In this episode of Passion to Profession, presented by eBay, Brett reconnects with Dave, owner of Sport Card Auctions, who turned his side hustle into a thriving full-time business.

Dave shares what it’s like to go all in on the hobby after selling his pizza shop, how he’s navigating a booming 2025 market, and why staying small and remote has helped him grow fast without losing control.

They cover everything from eBay’s impact on consignment to why collectors are flocking to Jordan rookies, how AI tools like ChatGPT are helping streamline the work, and why doing the right thing is still the best business strategy in the hobby.

If you’ve ever thought about turning your passion into your profession, this one’s for you.

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