
collectible. I don't do those.
I don't deal enough. Yeah, but

284
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:37.039
they're and what they call antique collectibles. Yeah, and it brings you back

285
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.720
to a time. And so the
point I'm getting at is like beanie babies,

286
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:45.119
for example, some of those people
that are collecting them now were people

287
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.640
that may have collected them then whenever
that you know, when the early nineties

288
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.480
when they were really hot or whatever
and they had the tie and the little

289
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:59.400
tag on there. Um, those
people now are circling around where that brings

290
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:02.559
them back to a time in their
life they were happy and they can remember.

291
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.839
And so it's funny how all those
things come full circle and you get

292
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:11.319
to see that you know more than
most right. Yeah, some collectibles are

293
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.839
not all about money. Yeah,
about you know, feelings, absolutely absolutely.

294
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.920
It's what makes the that hobby so
such a beautiful hobby. Now let

295
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:25.599
me um, let's talk about the
show circuit real quick. So, um,

296
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:29.599
you didn't have a brick and mortar
until now, but before that you

297
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.279
were actively involved in the hobby.
And that was three shows, right,

298
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.440
shows are a big deal. I
met you at a show. Um,

299
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.640
there's one coming up. We want
to mention, Well, I did have

300
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:45.920
a brick and mortar years ago up
in Virginia. Did you realize okay about

301
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:52.400
fifteen years okay, interesting life changes
and ended up closing to move down here.

302
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.400
Yeah, very good. So so
you started on that show circuit though

303
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.680
when you were down here and and
uh, there's a big one coming up

304
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:02.960
that that we want to mention because
this will air on Friday, so to

305
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.599
be the same weekend that this show
is, and that is the Bloxy Show.

306
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.640
Did they have a name for that
BLUXI Mississippi State Show. Okay,

307
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.799
it's one of the biggest shows in
the country, I would I would venture

308
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:22.000
to say, and you've done definitely
the one biggest one in Louisiana, Mississippi

309
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:23.720
area. Yeah. And how many
booths you got at that? I got

310
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:30.160
about twenty tables? You got some
stuff to break, man, that's got

311
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.400
to be some work setting all that
up. Good grief, Wow, Kevin,

312
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.640
Hopefully I'll be Yeah, that's the
thing. You pull it all out,

313
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:41.799
you put it up, and you
think, hopefully when I have to

314
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.599
pack up, it's just tables and
no stock. Yeah, but a great

315
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.039
show. And I've actually been to
that show myself in the past. Uh,

316
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.680
and it's at the cal sum there
on Beach Boulevard. That's right,

317
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:57.680
and always always a fun time at
that one. Uh have you ever done

318
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:02.519
the one in Orlando? The Fun
Show? Really you've done that one?

319
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.160
Now, I've been to that one, but I've never donna go. Yeah,

320
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.200
years ago, I've done it and
stuff when I lived up in Virginia.

321
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.559
But it's just too far off a
drive from here. Yeah. Yeah,

322
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.799
it's a way eleven hours. Just
get there and you're packing, you

323
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:19.880
know, inventory all that way.
It's not like you're going to actually went

324
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:23.920
though. One year I scheduled a
Disney World trip around it, so it

325
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:26.200
was like, oh, I didn't
know they had a coin show this week.

326
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.359
I snuck off and my wife was
like, where are you going?

327
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:34.799
I said, coinche coinche turned us
into a right off. So just kidding,

328
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:40.119
I RS. But uh, but
yeah, that that's also another big

329
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.759
show that is very popular in the
hobby. Now let's talk about your brick

330
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:48.160
and mortar. So, uh,
first of all, you chose Central,

331
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.519
no surprise, you're from well you're
not from Central, but you're pretty much

332
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.400
from there. You've been there fourteen
years. Um, the Central community been

333
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.960
good to you. Yeah, Central
has very good. And you I knew

334
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:06.480
you're a member of the chamber there, uh and uh active in the in

335
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:10.440
the chamber, so it was kind
of a no brainer. Um incidentally,

336
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:11.839
folks, and I'm gonna put this
in the show notes as well. But

337
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:18.759
one three four one four Hooper road
is you're a dressing central. Uh So

338
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:25.279
you'll be opening up. When's your
first day? Monday Monday fifteen Mondays.

