Dan McKee started collecting T206 cards at seven years old. Fifty-seven years of collecting now inform how he buys, sells, and runs Darby-s Vintage on eBay.

In this episode of Passion to Profession, Brett talks with Dan about turning collecting knowledge into a business. Dan shares how he finds inventory in auction catalogs, why he gives some listings years to sell, and how he handles purchases that lose money.

He also shares the story behind a $600 U.S. Caramel wrapper, showing Frank Robinson a card the player hadn’t seen, and building sets with his father that he still won’t sell.

A conversation about what you learn through collecting, how that knowledge serves your business, and why some cards stay with you.
