Sounds like a fun opportunity for someone! Good luck with your search Rick!

ClockworkAngel · May 27, 2013 6:53AM

Agreed. What a fun and potentially lucrative position! I imagine you are getting hundreds of resumes. Good luck going through them.

Maybe you should hire a headhunter to help you find the right person!

Have you considered hiring a lobbyist?

dennis07 · May 27, 2013 7:16AM

"I imagine you are getting hundreds of resumes"

He may be getting the resumes but only a few of them will fit the job requirements.
The "strong client relationship skills" is always in limited supply. Combine that with strong knowledge of both
the sports card & auto/memorabilia market and it's going to be a tough fill IMO.
I'd throw my hat in the ring but I've finished one career and not hungry enough to start another. Besides
I'd suck at it.

Exodus · May 27, 2013 7:51AM

Best of luck Rick.

Rick is doing so well, his mother got a tattoo on her chest that says son.
Rick is so smart that he can speak fluent Russian, in French.
Rick's business is doing so well that Cuba has begun importing cigars from him.

chouser · May 27, 2013 8:02AM

He definitely should NOT hire a collector. A mix of business, supply chain management, and sales, would probably work with this. Would be a cool gig. Unless the min was initially 100k, due to the travel requirements, it could suck. If the selected candidate works out though, dump the actual salary back to the 50K and the commissions could quadruple it. good luck to whoever joins, am sure no beanie required.
This would definitely be a cool gig. (sign a contract for 5 years at least)

stormtrooper80 · May 27, 2013 9:58AM

maybe Lisa Bole is available

If you've finally figured out how to tell a Milton Bradley Ryan RC from a regular Topps, maybe you could throw your hat into the ring

itzagoner · May 27, 2013 12:30PM

i doubt i'd qualify for this position until i spend the night at a Holiday Inn Express.

mesapsa · May 27, 2013 12:55PM

This would be the perfect job for me but unless this includes room and board I'm affraid I'd spend every cent I made bidding on his auctions!!!! If I was just better with not trying to collect everything ever made I would be perfect.......

PhilG · May 27, 2013 1:01PM

I would take the job but I would need a expense account of $425 a night.

japhi · May 27, 2013 10:17PM

<< How about Director of Safety Bidding...spend the $50K for someone to police your unsupervised auctions. Forget that...growth at any co$t! >>

Or we could all take responsibility for ourselves and pay prices we are comfortable with. Why would Rick pay someone 50K so that you don't overpay on an auction?

Mdube16 · May 27, 2013 10:27PM

I love the shots people take...(note sarcasm)

I wish I were 20 years younger. Great opportunity for someone. Best of luck on the search!

bobbyw8469 · May 27, 2013 10:39PM

Mdube....don't worry about him. He is an alt/troll. He has been kicked off the CU boad more times than you can shake a stick at.

I think Mdube was referring to the shots taken at Probstein and his business, not me. I love how you assume that someone here was taking up for you

totallyradd · May 27, 2013 11:23PM

Wish I had more knowledge of all sports/all eras.

I'm a fast learner, but prolly not fast enough.

nflhof · May 28, 2013 12:41AM

Do you need to be located in New Jersey to be considered for this opportunity?

Okay, here's the deal, I'm not here to waste your time. Okay, I certainly hope you're not here to waste mine, so I'm gonna keep this short. Become an employee of this firm, you will make your first million within three years. Okay, I'm gonna repeat that, you will make a million dollars, within three years of your first day of employment. There's no question as to whether you become a millionaire working here. The only question is, how many times over. You think I'm joking . . . I am not joking. I am a millionaire. It's a weird thing to hear, right? Let me tell ya, it's a weird thing to say: I am a millionaire. And guess how old I am . . . 27, you know what that makes me here? A senior citizen. This firm is entirely comprised of people your age, not mine. Lucky for me, I happen to be very good at my job or I'd be out of one. You guys are the new blood. You are the future of this firm. Now you all look money hungry and that's good. Anybody who tells you that money is the root of all evil, doesn't have any. They say money can't buy happiness. Look at the smile on my face! Ear to ear baby! You want details, fine. I drive a Ferrari 355 Cabriolet . . . I have a ridiculous house at the South Fork. I have every toy you could possibly imagine. And best of all, I am liquid. So now you know what's possible, let me tell you what's required. You are required to work your butt off at this firm. We want winners here, not pikers. A piker walks at the bell. A Piker asks how much vacation time you get in the first year. Vacation time? People come to work at this firm for one reason, to become filthy rich, that's it. We're not here to make friends, we're not saving the manatees here guys. You want vacation time, go teach third grade at a public school.

1980scollector · May 28, 2013 4:57AM

I am certain I could this job.

Took $3,000 a year and a half ago then an additional $500 and have rolled it into this inventory in a year and half.

Not to mention I have used Probstein and his service practically pays for itself. It's an easy sale.

jay0791 · June 11, 2013 9:03PM

When I saw this job posting I immediately thought of only one person.

Absolutely perfect for the job: Knows all sports, great eye for graded and raw cards, Know past/future of sports, hofers
pleasant to talk and deal with, and already knows tons of collectors and hounds them for cards he needs...often with much success.

and is from Jersey

When I emailed him he was happy at current position and not interested.

Hope rick gets a good card bloodhound.
