So is Geoff going to lose his shirt by investing 3MM in creating a card shop? I hope his wife is really wealthy. That is a big initial investment.

I'd think more like 50k.
Who is Geoff?
Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!

he is an "influencer" on youtube and socials. his moniker is "the sportscard investor" seems like a nice enough guy, but i sure wouldnt take any of his sportscard investor advice.

I think investing is risky? How many players who were supposed to be great. That it didn't turn out that way.

Hype sells.
What are the parameters? If it buys a lot of "wax" to resell in that amount, then it could be a quick churn...
They have already hired there first two employees.

just think of the overhead on a 3MM dollar card shop. astounding.

Security being a main one.
"Buy all the Tiger Woods rookie cards you can. Buy all the Tiger Woods rookie cards you can."
So much for early retirement.
I recall those Tiger Woods rookie cards that Don West was constantly hawking. They were PRO graded 10's that depending on the show, were being offered for $10,000 to $20,000 each.
To say that was a terrible hiss poor investment, would be a gross understatement. 💸
He's going to have something like six or seven "breaking studios" so his employees can break packs all day. A kids trading area, a "sports book like atmosphere" , etc
He has a vision to basically make a card shop as close to Disney World as possible. The fact of the matter is, a card shop isn't going to be a tourist attraction. I know there will be an online store that goes along with it, but I just can't see how something like this can sustain once the initial local hype dies down. I think he believes that everyday will be like a day at the National.
They should put it in downtown philly. LOL!!
Overhead is going to be a beast.
Wonder if the complex will include warehousing and a vault? The breaking studios are interesting especially if open to the public. But just seeing the endless shelves of unopened new product at Wamart makes me wonder how he will differentiate.
Frankly he may be well-heeled enough that he doesn’t need to break even the first few years and he may have some sponsors lined up to help.
I think his “investment” advice sucks but he is VERY good at promotion and interviewing - and he has built up a very well regarded social media presence in a short time period. He is also very passionate about what he is doing - sweat equity should not be underestimated.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.
Breaking studios might be first smart idea Sportscard Investors had...

Wow, is that ever true.
There's a shop near me - Sports Card Plus - been there for over 20 yrs.
It was burglarized last year. I was talking with the owner and he had to add real time night security. He also told me his fire/theft insurance was well over 20K a year.
wow, 20K a year for insurance alone. that is no joke. I cant imagine what Geoff will need to carry for insurance.
from what i have heard, margins on unopened is pretty tight. for his sake, i hope he does well buying singles and also sell a lot of supplies. We have a seller up here that sets up at all the shows and all he sells are supplies. he always has about 4 tables full of everything you can imagine. I have overheard him saying that when you buy in bulk the margins are not too bad on supplies.
