Dave Thimesch wanted a 1987 Topps Mark McGwire card. That card started an obsession.
At 13, Dave opened a card shop. He returned to the hobby during the Stephen Strasburg rise in 2009, moved from opening products to running group breaks, and built DT Sportscards into a PSA submission business handling thousands of cards.
Dave joins Brett to discuss why ripping products created debt, how rising product costs forced him to change his business, and why transparency matters when collectors trust you with their cards.
They also talk about the systems required to submit 1,200 cards per week, the challenge of giving up control, and the line between working in the hobby and collecting for yourself.

Most people do not have an idea problem. They have a permission problem.
In this episode of Hobby Jobs, Brett explains why operators need to build before the market gives them certainty. He shares a 30-day conviction sprint for testing an unresolved problem, examines how Gabe built his college football card expertise into a career with CardCollector2, and spotlights the content creator role at Layton Sports Cards.
Then Brett sits down with Collect Talent co-founder Danny Mosse at The National.
After 15 years across Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Goldin, and eBay, Danny is building a job and networking hub for the collecting industry. They discuss trust across collecting categories, the path from passion to profession, and why the gap between companies and talent is an infrastructure problem.

Wrestling Card Takeover filled a room with nearly 400 collectors at The National.
The shirts disappeared. The room hit capacity. Deals took shape. One-of-ones surfaced. Collectors traveled from across the country and as far as Germany to take part.
Adam, Ryan, and Brett look back on the week that showed how much the wrestling card community has grown.
They discuss:
 The demand for Oba Femi cards 
 The John Cena and Rhea Ripley WrestleMania patch autographs 
 The cards pulled and purchased during Wrestling Card Takeover 
 The stories behind the deals 
 The market response to SummerSlam 
 Why attending The National is about more than buying cards 
The cards brought everyone into the room.
The people made it a night worth remembering.

Pack and Brett return from The National to process what they saw across the show floor.
Cards priced between $100 and $500 moved at a fast rate. Dealers struggled to keep cases stocked. Seeing cards such as the 2017 Patrick Mahomes Prizm Black Finite and Peyton Manning Gem Masters in person changed how they viewed them.
They also close out Linebacker Summer with Luke Kuechly, one of the best defensive players of his era. His career is set, but his card market tells a different story.
The conversation covers cards that have moved beyond reach, displaying a collection, selling through auction instead of private deals, eBay authentication, and the football card sales that moved during National week.
