SPEAKER 1: Here, honey. What is up everybody? Welcome to episode 295 of Sports Car Nation. Got a guest on today. A gentleman doing big things. One of the ambassadors, for the national, but this guy hits a lot of shows, including the national and travels, the country, support in the hobby. And that's, Darryl Garner.

SPEAKER 1: But many might know him more as Doctor Collectible and, got to meet him at the National Hope. Everyone had a great national if you went and they're doing well, got some cool cards, and, maybe, maybe brought some money back. Po possibly. I, I actually did, I didn't spend all my budget but, I'm happy to report too.

SPEAKER 1: I got my Tom Seaver rookie. I got a PS A six. That was my big target or my main target. I should say, got some other stuff, but that was the, the big card for me. One that I had on my list last year and, and kind of struck out last year. But, did not, strike out this year. I got a really good deal on it.

SPEAKER 1: To be, honest with you and happy overall with the transaction. Cleveland was a lot of fun. I know there were some bumps in the road but once you got in the building and, you know, I know the wife idea, but once you got in the building, it was a great show. Even though I didn't partake in it, the food trucks were very cool and, I had a great time.

SPEAKER 1: I, I, you know, ranks right up there as one of my, favorite nationals. And again, we start, count down the days right to the, to the next one, which is in Chicago. So, but, we're gonna talk a, to Darryl Garner. Doctor Collectible, here, we're gonna take a quick 32nd break and we're back with Doctor Collectible.

SPEAKER 1: All right. Real excited to have my next guest on the sports card shop guest line. He is widely known. He's almost, probably needs no introduction, almost, at this point. But, great positive upbeat person, something, we definitely, need in the hobby, and, happy to have him.

SPEAKER 1: We're gonna talk national. We're recording this, before the Cleveland National. But it, it probably won't air until afterwards. Just keeping that, keep that in mind, during, you know, for those listening out there. But, without further ado, Darryl Garner or a K A doctor collect. But welcome.

SPEAKER 3: Hey, appreciate you having me on, it's dope to be on incredible platforms that push that positivity, push the hobby, you know, try to get the word out to the people.

SPEAKER 3: As it says right here, the hobby is the people. So, that, that's what I'm all about. So I appreciate you having me. Yeah, thanks.

SPEAKER 1: Thanks. Darryl. And, you know, that's our tagline. I, I came up with it probably four years ago. The shows a, you know, maybe five, the show is six years old, six years old and, and, you know, obviously we all have a passion and love for the hobby and collectibles and the cards themselves. Right? But it's, it's all of us, right?

SPEAKER 1: Without us, there would be no hobby. So that's kind of the no sexy story. I came up with the, the tagline rather quickly. The hobbies of people. It's the stories behind the cards and, you, integral part of, of that, you know, it's kind of the, the standard start off podcast podcast question, but this is your first time on this one.

SPEAKER 1: You know, kind of your hobby star. How did you get, you know, in, introduced to the hobby? And, and that good stuff.

SPEAKER 3: Yeah. So for me, the biggest thing was, my father, my father got me into the hobby at a young age.

SPEAKER 3: He showed me all about like collecting sports cards, things of that nature. But for me, seeing my father collect, they got me into collecting video games cause once again, I, I say this to the people. 97 was it 96? 97 Jordan is winning his sixth rank. I'm only six or seven years old at that time. So for me, I was into video games.

SPEAKER 3: I'm collecting, you know, stones. I'm, I'm, I'm collecting comic books. I'm collecting anything that a kid can kinda collect. Something big for me was coins as well growing up. My family was in the military. So I had family in the military, not my mother or father, but my grandfather traveled across the world will always bring back different type of currencies.

SPEAKER 3: So for me, I was always into collecting but when it came to sports cards, it was Kobe Bryant for me. I fell in love with the game, basketball, through him, watching him play. And then I started collecting Kobe Bryant cards.

SPEAKER 3: From the beginning that, that was like my first couple of sports cars where I would go on my dad collection peep on them, like, oh, that's Kobe Bryant. I'll be eating cereal.

