Bert Ryan wants to open a card shop in Seattle where collectors can meet, talk sports, and trade. He’s building the business that can pay for it through breaks.

On Hobby Jobs, Bert tells Brett how Grand Salami Sports Cards sources wax without manufacturer allocations, prices breaks that can have 600 player spots, and helps collectors get images of their cards before the mail arrives. He explains why he kept buying 2022 Topps Finest Flashbacks and how he weighs the rest of a checklist when one card gets most of the attention.

If you run breaks, you’ll hear where Bert puts his time to earn a second purchase. If you buy into them, you’ll leave with a question to ask before you pay for your next spot.