339
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.119
So just a couple of days after
this airs, you'll be good and uh

340
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.359
am ready to go. I'm ready
to see coming from from ten to five

341
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:36.920
Monday Friday, and then Saturday's by
appointment. So you call and if you

342
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.319
got something you want him to look
at, or you're looking to buy some

343
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.480
things, he'll he'll walk you through
that process. Reason I did day is

344
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:47.960
because I do still a lot of
shows. So that way I'm not closing

345
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.519
one or two days a week.
You know absolutely wagon say hey this weekend,

346
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.720
I can't have appointments. Yeah,
yeah, no doubt about it.

347
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.759
So they'll be wide open and ready
for you though come one day. So

348
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.440
uh and like I said, we'll
put the address and stuff in the show

349
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.440
notes. And so you're getting ready
for this brick and mortar. Like any

350
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.519
business, A lot of a lot
of business people watch this show and and

351
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.480
red tape the biggest, the biggest
problem with getting anything up, and it's

352
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:17.759
just something we all have to go
through. But it's like, oh,

353
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.119
come on, I mean, you
know, I gotta hang my fire extinguisher

354
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.440
on the wall to pass the inspection. I can't just have it sitting on

355
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.920
the counter, you know, but
nope, they want it on the wall.

356
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.079
I can speak from experience on that. So let me get a nail

357
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.200
and hang this up for you.
Um. So the red tape that is,

358
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:37.599
that is obviously the biggest, uh, the biggest hurdle, but you

359
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:42.160
got through that. Um. And
as we're talking right now, people are

360
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.680
seeing you know, you sent me
a picture of the entrance to your to

361
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.799
your store, so that should be
popping up right here and uh. And

362
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:53.480
then you know, as we've been
talking about all these collectibles that you that

363
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:57.079
you keep, those are going to
be popping up during this So I say

364
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:02.079
all that to say this, y'all. If you're listening to the audio version,

365
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:04.880
go to YouTube watch the video version, because you're going to actually see

366
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:10.599
pictures of some of the things that
we've been talking about during this, uh

367
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.200
this particular podcast and out by the
road, I got a big Marquis sign

368
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.039
that says kindam collectible. So driving
down the road, came miss the sea,

369
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.880
came missing it. If you miss
it, Kevin, I'll chase you

370
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:26.640
down. He'll be running behind you
throwing coins at your car. So,

371
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:33.759
uh, you know you ended up
opening this brick and mortar and you were

372
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.799
seeing success on the show circuit right
you were, Um, it wasn't like

373
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.519
you, you know, you couldn't
make it work and this was just a

374
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:42.039
step to trying to make it work. You were making it work. What

375
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.880
kind of led you to just go
for it and open a brick and mortar?

376
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.640
Just the love of the hobby.
Yeah, yeah, And I'll hold

377
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:56.440
in the market honestly here locally,
especially you know with right now. I

378
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.480
bought so ments, so much coins
and silver and stuff because people are hurting

379
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.640
for money. Yeah. So you
know I was buy appointment only and working

380
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:08.359
out an office. Now this will
you know, they can just come to

381
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:12.720
me Monday through Friday from eight to
five, no appointment necessary, just walk

382
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:17.880
in and be able to sell me
stuff if they need cash. Yeah yeah,

383
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.119
um, well not really cash because
in Louisiana. You have to hate

384
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.279
by check. Yeah, uh they
need a paper trail, but yeah,

385
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.720
it's good as cash. What about
like if someone has scrap gold, you

386
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:33.279
know, Burke jewelry, by that, by that, Burke silver, yep,

387
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.240
so he buys all that too.
Uh, so you can bring you

388
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:38.839
know, if you've got some old
necklaces, you'd be surprised with what they

