Stacking Slabs

In this episode of Passion to Profession, presented by eBay, I’m joined by James from Topp Tier Cards and Topp Tier Breaks. James turned his collecting obsession into a full-time operation, and this conversation breaks down how he made it all happen.

We get into what makes his break room different, why staying true to your style matters, and how building a business on eBay gave him the freedom to focus on collectors—not trends. This is an episode for anyone who’s ever wondered what it really takes to build something sustainable in the hobby.

A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Passion to Profession. The biggest and best marketplace to buy your next favorite trading card.
