Video Gallery
From the Archives of Tyler Beard
Tyler left dozens of unedited home videotapes (as well as a few television interviews), spanning from approximately 1982 to 2004. This gallery will showcase selected clips from those videos, some edited and some left in their raw state. Check back periodically for new additions.
All video clips require a high-speed internet connection for proper streaming, but if you have a dial-up connection you may download clips for play locally on your computer's hard drive.
excerpt from
A Conversation with Tyler Beard & Evan Voyles
Tyler tells "The Tonsil Story", recalling his first entrepreneurial venture while in elementary school. Fellow boot expert and collector Evan Voyles uses that story as a springboard from which to analyze and outline the secrets of Tyler's phenomenal success in selling almost anything he set his mind to. The conversation then turns to the subject of rare, vintage cowboy boots and the premium prices for which some avid collectors have paid.