389
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:41.839
might be worth. If you know, he's got testers there. He's gonna

390
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:47.039
make sure that it's uh silver or
that it's gold. And if it turns

391
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:49.319
out that it is, uh,
you know, you get some scrap gold

392
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:53.480
pricing and and you'd be surprised.
But you got what's really popular is the

393
00:27:53.519 --> 00:28:00.200
old silver um flatwearer. Yeah yeah, yeah, that your grandmother they have

394
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.880
left you or whatever, that's right, or lie cashing that in that's right,

395
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.680
that's right. So if you grew
up with a silver spin in your

396
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:11.119
mouth, bring it up there Ken, there's no problem at all. And

397
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.119
uh and so that but very important
to mention because that's something that right now

398
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.839
you know, Uh, there's nothing
wrong with pawn shops and people go to

399
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.119
them, but they don't specialize in
this stuff, right, I mean you

400
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:29.319
specialize in it. There's a that's
a difference to me. And and bring

401
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:33.200
your kids by. If they're not
familiar with collecting, He'll introduce them,

402
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.160
you know, in you if you're
not familiar with it. If if they

403
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.720
watch Pokemon or whatever, but they
don't understand the collectible value of these things.

404
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:45.480
These are things that these shops give
you that you can't get by just

405
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:52.119
watching YouTube or whatever. Right,
so something very important to mention on that

406
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.559
front. Now, you're doing a
ribbon cutting coming up on the tenth of

407
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:02.039
June with the Central Chamber of Commerce. Them folks, good folks over there.

408
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:07.200
Yea very good, very good and
I know some former Chamber Central Chamber

409
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.079
folks that very good friends of mine
and good people over there at the Central

410
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.759
Chamber of Commerce. Now, so
let's talk about social media, and let's

411
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:21.359
talk about the ways that you have
been able to use not only social media

412
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:27.440
but also websites and outside of your
own in order to assist customers no matter

413
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:33.599
how they may purchase something. For
example, Amazon, let's take that Amazon

414
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:38.920
is is something that you have used
for a while as as an outlet to

415
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:42.720
sell. Right, have an Amazon
store, I have an eBay store,

416
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:48.000
plus my website. Yeah, and
uh, and you also have a big

417
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.640
social media presence. So you're on
instant right, You're on Facebook, You're

418
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.279
on obviously eBay. As we mentioned
Amazon, I have a page candam coining

419
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:02.000
currency supplies like me on there,
and then I'll so have Candem Collectibles the

420
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:04.400
Facebook page on there. And what's
the difference in them to Facebook pages.

421
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:08.599
One is talking about the collectibles,
you know, that joins the currency and

422
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:12.440
stuff. The other one is just
strictly supplies. Yeah. Yeah, so

423
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:17.279
you can go on there and give
them a like, uh on Facebook.

424
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:19.400
I want to see that jump after
this podcast. And in that way I

425
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:23.920
can take all the credit for it, ke because I see built your face.

426
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:29.200
Um. And of course your website
is we talked about earlier. You

427
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.000
can buy coins directly off there,
but you do eBay as well. For

428
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:37.640
you folks that maybe you know strictly
ebayers, I mean, the great thing

429
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.279
about what you're doing, and when
I really dug deep into your business,

430
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.480
is that you're you really are coming
full circle now with However, people like

431
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.559
to buy a lot of people when
they're dealing with their silver and their gold

432
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.920
and their hobby stuff. They want
to do that face to face, right,

433
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.000
they want to see the what push
this, you know, the brick

434
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:02.119
and mortar building is. You know, coins on the internet are so hard

435
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:06.519
to do because people want to you
know, there's fakes out there. There's

436
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:11.200
so much fakes and people are overgrading
stuff and all that that you know are

437
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:15.640
clean coins or whatever. So that's
the reason. You know, the people

438
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:18.319
want to hold it in their hand
to look at before they put out that

439
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.160
money. That's right. And and
I'll tell you this as well. Um,

