Do you have a passion for collecting? Why not turn it into a career? Jim Sears has been selling baseball cards for more than 15 years and his Turf and Dirt sports trading cards shop is on track to make more than $750K in 2021. If you want to know how to sell baseball cards, you’ll want to watch this video. Jim Sears started off working for another card shop. He saw a need for a healthier, more positive community for sports card collectors, and Turf and Dirt was born out of this idea in 2019. The pandemic closed their brick-and-mortar months after it opened, forcing them to sell sports cards through their eCommerce shop. That quick thinking kept their basketball card flipping business viable when others were forced to close. One key to Turf and Dirt’s baseball card flipping success is their sponsorship with the Everett AquaSox, a Seattle Mariners affiliate. Today, we’ll find out how Jim secured that partnership and his advice for networking with sports card investors. Jim didn’t just want to sell baseball cards when he opened Turf and Dirt—he aimed to build a sports card investor community. The customer side of football card flipping is a big part of any sports card business, and we’ll hear his advice for creating a culture that keeps customers coming back.
