Have you ever wanted to start a sports card business, quit your 9-to-5, and start your own awesome company? That’s what Don did when he started DJs Sportscards.

Don’s store sits in his childhood stomping ground. He also grew up around baseball cards, football cards, and comic books. So he always had a foot inside of the trading cards world. He got his first chance to get into baseball card flipping while he was still in high school, and he jumped at the opportunity.

And today, he’s crushing it with his very own card shop.

In this video interview, you’ll learn about how Don grew his sports card business to the high 6 figures with only 7 employees. Even better, he started this incredible business with just $700.

This sports card store is doing so well, in fact, that they even received the coveted ‘Steve James’ Award from Upper Deck!

Learn how Don earns up to 100%-200% markup on his products, his views on not always being the cheapest at what you do, and how he drives so much business with completely free advertising!

You’ll also learn how Don got started, how he overcame scaling challenges early on in his business, how he prices his products (hint: he doesn’t use random internet prices), how you can get started in the sports card business for a very limited investment, and how you can use Don’s model to maximize your own business to get the best returns possible.

Anyone who’s wondering how to start a sports card business will learn a ton from this interview!