440
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.920
with the camera technology, now you
can make a coin look dang good

441
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:33.279
and then get it in the mail
tapping to me. And it made grade

442
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.519
what they said it graded, but
it sure didn't look as nicely toned in

443
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:40.640
person as it did on that picture. What they did was they played with

444
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:45.359
a little bit and made those those
golds and pinks pop in that. Now

445
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:51.079
you're really just you're really confusing people
because they don't know. They have no

446
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:52.759
idea, but we're going to explain
it to them. Great thing about a

447
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:57.480
podcast, So y'all what toning is. And I don't know how well this

448
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:00.359
will show up on camera, but
I'm gonna grab this one because it's a

449
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:06.519
little bit better. So this is
a Canadian uh dollar from nineteen seventy two.

450
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:08.599
Hopefully y'all can see that, and
I'm gonna kind of tilt it just

451
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:14.039
like that, and what you're gonna
see, hopefully is you're gonna see a

452
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:16.960
little bit of coloration in that coin. It is a silk pro oxidation,

453
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:22.359
yep. And it's that's right.
The air and the atmosphere or whatever you

454
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.920
know. It brings yellows, blues, purples make some pop on the coins.

455
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:30.960
I like that. I consider that
art. There are some collectors that

456
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:35.160
say that's corrosion and they don't like
it. I'm sure you've heard that,

457
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.880
and I look at them like they
got three heads and I'm like, well,

458
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:39.400
then I'll buy it if you don't
want to buy it. Um.

459
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:45.359
That's a great thing about this particular
hobby is is everybody has their own taste,

460
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.599
you know. And I personally love
tone coins. Um. I know

461
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.480
some people that want to do what
they called dipping in the hobby every single

462
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:59.640
tone coin they have. And I'm
like different coin cleaners coin dips and stuff

463
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.720
because I have a lot of customers
to do metal detecting. Yeah, and

464
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:06.440
you know, if a coin's been
in the ground, for you on two

465
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:08.200
hundred years, they may name be
able to see what type of coin is,

466
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:10.839
so they need something to clean that
grossian off and stuff. So I

467
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:19.480
carry a wide variety of stuff absolutely
absolutely something for everybody really and and just

468
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:23.200
about every hobby as well. Um, let me ask you because you and

469
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:27.400
I talked off camera about this,
but you're you know, you're a coin

470
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:31.400
collector. That's of all the things
that you sell, your favorite as coins

471
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:36.759
and currency, right sir, And
so I'm gonna ask you a question for

472
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:39.519
me. So as far as coins
are concerned, what is your favorite to

473
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:45.039
collect? Um, Morgan's me too, Me too, Morgan dollars. If

474
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:49.039
you don't know what that is,
shame on you. But we're gonna make

475
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:52.640
one pop up right now so you
can see what a Morgan dollar looks like.

476
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:59.359
Absolutely beautiful coins and and mine as
well. What about currency anything in

477
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:04.319
Civil War? Um no, some
of the earlier large notes, yeah,

478
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:08.840
are really pretty. Something the what
they called the silver dollar. Actually,

479
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:14.480
yeah, picture of the Morgan on
the bike yep, yep. Martha Washington's

480
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:20.159
the educational series all that is so
pretty and it's artwork all that hand.

481
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.400
Yeah. Nowadays, you know the
money is printed or the dyes for the

482
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:29.800
money is printed by a computer,
and it makes the old money look,

483
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:34.400
you know, like artwork. And
for me, it would be the porthole.

484
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:39.159
The porthole pretty favorite probably a piece
of currency. Ever, as far

485
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:44.840
as US currency and Mexico currency from
back in the day was very colorful.

486
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:47.000
Yeah, and they had large notes
too, they had large notes as well.

