Steve Summers introduced his son Nick to collecting by opening packs together. Today, they’re building Sports Cards Grading as a family.

In this episode of Passion to Profession, Steve and Nick join Brett to talk about turning their connection through cards into a business on eBay Live. They discuss Nick’s decision to leave his job, the work behind 50,000 auctions in 2026, and why knowing what someone collects changes how they serve them.

They know the teams their buyers follow. They know their children’s names. And they buy cards at shows with those collectors in mind.

It’s a conversation about building a business around the people who keep showing up.
