Hobby Quick Hits

In 1992 Myself & a partner opened a brick & mortar store, I spent 25k more than I made the first year, there almost wasn't a year two. I cover the trials & tribulations of that first year, & how the store survived.

Football always was the step-child of Baseball & Basketball cards but those days are changing, I share some of my experience in football cards even before it was "cool", What positions to buy, what to avoid, when to buy, strategies to employ. Remember football cards carry the most inherent risk, I'm here to help!! Follow us on:

I like the "High End" of the hobby, some don't, This Episode will explore what exactly is "high end", how has it changed over the history of the hobby, why do I believe it to be good for the hobby when others don't, how has graded changed the game.

I let the curtain down a little bit on this show & our big show "Sports Card Nation", Nothing is really off-limits as we discuss downloads, guests, income, tips, tricks, sponsorships & encourage you to do it..if you want to.

I had a brick & mortar from 1992-1996, while it was successful then , that model would fail in today's day & age, I talk about those experiences, the only scenario I'd return to it & the current landscape.

Retail shelves are empty, Wax is selling easily for 400% markup, Hobbyists can't buy enough, Card Companies can't produce enough, Where is the direction going? The Card companies are taking this all in & you may be surprised at what they will do next......

There's no wrong way to organize your sports card inventory but today I share a few tips,ideas & techniques I've utilized over the years, Why did I switch from top-loaders to semi-rigids, How I organize cards going to different selling platforms & to the grading process. https://sportscardnation.net/hobby-quick-hits-podcast/

While many businesses have been shut down, people home either unemployed or working from home, the hobby is booming & some might say at an all-time level even. We explore why this may be the case, how long can it last & if it changes...it what capacity.

Buying & Selling in the hobby has been going on forever, lately seems like sellers are getting shade at them & being made to feel guilty they are turning a profit & making money, is it jealousy..envy, where is it coming from & why. The Hobby has become "segmented" & I don't like it!!
