Very cool, looking forward to this.

Can’t wait to hear some of the behind the scenes around building and designing sets.

Gonna be gooooood.

 

[Theideafactory]

Great show, Jeremy and Billy.

Makes you feel like we are just one big family of collectors.

 

[SNobles]

Very cool show. Really enjoyed.

 

[TheGriceBoys]

Outstanding content. People like Billy make me cheer for UD, he’s a good dude and wears his heart on his sleeve. Hopefully he can be part of a positive formula at UD that keeps the company progressing to bigger and better things. Great show as always J, thank Billy again or maybe he can reply here and not lurk? Haha

That is exactly what I am trying to achieve, even if I didn't realize until you just said it. :beer:

Very cool show. Really enjoyed.

Thanks for you great questions Scott!

It's like I said in the teasers, he's one of the most likable guys working in the hobby. Thanks for all the great questions tonight B!

Always a blast pal.

I wanted to ask some semi-tough questions, and I am glad Billy took them like a champ and answered the best he could, even if it was non-committal and kind of broad and general. I get it though, I do, and I was able to read between the lines on some, and others I kind of knew, but wanted confirmation, like the Orr.

The Orr Jersey was a big question for me because Billy's answer has BEEN the company line for years, I just wanted to see if it still was the same. Like you said, some things he wasn't a part of from years ago, and some stuff he is changing for the better now, so I wanted to see. I've heard similar things from the Orr camp, and while it's a bummer, especially with the material UD has, you HAVE to respect Robert Gordon!

Look forward to the next show!

Hey guys, it's Billy here. Jeremy thanks again for having me as a guest yesterday. I had a blast listening to all your passionate card collectors. Hope I was able to give people some insight on how things are done and why they're done without rambling on too much. As a company we aren't the most vocal people on the boards, but we definitely see everything and do our best to listen. I hope as time progresses and this show gets bigger, you'll get a chance to talk to more insightful people I get to work with each day. I appreciate all the people I've met through this hobby and on your site. I mean, the mayor of Canada even asked me questions ��. Keep up the great work Jeremy, and can't wait to see the next show.

I didn't watch the whole thing, what did he say about Orr jersey?

Go to the 1 hour and 41 minute or so mark and you'll see Billy empathically shaking his head "no". That's a good clue! Haha

I wasn't able to watch it live but watched it soon after it was put up on Youtube. Another great show Jeremy and thanks for the amazing info Billy!