SPEAKER 3: I'm not watching ESPN at this time, but I am looking at the back of these cars and like I catch Kobe play every now and then and it's like I read his stats. So that's how I was able to keep up with him through basketball cars, through sports cars, being able to keep up with his stats.

SPEAKER 3: Not only that learning how to come up with the ratios and the numbers and the statistics. So not only I was loving sports cars, but also it was educating me as a kid.

SPEAKER 3: I mean, statistics at a, at a young age like that when they show you that within high school. So for me that was like my first little like getting into just collectibles and as far as just into sports cars.

SPEAKER 1: Awesome. Awesome. Could, you couldn't have, you know, a great player to, to collect and, and follow rest in peace, obviously.

SPEAKER 1: You know, and you, you sound like you have a collector's gene between like coins and currencies or rocks, which is something I got into as well.

SPEAKER 1: And, and all the things that you mentioned like the, you have that collector's gene that some of us have comic books even you mentioned and that sort of thing. So, you know, you, you, you, you have that bug that itch that you, that you scratch, today, obviously when you're younger, when you get older, obviously you have a little more discretionary income has how you collect or what you collect changed as an adult.

SPEAKER 1: In comparatively speaking to, a younger Mr Garner.

SPEAKER 3: No, you're right. So my whole duality on collecting did change. I really started putting my own money up when I started understanding the hobby.

SPEAKER 3: The biggest thing for me is that I had a situation back then in my life that I went through and sports cars helped me get out of that. The same sports cars that I was collecting as a kid, got me out of that situation. When I saw them. So it is almost what I call this.

SPEAKER 3: You know, selling my childhood, it was rough, but at the same time I needed that and sports cars changed my life at that time to the point where I'm like, I wanna be fully invested and I wanna figure out how I want to be fully invested in this thing.

SPEAKER 3: So after I start looking at like how content things of that nature. And like I said, I really started trying to understand the market what to buy. I tried to get into flipping a little bit.

SPEAKER 3: But my biggest thing to me was just to collect. So my first car that I really bought out of my own money, I sold the Xbox 360.

SPEAKER 3: I bought one actually, no, Sirius X sorry Xbox series X for 500 for my birthday. Ended up selling it like six months later for like 1200 on ebay. And then I bought a Kobe Bryant F Floor Auto for like 800. It was a little bit over 800 on ebay Raw. Sent it to go to auctions. They got it graded, came back in 10 pop one. I never did get a chance to see that autograph car after being graded.

SPEAKER 3: But it sold for like close to over 3700 and that right there. I'm like, ok, now understanding this process grading and from that, it changed my whole duality of how I like collect now and how I put money into sports cars and my big thing. Now I'm not a flipper, anything of that, but I'm more of a collector. I like to collect. I'm like, you know, I wanna be like Ken Golden.

SPEAKER 3: He sells everyone's stuff on, on his platform but he's collecting everything. Why? Because he's making the money by selling everyone else, product cars, things of that nature memorabilia. That's where I wanna be. I wanna be a collector at the end of the day and that's where Doctor Collectible came from. So that's the mind frame that I'm in now compared to how it was years ago.

SPEAKER 1: Yeah. And then you, you know, you, you, you talk about the Kobe, the f, the Fair Floor Auto and then, you know, listen, we all want, like, we wanna make money with our card sometimes, right? Cause we can get more cards. That's the, you know, sometimes I feel like people feel bad, like saying, hey, I sold this for that when you really shouldn't.

SPEAKER 1: Right? The, the, th those transactions are what keeps the hobby going and, and flowing and, without no one was transacting, right. This hobby wouldn't be, what, what it is and you kinda, you, you got a little bit of that bug and, you know, it's nice when we can sell something.

SPEAKER 1: Maybe we're not as attached to, to buy something that we don't plan on, on selling. You know, like I'm, I'm a growing up in Brooklyn, Jackie Robinson was my guy for a long time. I didn't have the leaf rookie, had opportunities to buy it.

