Join Joe Parisi for a deep dive on this historic incident that changed the trading card industry forever.  We're also visited by Jon Pederson who runs the website dedicated to this card, www.billripken.com  ","author_name":"The Odd Podcast with Joe Parisi","author_url":"http:\/\/oddpodcast.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"
