## Caption

In this episode of Sports Cards Nonsense, Mike Gioseffi sits down with Chris Thomas of @AtaboyCards to break down a masterclass in scaling the sports card hobby into a high-six-figure empire. Chris isn’t just a collector; he’s a full-time music teacher who has cracked the code on balancing a 9-to-5 with a card business projected to gross $850,000 in 2026.

The "Bet on Yourself" Moment: Chris reveals the $1,400 investment that changed everything and how he turned it into $1,000 profit in 24 hours. He also shares how he's 3Xing his business year-over-year by leveraging live selling and community engagement.

Plus, he brought a game! Gio brings in Papa Gio for a game of Keep or Cut: Boston Sports Icons featuring Brady, Bird, Ortiz and more.