487
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:52.159
And uh. And so I had
gotten to a point in the currency

488
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:58.119
side of of what I collected where
I was seeking out specifically currency from Mexico

489
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:01.000
because man, back in the day
they made some and really their coins,

490
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:06.079
their coins from back in the day, we're just absolutely beautiful. Their silver

491
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:13.159
uh pacos and stuff like that.
We're really well well made and just beautiful

492
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.239
coins. So uh, I only
what it is about Mexico, but I

493
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:20.239
always like their currency and their coins
outside of the United States. I got

494
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:24.599
two Mexican pieces in right now,
actually one Mexican one Puerto Rico. Um.

495
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:30.599
They're from the early eighteen hundreds o
wilver pieces. Really they bring a

496
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:34.760
couple hundreds to piece. M you
should have brought one of those with you.

497
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:38.960
Actually, I'm glad you didn't.
I'd probably be giving you one of

498
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:45.199
these mics. Look, I trade
you mic collect mics, that's right.

499
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:50.119
Um, So so that's interesting as
well. So you do deal in some

500
00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:54.039
world currency and world coins also,
very good. Look at that, y'all.

501
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:59.760
A little bit for all of y'all. Um, So, how about

502

523
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:37.159
I'm in town a weekend and I'm
uh in uh Birmingham, Alabama to come

524
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:40.840
a con. Wow. Man,
you world traveler over here? How many

525
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:45.400
how many shows do you did you
go to? Every years? Years ago?

526
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:50.440
I was doing about fifty two shows
a year. What now I'm down

527
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:55.239
to um because I'm older, I'm
down to probably twenty five. Wow,

528
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.920
that's still a lot of gas.
And but it's because I love people.

529
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.480
I love meeting people and you know, seeing the different parts of the country.

530
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:08.599
Yeah, very good. Years ago
when I was traveling the coin circuit

531
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:13.840
and doing all the different shows.
There's only two states I've never been in,

532
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:16.840
Washington and California. Yeah. I've
been in every state, uh,

533
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:22.320
the country US. Yeah, but
those two very in California. If you

534
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:28.639
buy something in California twenty years ago
and you sell it in Virginia, California

535
00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:32.280
once their tax because you bought it
in their state. So that's the reason

536
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:37.440
I never went there. Is crazy. Yeah. Man, they've got some

537
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:42.199
crazy rules of California. That's you
know what I mean. They're they're in

538
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:46.719
country over there, I think sometimes, but but very interesting it you've been

539
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:52.599
just about everywhere else. Wow,
that's that's an accomplishment. And uh and

540
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:57.079
so you're doing a bunch of those
shows, but you'll be back here.

541
00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:00.639
Uh. And if you're curious,
like he said, that's why he does

542
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:02.639
appointment only on Saturdays, is he
may be at a show, he may

543
00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:07.360
not be in town. The UM. Yeah, definitely check us out.

544
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:12.239
But uh, my phone number for
the shop is gonna be two two five

545
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:16.960
two five five three six one.
UM. Chances are you know, if

546
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:20.719
I'm not this show, I'm gonna
be in town now. I'll probably open

547
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.159
so and even though I'm by appointment
only, if I'm in town. I'll

548
00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:27.719
probably open that Saturday for you know, I'm ten to three or something like

549
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.000
that, tob full day. Very
good, very good. And uh,

550
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:32.960
but he'll he'll stay there in full
day if you if you're in there,

551
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:37.679
he ain't kicking you out. He
ain't gonna get you out. Uh.

552
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:42.880
So that's good as well. And
look, we can't stress it enough.

553
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:45.800
Bring bring uh, bring your family
buy. It's a it's a family fun

554
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:51.519
atmosphere. It's gonna be over there, K and M and and uh.

555
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:59.480
He can educate you or or whoever
on whatever hobby they're interested in. As

556
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:04.000
far as lecting is concerned. Um, let's talk stamps for a second.

