Stacking Slabs

Why does this card belong in your collection?
A buying thesis gives you an answer before emotion, scarcity, and outside opinions take control.
Brett explains the six parts of his process: the personal case, card case, market case, price case, ownership case, and risk case. He applies the process to his purchases of the Roman Reigns Immaculate 1/1, John Cena Superfractor 1/1, and Tyrese Haliburton Crown Royale 1/1.
A thesis cannot predict the future. It helps you understand the decision, accept the tradeoffs, and live with the outcome after the excitement wears off.

I spent $30,000 on the 2022 Immaculate Roman Reigns Premium Memorabilia Autograph Platinum 1/1.
The price will get attention. The decisions behind it are the story.
I break down the relationship that made the deal possible, how I funded the purchase, and why I sold around 60 cards to bring one card into my collection.
This episode is about sacrifice, collection projects that have run their course, and the difference between chasing scarcity and buying a card that belongs in your collection.

Jarrod, better known as @wnbacardcollector, joins Katelyn to share how a Sue Bird rookie led him from vintage baseball into WNBA cards.
He explains why Rittenhouse cards hold his attention, how attending an Atlanta Dream game changed his fandom, and why Rhyne Howard became the center of his collection.
The conversation covers his Rhyne Howard Gold Vinyl rookie auto 1/1, the signed debut ticket he considers his personal grail, and the five rookie cards he would use to start an Atlanta Dream collection.

Jamison Long left a career in corporate sales to build Port City Sports Collectibles.
The goal was never to open a store built around transactions. He wanted to create a place where collectors felt known.
That decision is driving the growth of the business.
After starting in a 1,500-square-foot shop, Port City moved into a space of nearly 6,000 square feet. The store now has days that match what it once sold in a week.
Jamison joins Brett to discuss:
 Why he left corporate America 
 The cards he sold to fund his next chapter 
 Why access to capital matters when buying collections 
 How Port City turns customers into returning customers 
 The systems behind its inventory strategy 
 How Jamison protects the culture of his team 
 His Fanatics Fest deal with Kevin O’Leary and Shyne 
 Why each business decision needs a thesis 
Jamison also explains why some of the decisions that created the most doubt produced the most growth.

GameStop sold $356.3 million in collectibles during its latest quarter. The category now accounts for 45 percent of company sales.
The demand is there.
Collector trust still has to be earned.
In this episode of Hobby Jobs, I examine what GameStop needs to become a collectibles business, why inventory alone will not create community, and where new jobs can emerge across the sports card industry.
I also connect these lessons to Sam Gordon’s career at Overtime and introduce a five-part system for creating career leverage:
Observe. Translate. Shrink. Measure. Transfer.
The role follows the problem.
The title follows the proof.
