Highlight

03:00 – With our growth, we started in 2016, between our online business or our in-person store, we are the largest seller of Topps baseball cards in the country.

09:15 – So he took me down to Chicago to this  big sports card convention and I was like “Oh this is awesome”. So that was kind of the hook for me to collect more.

22:10 – When I started this business and when went full time, we had a lot of people like that and I don’t even care what they say anymore. I used to really care and I feel like I have to convince people.

23:55 – I always tell kids, when an adult asks you what do you want when you grow up, turn the table and ask them.

45:20 – So I never look at myself as a successful entrepreneur. I always look at myself as a 12-year-old who plays baseball cards.
