May 18 | UTAH CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN | 9 < Publisher’s Message Collector Connection During my research of Utah business magnate and RSL UC&D owner Dell Loy Hansen in advance of writing an article on his revolutionary new $75 million Real Academy project in Herriman (Zions Bank Real Academy, page 36), I found a piece on Salt Lake- Utah Construction & Design Magazine based KUTV’s website from a couple years ago that said coin 3047 W Parkway Blvd. STE A, collecting was among Hansen’s many passions, something he Salt Lake City UT 84119 claims to work on “from ten at night until one in the morning”. O: (801) 747-9202 I found that interesting because six months ago I started M: (801) 433-7541 back into the hobby of sports card collecting, partly in an effort www.utahcdmag.com to spark more of an interest in sports in my 11-year-old daughter, Ava. Initially, we started our collection buying random packs and a couple of boxes of NBA basketball cards at Overtime Bradley H. Fullmer Cards, a quaint, old-school shop on Main Street in historic Midvale and one of only three brick-and-mortar sports card shops along the Wasatch Front. Publisher/Managing Editor We quickly zeroed our interests on the bumper crop of high-ceiling [email protected] rookies (FYI, it’s ALL about rookie cards) led by superstar-in-the-making and anointed Jazz franchise savior Donovan Mitchell, 20-year-old Ladd J. Marshall Celtics stud Jayson Tatum and former Ute standout and rising Laker Advertising Sales Director star Kyle Kuzma (Lonzo who? J/K, I think Ball’s a gamer, too). [email protected] Ava actually enjoys the hobby – Mitchell is by far her favorite player (how can he not be, right?) – and she pretty much knows every Jay Hartwell starter and rookie on every team. I’d stack her knowledge of players Art Director right up there with most people I know, including friends who claim to [email protected] follow sports on a consistent basis. How many people, after all, know My ‘Precious’… which team Serbian-native Nemanja Bjelica plays for AND can correctly pronounce his name? (First person to call me up with that information, lunch on me!) It’s a hobby that can get expensive in a hurry. Low-end cards retail for $75-$175 per box; high-end products – like National Treasures – retail for $1,000+ per box – with a ‘box’ consisting of a single 10-card pack. There is an emphasis on landing ‘hits’ – hologram prism cards, autographed cards, serial-numbered cards, etc. The ‘game-changer’ for the hobby, though, is unquestionably eBay – it’s lipped a casual, childhood hobby into a full-blown, Wall Street-like business venture with collectors bidding literally thousands of dollars for a single card. I can imagine that coin collecting is much of the same. At any rate, it’s cool to share at least one semi-common interest with someone as successful and community-driven as Hansen. I found him to be friendly and personable, keenly interested in the people around him, and his passion for soccer is unparalleled. This issue of UC&D also looks at the State of Utah’s DFCM (page 32), as well an article on the U.S. Green Building Council’s 25th Anniversary, where several prominent local architects weighed on USGBC’s role in the green building/sustainable movement. We also recognize the Utah chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors (page 62) as it celebrates its 40th Anniversary this year. ABC was founded by a small group of local contractors, among them John Cameron, founder and CEO of Salt Lake-based Cameron Construction (the only irm still an ABC member from that original group), who believed strongly in ABC’s ‘Merit Shop’ philosophy.