SPEAKER 1: Kind of, just say I'll get it another time and, and then I finally said, you know, if you don't get it now, it was starting to go up, obviously, you're not gonna get this car, John. It's, it's behind me over, over this shoulder here and, you know, never to be sold. Like, you know, when I'm not here, my son's gonna get it.

SPEAKER 1: I would, I'm hoping he keeps it and he passes that tradition and to, to his future kids and that sort of thing. But, you know, those sales, right, allow us to acquire stuff that we don't have an intention, to sell stuff that's in our, our PC.

SPEAKER 1: And, you know, I, I, you know, sometimes people feel funny, like doing that or talking about it, I don't know why cause it's just part of, of the hobby, you know, you're kind of your take on that.

SPEAKER 3: Yeah, man.

SPEAKER 3: As far as like, just like, and when you say it's like my overall take on, on the hobby in general, just like the overall, landscape.

SPEAKER 3: Right now it's, it's, to me it's everywhere. It's a good thing though. It's new people coming in, old people come out more, back and forth, back and forth where you in, into this hobby. I'm hoping that, you in it for the joy of it, the ride, the, the chase, you know, going to find that car that you want. I'm not telling you to go out there and spend your money.

SPEAKER 3: For me, I, my biggest thing for me is to let people know I'm not here to influence, I'm not here to influence anyone to tell you to go buy this, go through this. No, I'm here to expose the hobby to the masses.

SPEAKER 3: So they can take their perspective on it through great content, through that positivity. Once again, you get a lot of this bad content that's always being pushed out things of that nature.

SPEAKER 3: Once again, that draws a narrative to people that don't know about the hobby, which they may steer from in the future.

SPEAKER 3: Or you may, you know, that kid that you see at the car shop or that car show, you don't know if that kid is gonna be the next car show owner or next car shop owner that's going to help bring opportunities in the future for for, for many individuals. So for me, the landscape of the hobby I think is going the right direction.

SPEAKER 3: We need more great individuals to help stir that, that, that forefront with great car shows. Great car shops giving a great experience is, is it just doesn't take one business that's going to do this, it's going to take the community together in order to do this.

SPEAKER 3: And like I said, Jay Leno, he has what, what they say a $3 billion car collection. I mean, hey, if he can enjoy collecting cars, then you know why everyone in this hobby can enjoy something by collecting it. So that's kind of like my pinpoint on where I think this hobby is going.

SPEAKER 3: And in the long haul, I'm hoping people, people can find what they want in this space. Just like I should be able to connect with someone that collects sports cars the same way someone collects crystals the same way someone collects coins and currency. We should be able to connect as a community.

SPEAKER 1: Yeah. Well, said, well, put and, and whatever you collect, like you said, Jay Leno with, with his card collection, you know, we're doing, sports cars, no sports cars, whatever it might be. Crystals, geology, rocks, coins. Right. It's, it's really, it's, it's, it's a fraternity of collecting, as you know. So, yeah. So, it's, it's important. Yeah. And, and you do such a great job with, with positivity.

SPEAKER 4: Someone's at my door. I've got to get that be right back.

SPEAKER 5: Hobby News Daily is your home page of the hobby providing original writing, exclusive gem, rate data. A daily morning minute podcast and some of the best content creators in the hobby. Remember hobby news, daily.com and at Hobby News Daily on social happy Collecting.

SPEAKER 1: We, batch talk about becoming Doctor Collectible. How, how did you, how did this all begin that, that transformation if you will, kind of speak to that process? And then we go and then we'll talk some more about current stuff. But how did, how did that, come to be?

SPEAKER 3: Yes. So, it all came from intuition. Like after the situation I went through and then, one thing about me was like, I wanna create an identity for myself. I, before I was doing doctor Collect while I was dancing and acting.

SPEAKER 3: So I had been in a few movies, TV, shows and been on tour for dancing. So I always kinda like, had an identity for myself. And I'm like, ok, this is something completely different. How can I be different for this hobby? Be something good to be different.

SPEAKER 3: My biggest thing for me was, like, all right, I'm to create identity because all I seen online was people, posting sports cards. Right. But then when I go to a show, I don't even know who is who? Because all I see is their hands is sports cards. You don't never see really? You wasn't seeing people faces out there besides people that was actually creating content.

