On the program we visit with Stephen (Steve) Brownlie from Glasgow, Scotland. A big Star Wars and movie fan, he began making his own custom trading cards as a cheaper way to seek out autographs by mail, since the shipping and customs fees often dwarfed the cost of the autograph itself. Little by little he began creating more cards of actors who were on the convention circuit and for movies that didn’t have cards of their own. Due to the demand of other folks who liked his creations, he opened up a storefront so people could order more easily. We talk growing up with Star Wars, trading cards and the process of making his own entry into the card universe. You can find Steve on his on Instagram page: @rayguncards www.rayguncards.storenvy.com
