Passion to Profession: Building a Business on Principles: Ben of Sports Cards Forever

In this episode of Passion to Profession, I’m joined by Ben of Sports Cards Forever, one of eBay’s top vintage sellers. Ben’s calm and methodical approach to buying and selling is rooted in principles, not hype. We go deep on topics that don’t get enough airtime—like how to build a sustainable inventory, why listening is more important than talking, and how to create a business that aligns with your life.

This one had me taking notes.

It’s a reminder that there’s no one way to operate in the hobby—there’s only your way.

Whether you’re flipping, stacking, or holding, you’ll leave this episode with something to think about.

Welcome back to stacking slabs.

This is your hobby content alternative, and this is passion to profession brought to you by my good friends at eBay. It is that time of the week where we dig into the entrepreneurial journey of one of eBay's top sellers.

Today, I'm joined by Ben at Sports Cards Forever. There is so much wisdom in this episode, especially on the buying and selling side.

BIN and Sports Cards Forever primarily operates in the vintage category, but I'm telling you there's so much in this one that whatever you're collecting or whatever you're buying, whatever you're selling, you are going to come away with something in this episode.
