Josh Pankow – Movies and the Masses

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 10:30 am

This week’s guest on Movies and the Masses is Josh Pankow, the owner and operator of Atlanta Sports Cards. As you might’ve guessed, they’re based in the Atlanta area and specialize in selling sports trading cards. You can visit their store in Hotlanta, or you can choose to jump online and either purchase something from their website or check out their eBay account. Josh has been in the sports card business for 15 years, so rest assured that he knows what he’s talking about.

On a personal note, Josh shared with us that he’s a graduate of the University of Georgia, and his favorite color is green. If you’d like to contact Josh and find out why he didn’t go with red or yellow, you can visit the Atlanta Sports Cards website, their Twitter page, or his Facebook page under (appropriately enough) Josh Pankow.

Now let’s get on to some questions about motion pictures. But before we do, here’s a picture of Atlanta Sports Cards for you to admire.