SPEAKER 3: So that was my first thing when it was when it came to creating my identity. Second thing was I started looking at content creators and seeing how can I be different. The biggest thing for me was when I decided to create a business, which was Doctor Collectible as well. I turned into a business and a brand.

SPEAKER 3: I wanted to say, how can I make revenue in a hobby without having to sell a car? Because once again, that goes back to me being a collector. So then I'm like, ok, let me figure out what can I do off the trajectory of like the whole hobby? What can I do to bring something different? So I started looking back into my roots of acting and dance. I'm like, OK, I'm gonna get into content creating.

SPEAKER 3: And I said, you know what, I don't wanna be just a content creator. I want to be treated as a business. So that started turning into partnering with the car shows, partnering with the car shops, asking for equity in certain businesses. And a hobby that I feel like I believe in, I'm a, you know, it's the first time I'm saying this out loud.

SPEAKER 3: And on your platform, I'm a 5% holder of car boss. So that, that was like my vision of what I wanted to do. I wanted not only people to accept me as a content creator or just as an influencer, but respect me as a business individual because that's how I want to come into this. I wanna I wanna collect, but also I wanna be treated as a as a businessman.

SPEAKER 3: It's h and that's where the mindset just all kind of steered from. Literally. I was living in my car for two weeks after my situation and be honest with you, house fire situation that I had, I was in my car for two weeks and being in my car for two weeks really made me just really dive into who I was at that time.

SPEAKER 3: I and chose to be in that situation as well because I never been in that before. So I, yeah, I could have been in a hotel, things of that nature. But my mindset at that point was to create a business. I was willing to put the, 100 and $25 into my business and sit in my car and I have gas in my tank. Sounds crazy. But that's how much I believed in my dream, you know.

SPEAKER 3: So that's where all that ST from at the beginning and how Doctor Collectible became, a dream into a reality. Had to put the dream in place first had to have an imagination as an adult. That's what we don't want to lose is imagination. Kids got it.

SPEAKER 3: That's why they can think so far and, and move so far and think light years ahead. But then when you come in as an adult, you start looking at things realistically and start looking at things for what they are and not realizing like, hey, excuse my language when I say it, but you can turn shit into sugar.

SPEAKER 3: Like seriously if you, if you really put your mindset to it. So that's why all the doctor collectibles started off from with me and that passion and just being like, hey, this is what I wanna do. I wanna be a business individual and I, I just took that approach.

SPEAKER 1: Yeah, like you said, you had a vision, you had a a and you just had to do put the things in, in order to get the priorities right and, and here you are, I'm a venture and you don't live in your car, anymore thankfully. But, you know, keep things in perspective, right? That, no matter what you, you know, II, I like the message there. Darryl is like, no matter what, you know what your state of life is in the moment.

SPEAKER 1: Right? That doesn't have to be the end all, or be all of it. You can, you can get out of that. You can, you can move higher. You just, like you said, you gotta have a plan, you gotta have a vision, you gotta have even a little imagination, right? Sometimes we, sometimes our dreams might even sound too big for us, but that doesn't mean we can't go for it. And I, I think that's, an important message, there, a as well.

SPEAKER 1: Thank you, travel and, and, and your travel schedule, like you're at most of the big shows, other shows they don't, they don't, they're not always the big ones either. You, you do a lot of traveling, talk about the grind of that. Is it, is it tough? I mean, people, you know, people do listen, car shows are fun. I, I, I'm not arguing that fact. I love them myself but to do it as much as you do, right?

SPEAKER 1: It's, it's, you know, so while it's fun, there's also a lot of work and, and, and, and blood sweat and tears that goes into that kind of schedule, kind of talk to the grind of that, you know, of, of, of those appearances and, and traveling and making, you know, almost every weekend. It seems like where I see you're in a different local but, you know, who better to, to talk of about it than the person doing it. So, go ahead.

SPEAKER 3: Yeah.

