You probably know this, but the first class rates run in sequences of 4oz. Use a scale and get the weights exact and it will pay for itself. The post office catches unders/overs so there may be times where you get a refund even when you overshoot the weight.
3 issues with opening a new card shop. 1. New Product Sourcing with Fanatics take over 2. Overhead 3. Customer Service. With the latter, if you can't say a simple hi when a person walks in, its probably not for you.
Enjoy your content and love your focus on the kids. You are making a difference in the current hobby and the future hobby. Thank you

Great content as always. One of the biggest problems in the world today is everyone judging other's for the path they are on. People need to focus on living their own lives and being the best person they can be Everyone has their own path. People need to never judge another because they need to realize that they have not walked in that person's shoe's. You have your own plan and your own path to where you want to get to. You do you! Also love your openness with your Faith and keeping everything in a proper perspective.

Great episode would be to take a stack of your IP autos and tell us the story about how you got them, interactions etc. Also great to store for historical purposes for yourself! BTW back pack #1
Jay, when I was a kid my parents owned Jewelry stores. When started doing cards my dad gave me 1 showcase to sell cards. I was 15 and would also set up at shows. You should get your dad to do the same. Cards, Coffee and Donuts - do it. You are welcome. Card shop is busy when donut store isn’t. It’s a good pairing.
Mojo I need to tell you that you inspire me and my son To enjoy this beautiful hobby. 1st video that I saw it was Your video And that was in February 2022.

You should check out Pirate Ship for your shipping. Very easy and great rates. Think about getting a scale. Why pay for 5 ounces when it might be 4. 4 ounces is the cutoff for USPS. 1-4 ounces cost the same, then 4.1oz to 8 oz is the next block.

I envy you being able to hang out around them and yet do what you love… they would love to have me home and stay with them no matter wat… anyways cherish wat u have and your lovely dad and mum. Keep up with your cards and business …good Luck❤
Really enjoy videos like this that show the other side of things. Dude I live in my parents basement too and i just turned 40. I got 2 kids and I am a single dad with full custody.

As a foreign kid growing up, and knowing you're Persian, this is very normal for people that have parents that come from other countries. Most American kids, as soon as they are 18, they get kicked out, which is sad. This helps you save money and grow as a person in a different way.

Us who work from home almost always have a much greater ROI than having a physical shop. Also shows are all cash, I am much happier spending my money on getting to different shows that bring 95% cash, than paying rent and utilities for a shop. Same thing with traveling salesmen.

I'm not sure why people think loving your parents is a put down, but I feel sorry for them because obviously they didn't have great relationships with theirs. As someone that has lost both of his parents I can tell you there is no such thing as spending too much time with mom & dad. live with them as long as you can
👍
Its good that you talk about living at home with your parents. Based on your videos, a lot of young people look up to you and they know you as someone who relies financially on sports cards business. But that is not realistic for most people. You can afford to do what you do because you live at home with your parents. But the reality is that for most people, that is not possible.

2 minutes in and I couldn’t agree more, I’ve been trying to tell people if it’s possible try to live with family for free as long as you can. Renting is such a joke in the US, just imagine renting for $2k a month for 5 years.. that’s a fat down payment on a house that you own and can most likely profit off of
Two years ago I bought a $50 numbered /50 tony pollard encased 9.5 now it’s on eBay for $500 so I think it was a pretty good buy

What's up Mojo. I just wanted to give you a shout-out, j recently started watching your videos and I I totally dig theme. I recently started collecting again after some years off. I was huge into cards as a kid I. The 90s but I lost my entire collection in storage when my par nts moved.then again I got pretty heavy into collecting in the early 2000s. I had multiple ledron and cs wad vrcs tons of that stuff but I sold my entire collection I. 2006 when I was diagnos dvwith cancelr and had to quit working so I sold it all to my boss for bill money. Boy oh boy I wish I still had that collection. Abywai started overagain about acgear ago want I love the new hobby though I wish I could find some local people to trade with. Ok that note I have a bunch of cards I put together to send you but I don't know where to send them Also Im 43 Been married 20yewrs weeks have 2 teenagers and I live with myother in law, it just makes sense in today's housing market. A make plenty of money to not have to but we alll get to enjoy our hard earned money alot lotl more this way than paying 2 or 3 times as much having our own place. Anyway ty for all you dio, your videos are amazing. If I could get an address to send your cards too I would appreciate it

I know I'm late on this one, but I want people to know that there is nothing wrong with living with your parents and building a foundation. My 2 oldest kids are doing it now. Just make sure that when you are telling people they can do this or you need to hustle etc... somewhere in the video the fact you live with family can really hurt someone's mindset. They see you pulling out $1000's from the bank, going to shows, other countries while they are doing the same thing you are, but because they have bills, kids etc... it gives the appearance that they are doing something wrong. Again, nothing wrong with it, just let people know.
