If you don’t know Brian Flam odds are good you’ve seen his invention, The Autograph Card (I carry one wherever I go). In today’s episode we go behind the scenes at his operation and learn how this grapher turned a product of his passion into a full-time business.
I’d love to hear what you think of the episode in the comments section below.

Another great episode Matt. You missed one good hidden feature of their website though… they sell 4 packs of blue Staedtler markers! In the past I’ve always had to buy the 8 color packs with only one blue one and could never find just a straight blue pack. Just put an order in for a 4 pack!
Great point Randy – definitely worth picking up a pack. Thanks!
Are the Blue Staedtler markers good on cards or baseballs
I’d recommend them in cards. Stick with a blue ballpoint on balls.
Staedtlers are better for baseball cards because with them you don’t have to do a baby powder rubdown on every single one of your cards
got Mike Dunn, Tom Koehler and Steve Cishik on the autograph card at the marlins mets game today. Got multiple comments on how cool the autograph card is and that they will definitely buy it. I also brought the sweet spot jacket and got the same response and many people said they will buy it
Awesome!
SweetSpot jacket is fantastic but try to keep quiet about that and while I like to share tricks of the trade with lots of graphers, the SweetSpot holder is one very seldom used item. And I and many other graphers would like to keep it that way
WOW jhst what I was looking for. Came hdre by searching for laptyop case