557
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:07.719
So stamps way back in the day
were super popular, like they were as

558
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:15.079
popular as coin coin collecting. Currency
collecting at that probably at that stage wasn't

559
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:17.039
even that big a deal. People
people spent currency, they didn't want to

560
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:22.719
collect it, right, And at
some point somebody saw some value in that

561
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:27.960
and and everybody started, you know, wanting to collect currency. But stamps

562
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:32.480
kind of have their ups and downs. But you also have some very um,

563
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:37.159
some very loyal collectors and stamp industry, I would say, and it's

564
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:40.599
more of an older hobby. You
know, I've noticed that, you know,

565
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:44.559
more of my stamp customer or stamp
customers, and you know, the

566
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:49.039
people to buy the supplies are older
generation. Yeah you know, I'm not

567
00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:52.599
young teens or whatever, but it's
the older generation, right, And back

568
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.840
in the day they had they had
cool stamps, I mean it was you

569
00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:01.119
know. Now it's yeah that um
forever stamp has killed the market for new

570
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:06.920
new collectibles, but the old stuff
is still very quite collect I have one.

571
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.079
I don't know if it's worthy thing, but it's an upside down airplane

572
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:15.199
and everybody, you're just holding the
stamp upside down. That's what it is.

573
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:20.159
Look it's it is. It's upside
down. The ring is upside down.

574
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:22.639
Yea for those of you that may
not know, that's like a very

575
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:30.039
valuable stamp. So so yeah,
that uh stamp collecting though, is very

576
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:34.599
loyal, and I would imagine at
your shows you see a lot of the

577
00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:37.320
same people at each show, right, like you've become good friends with probably

578
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:39.519
a lot of these yeah, and
a lot of dealers. Opt. I

579
00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:44.280
have a wide variety of dealers that
I work with, So you know,

580
00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:46.840
if I don't have in stock what
you're looking for. Chances are I can

581
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:50.719
find somebody that does and I can
get it in for you. Yeah.

582
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:53.400
Yeah, very important to keep in
mind. So if you're if you're someone

583
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:59.360
and you're missing that nineteen sixteen d
Mercury dime and that's the only one you

584
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:02.079
need. For those of you that
don't know, that's the key date in

585
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:07.239
that Mercury dime collection. If you
don't have it, he'd probably track you

586
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:12.639
one down. As a matter of
fact, I know he could, so

587
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:20.440
um so very important that that that's
the importance of really personal relationships that you

588
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:22.719
have with people when you're in that
higby, especially when you're talking big money.

589
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.320
You want someone you can trust,
right, And that trust is the

590
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:30.800
key exactly. And there's the reason
I like doing the shows, you know

591
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:34.480
for the years, because I got
to know what deals I could trust that

592
00:42:34.519 --> 00:42:37.559
would price things right, It would
great coins right, so that I could

593
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:40.320
call him and say, hey,
you have this, what type of grade

594
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:44.119
is it? You know, and
they would ship it to me and have

595
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:47.880
it for the customer. Very I
could trust them, very important, and

596
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:52.039
trust from a standpoint of, hey, if I bring something, if I

597
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:57.519
look, if I'm someone that knows
nothing of coins. And I were to

598
00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:00.400
bring you this, and I were
to say, Kevin, I don't know

599
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:05.159
what this is. You know,
I inherited it. Um, how much

600
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:07.559
is this worth? It'd be real
easy for Kevin to take that and look

601
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:12.920
at it and say I have three
bucks, or he could be honest and

602
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:15.880
say what it's worth. Now,
this ain't a million dollars. It's beautiful

603
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:22.719
though, it's wreaking abe Lincoln.
But um uh, he's gonna give you

604
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.519
straight price. He's gonna give you, you know what the going value on

605
00:43:25.719 --> 00:43:31.599
buying that is gonna be. That's
important. Bringing some bunch of Morgans to

606
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:37.199
me the other day. Um,
he took him by a pawn shop and

607
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:40.760
I'm not gonna say the name or
whatever the pun shop. But he took

608
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:45.679
him by a pawn shop, I'm
am sure where it was, and they

609
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:50.320
were gonna give him two dollars three
dollars a piece for him a piece a

610
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:54.320
piece, and you know, and
he knew because of silver, he knew

611
00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:59.199
that that was wrong. So he
ended up taking him back and bringing him

612
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:02.199
to me, and he got he
got quite a bit more. Yeah that's

613
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:07.440
bad. And yeah, they're probably
like, well that's thirty downs faceback.

