In this episode of GoodSellas, we’re joined by Don Shaw (better known as @geowiz34 over at Twitter and as nova_cards on eBay) to talk about how he uses Check Out My Cards (COMC) to build his collection and reputation as a collector. Don’s used COMC to move thousands of new-age cards to make cumulative eye-opening profit margins—which is why he’s as reputable as he is today.
Although he describes himself as a “disabled army veteran who cannot stop laughing at this world”, the one thing that can’t be laughed at is his card collecting game.
If you wanted to know the print run of any card, he’d be more than ready to tell you about it in-depth based on things like pack odds and market sentiment on Blowout Cards forums. This sheer dedication is precisely why he’s a key figure in the sports card collecting space—and how he uses COMC to grow his collection plays a key role in this, too.
With Check Out My Cards, Don’s been able to grow his collection and up his profits by successfully selling his modern cards to get coveted vintage releases. And he believes that it’s a tried-and-true strategy that any collector can do as long as they keep the right things in mind.
We had an amazing time listening to Don Shaw go over his experience with COMC and how he used it to build his dream collection. Throughout the discussion, he went into detail over a few key points that can help card collectors everywhere—such as:
Whether you’re a hobbyist or a serial collector, Don’s wisdom and experience with maximizing COMC is something that you can learn a whole lot from. His story also proves that there’s always an opportunity to make money regardless of what you get in any pack of cards.