SPEAKER 3: It is a grind. I'm gonna be honest with you. It is, it, yes, it all, it's all fun and games. I love what I do, being able to travel, see the world.

SPEAKER 3: But before actually getting into that lane, I was working three jobs.

SPEAKER 3: I was working at Cracker Barrel as retail.

SPEAKER 3: I was working overnight on movie sets doing wardrobe and I was also what else I was doing? I was a DJ for weddings for like five years.

SPEAKER 3: Kind of before that time. So that's that mindset that I have that mamba mentality like every day I should be able to wake up and want to live breath in what I'm doing at all times and that's the approach that I always try to take.

SPEAKER 3: I mean, it, it, it got, it got to the point where a lot of people ask me like why we're glad sometimes that shows, but like sometimes I do look tired. I am exhausted.

SPEAKER 3: I'm gonna be honest with you sometimes and sometimes I wanna hide that while I'm on camera in HD and guys are looking at me on the camera and I'm putting out content like, yo, why you look so tired? Yes, because I'm exhausted from traveling different time zones. I really found that out in the past like 2, 2.5 years. How rough that can be on the body.

SPEAKER 3: And how my time frame is just off sometimes. But as a businessman, you wanna grind, you wanna get at it. And I don't, I take everything as a blessing as well because I'm able to see this world for what it is with my own lens. And that's why I've learned a lot from traveling and that's the blessing that comes with it.

SPEAKER 3: I personally had got, I worked on a partnership and I was so exhausted at one time, I reached out to G fuel, which I have a partnership with. They are energy drink and, you know, doing work with them with like sports. Shout out to Mark Zabo.

SPEAKER 3: He put me in a great situation with them and I was doing content, they wanted me to go out and do content for this football event, that had quarterbacks in it, high school quarterbacks and it was for G fuel. After that, I tried it. It's an all natural drink and from there I started feeling better at these shows, you know, switching it up from that also wearing comfortable shoes.

SPEAKER 3: That's something I do as well. I'm not wearing my best shoes that shows, yes, I like to get fresh, things of that nature, but I'm dressing very comfortable as something else that I have to learn in the process. So just some little things once again, picking out an energy drink to try to partner with and bring them into the hobby.

SPEAKER 3: But at the same time utilizing it seriously, like, I'm not just saying I got a partnership with this company, but I'm also utilizing it on a daily basis. So for me that grind, that grit was already like built in me.

SPEAKER 3: And I knew when the time happened for me to be able to go out and do them things and travel, I was gonna be ready, but I didn't expect it to be overwhelming as it is sometimes because I can find myself in Florida and Miami and literally, I'm flying across the country to L A which is crazy. Shout out to Rizzo sports doing work with them out there. So traveling is a blessing. But yeah, it can get hectic at times.

SPEAKER 1: Well, I, you know, I appreciate you being honest, right? A lot of times, you know, if people in the industry or the hobby, you know, they want to talk about all the, the, the WS and, and you know what you do, it is tiring, man. I like, I, I listen, I gotta get back from the national here at the end of this coming week and I gotta go back to work. Right.

SPEAKER 1: I'm on that first day by the first couple, the heck with the first day, the first couple of days I'm gonna be dragging like you did. That's, and, and you know, I'm older than you. But, you're also, like you said, you're a natural, you're a natural grind, like you said, holding, holding down three jobs at different times of day like, I don't know when you slept, man, but God bless you.

SPEAKER 1: But so you, you have that instilled in you like that, that, that grind mentality. I mean, where did it come from? Was it, was it parents? Was it a combination of thing? Where did that, that, hey, I'm gonna be, I'm, I'm working as much today as I can get away with and, and still function. Where did that get instilled in you?

SPEAKER 3: Yeah. So it's two parts to that. Yes. My mother and father shout out to my mother Terry Greenwood strong individual. I mean her name is on the back of my car as well as my father.

SPEAKER 3: Them to have instilled everything in me from putting me into private school to, you know, public school, been through everything from playing sports.

SPEAKER 3: They made sure I was active, they did everything they could. My mom was working like two jobs. My dad worked one job but yo he taking me to school, taking me to practice.

