If I Had $100 and No Inventory… What I’d Do Today | Card Reseller Podcast

If you had to start over today as a trading card reseller reseller — no inventory, no backlog, no sunk costs — and only $100, what would you do differently in your buying?

In Episode 22 of My So-Called Card Life, we run a simple thought experiment. This isn’t advice or a shopping list. It’s a conversation about how experience changes the way you think about buying inventory, patience, and risk in the hobby and your reselling business.

This episode is lighter, reflective, and meant to spark conversation — not copy-and-paste strategies.

What we talk about:

What I would not buy anymore
How my thinking has changed over time
Why patience is underrated
Why flexibility beats prediction
What still matters no matter how long you’ve been selling

This one’s about perspective, not perfection.