614
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:13.280
Oh lord, that's bad. Yeah, make sure that you're dealing with We

615
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:17.360
call these reputable dealers in the industry. And look, there are some shops,

616
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:22.440
whether it be pawn shops or whatever
that maybe they'll give you scrape silver

617
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:25.159
on something that may be worth a
lot more because they don't know it's all

618
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:30.400
fair stone conditions. Yeah, yeah, it is. It is. So

619
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:32.960
it's not to say, like Kevin
said, it's not to pick on one

620
00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:37.440
particular industry, but they're not experts
in it. They're gonna give you what

621
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:40.199
they know they can sell it for. And so they're looking at a coin

622
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:45.480
that may be a you know,
the most a corson City Morgan for example,

623
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:49.480
which I must in any condition is
worse some good money, and they

624
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:52.719
may be looking at that and uh
saying, well, I mean scrape silver

625
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.960
is you know, twenty dollars an
ounce or whatever it is, thirty dollars

626
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.440
an ouns. I'm gonna give them
thirty bucks. Not because they're trying to

627
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:04.280
be dishonest. He's just don't know. They're not in the industry, right,

628
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.719
um, Kevin is. So he's
gonna tell you, you know,

629
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:09.840
well, that's worth eighty bucks or
whatever, if it's if it's a car.

630
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:14.199
I sit there and watch those TV
shows online, you know, the

631
00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:16.960
pawn stars and stuff out in Las
Vegas, and you know they bring somebody

632
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:21.039
who bring something in and they get
their praiser in and it's this, and

633
00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:24.639
then they go, well it's automaic
we have Yeah with me, it's not

634
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:29.639
that way. Yeah. I'll tell
you up from what the item is worth,

635
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:32.480
and I pay eighty percent of the
value. Yeah, so I make

636
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:36.239
you know when it sells, if
it sells next week, or if it

637
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:39.159
sells ten years from now, I
make twenty percent. Yeah, So that's

638
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:44.079
as fair as I can be.
That's that's fair. Yeah, no complaints

639

670

know, dealing with me or any other

671
00:47:42.280 --> 00:47:45.880
small business you know, is you
know, let's say you have a big

672
00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:51.480
collection in the bank. Yeah,
okay, I'll even go for a small

673
00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:53.320
fee. I'll go to the bank
and to praise it for you. Yeah.

674
00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:58.480
And I've sat many of bank vaults
with the clients and actually a praise

675
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:02.480
to collections or whatever with lawyers or
whatever. If it's inheritance, absolutely,

676
00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:05.880
you know, instead of bringing it
to me, I'll come to you.

677
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:09.800
Yeah. And you may need it
appraised obviously, a fie. I mean,

678
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:13.559
he's got to be compensated for his
time. I mean a lot of

679
00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:16.440
people need it for an insurance writer
because a lot of people don't realize that

680
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:22.039
their homes average homers does not cover
silver, silver and gold and stuff,

681
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.480
so they have to have a separate
rider. Yeah, that's right, That's

682
00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:30.519
exactly right. And I found that
out years after I had insurance. Uh.

683
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:34.880
I was just talking to my agent
one day and I mentioned I have

684
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:38.039
you know at that point, not
saying I have that now, y'all because

685
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:40.039
I keep all that in the vault. I don't keep it at my house

686
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:45.239
anymore. But I had a large
collection at my house. And he's like,

687
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:47.760
uh, you don't have any insurance
on that. And I'm like,

688
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:51.840
yeah, they got homeowners And he
says, no, you don't. You

689
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:54.079
gotta have a separate rider for that. You gotta have an endorsement. And

690
00:48:54.159 --> 00:49:00.480
it's it's uh, the same thing
with like furs or furniture, but antique

691
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:05.199
furniture, you know, if it's
you know, my wife's family's got a

694
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:19.719
