In this episode, I break down one of my more successful card flips — how I bought a card for $665, sold it for $1,099, and ended up outperforming the S&P 500 over the same period. But while the profit was great, I use it as a reality check: even when things go well, sports cards aren’t a guaranteed way to beat the market. I talk through the math, the timeline, and what this example can teach us about balancing passion, risk, and realistic expectations in the hobby.
