Ben (@nonsensenamecards) collects stories. And those stories happen to be printed on cardboard.

In this collector conversation, we talk about why Ben focuses on historical figures like Geronimo, Einstein, and Amelia Earhart—and what it means to build a collection based on personal curiosity rather than hype.

This episode is about connection. It's about how one collector follows his interests, turns research into passion, and treats cards as artifacts that tell us something real about the past—and about ourselves.

We talk:

Allen & Ginter, Felix Potin, and the chase for context
Why it's OK to collect across sports, eras, and categories
How collecting can help you slow down and learn

Ben reminds us that there’s no right way to collect—only your way.
