Steve Geppi talks with BRB for "Fantastic Forum"

He's a very accomplished businessman, born and raised and still based in Baltimore, and he's a titan in the world of comic books. He's Steve Geppi, one of the owners of the Baltimore Orioles and owner of Diamond Distributors, Gemstone Publishing and the Geppi's Entertainment Museum, most notably. He's a true rags-to-riches success story, and in a new interview with BRBTV's Billie Rae Bates as part of her continuing work for the "Fantastic Forum" TV show, you'll learn more about that.

BRB talked at length with Geppi about his approach to business, what he values most, what comics he loved as a kid, and even just how he went about acquiring the amazing collection of pop-cultural entertainment memorabilia on display at the museum, where the interview was conducted, along with "Fantastic Forum" producer Ulysses Campbell.
