The Staging Area: Inside the Engine Room of 60,000 Weekly eBay Auctions

Welcome to the debut episode of The Staging Area, presented by dcsports87 and hosted on the Stacking Slabs feed.

In this first conversation, Brett is joined by Tory from dcsports87 to talk about what really happens behind the scenes of one of the largest sports card consignment operations in the hobby. They dig into the numbers—over $7 million in monthly sales, 60,000 auctions per week—and explore what it takes to stay ahead during big moments like The National or the NBA Finals.

Topics include:

How dcsports87 preps for The National
The impact of player performance spikes on card submissions and service levels
The Trout vs. Ohtani effect in the current hobby
A closer look at real-time card trends with the “Most Watched” segment
Why knowing when to sell is just as important as what you sell

This show is for the collector who cares about more than price tags. It's for anyone who wants to understand the full life cycle of a card—from mailbox to marketplace.