SPEAKER 3: Sometimes I only see my mom at night when she comes home from working two jobs, like, but they did everything they could to, make sure that I had a great life and also the community of my family was a big part of that as well. The other thing was, me moving from Illinois to Georgia. I moved from East Saint Louis to Atlanta.

SPEAKER 3: I've been here for about 15 years now and I have nobody here besides my sister and a few of my friends that I grew up with and some very close individuals that I call friends as well. That I found out here. So I had no choice when I moved out of my mind crib, I knew it was like around 23. My mom said, hey, you can move out when you're ready and I made sure that I didn't want to come back knocking on my mom's door.

SPEAKER 3: And she's gonna look at me like, hey, was you ready? You know that that's the last thing that I wanna do. So that's where that grind comes from. You know, being able to show my mom and father like, yo, what y'all did all your life to get me right as an individual, as an adult.

SPEAKER 3: Yes, I'm going to show y'all that. Yes, I'm going to put that out to the world. Whether, if it's working, whether if it's traveling, what if it's whatever? But that's where that grind comes from. 22 of my parents and like I say, coming from East Saint Louis, Illinois. Not one of the best places to grow up. I love that city. I love it. Great food, great people, but at the same time it's, it's a big struggle.

SPEAKER 3: One of the, one of the most spirit cities in the country. Not only that, so being able to grow up there was rough and not knowing that if I'm gonna pass 21 I had friends down in high school while I was in college, like even when I went off to traveling, you know, I come back in town and there's something going on, something happening to a person I grew up with.

SPEAKER 3: So once again that also that grind makes me not wanna go back to that.

SPEAKER 3: That was my big reason of moving as well. So that's where that comes from.

SPEAKER 3: My parents where I'm where I grew up from and me ma making that transition of becoming a man when I decided to move to Atlanta, I.

SPEAKER 1: Appreciate you man, you know, giving respect and shine to your parents. You know, for, for getting you prepared right to, to be your own man and, and you wanna honor them by being the best man you can be, right?

SPEAKER 1: Not that like if something didn't work out you had to come back home. It don't mean anyone failed. It's just a moment in time. But you, you still, like you said, your mom said, hey, when you're ready you'll know it or, or, you know, take that, that leap.

SPEAKER 1: And you, you want to honor their, you know, how they raised you by being successful, which, you are. And that, that's, that, that's a testament to your, your work ethic, your mindset. And I'm sure obviously, they're proud of you. You, I, I appreciate you hearing you, you know, paying your respects back to them with, with, with mentioning them on the back of, of, of your tops card.

SPEAKER 1: You know, you didn't have to necessarily do that but you, you felt in your heart it was, it, it was the right and, and thing to do and I'm sure I'm sure it got them well, you know, emotional and, and, and, and even more proud. But, i it's, it's nice hearing those stories, right? Sometimes we neglect to, to, you know, honor those who, who made it possible for us to, the things we do. But, that you don't fall into that category.

SPEAKER 1: You, you do mean, you know, you do care, it's important to you and, you know, without them, right? We wouldn't, you know, you wouldn't be, where you are. I gotta ask you, you know, we talked about the, I also appreciate you say, hey, I'm tired. Listen, crab it. I'm going from one coast to the next coast. Like I don't care how old you are. 25 55 35 45. That's tiring for anyone.

SPEAKER 1: It's, it's refreshing to hear you say, listen, I'm, I'm a grinder but I get tired too. I'm human. I'm not, you know, I'm, I'm mortal and, and to admit that right, like, you know, got me a little slack here. I'm, I'm working this hard. I'm gonna be tired. Nothing wrong with nothing wrong with that. All right. That was fun. Catching up with Darryl Garner A K, a Doctor Collectible. Again. We recorded that before the national.

SPEAKER 1: I wound up meeting him and, and talking with him at the national really great guy doing great things. And, if you like that conversation, I got good news cause that was only part one. We'll be back with part two next week. But for now let's get, our hobby is the people announcer and some closing thoughts and we'll wrap up the episode time for our hobby is the people announcer of the week.
