This week on Coasthawk Talk our host Nick Swinmurn is joined by Michael Gallucci, the Co-Founder & Ex-COO of SportsMemorabilia.com. Nick dives into all things memorabilia in this episode with Michael, and the two discuss what led to the acquisition of the website by Fanatics.com in 2013. Nick asks why they focused on sports memorabilia instead of Hollywood memorabilia, especially since Michael had a website for that as well, and they also talk about what fraud issues plague the industry today. When talking about what Michael is currently doing today they go onto his consulting work with brands and startups and how he specializes in getting a product-market fit. Nick asks about the lessons Michael sees young entrepreneurs having issues learning today, and what the hidden gems of future opportunities in memorabilia might currently be.
