Passion to Profession: Optimizing Joy for Collectors with Tim Getsch, Founder and Chief Product Officer at COMC


Listen Later

In this episode of Passion to Profession presented by eBay, Brett sits down with Tim Getsch Founder and Chief Product Officer at COMC, to explore how the platform became the home for the $5 card market and what that means for collectors today.

Tim shares why COMC’s mission has always been about optimizing joy for collectors, not chasing speculators. He breaks down what’s really happening in the $5 card economy, how COMC is evolving to handle growing demand, and why he believes the future of the hobby depends on collectors—not investors—taking cards off the market.

This conversation covers the psychology of collecting, the growth of graded and TCG cards, and how COMC is adapting its infrastructure to serve the next wave of hobby participation.


It’s a grounded and insightful look at building in the hobby for the long haul from one of the most consistent operators in the space.


A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Passion to Profession. The biggest and best marketplace to buy your next favorite trading card.
