There’s a new entry to the red-hot collectibles market.
Brent Montgomery is teaming with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian to launch Mantel, a content platform created specifically for collectors of sports cards and memorabilia, comics, cars, watches and more.
Wheelhouse, the media and marketing company founded by Montgomery (Pawn Stars, King of Collectibles), and Ohanian’s Seven Seven Six tech and venture capital firm, launched the platform Tuesday in beta. The site will serve as a social media platform that will focus first on sports cards and memorabilia as well as trading card games (like Pokemon and Magic the Gathering, for example) before expanding to other facets of the collectibles industry. The site will also feature real-time discussion and connectivity with experts in the collecting space as well as original content, creating a one-stop shop for collectors, investors and more.
Evan Parker, the former Gm at The Athletic, serves as CEO of Mantel.

Steve Dalachinsky Can you explain a bit about your process and becoming an artist?
Jorgo Schaefer: My career as a professional artist started in 1970 at the Werkkunstschule (Wks, School of Applied Arts) in Wuppertal. At this time, the Wks was a highly regarded institution with a long tradition. It was not an art academy but arts were a key element. Artistic skills were taught as well as philosophy. Our freshman class consisted of 15 students and we were hanging out together day and night, influenced and inspired by the political and artistic movements of about 4 good years. Plus: Amsterdam was just around the corner...
Sd: When did you get interested in jazz and improvisation?...
