Passion to Profession: Navigating the 2025 Bull Market While Building a Business with Mike at MC Sports Cards

Mike from MC Sports Cards is back on Passion to Profession , presented by eBay. In this episode, Mike breaks down how the current bull market feels different from 2021 and why focusing on quality over quantity continues to separate his business. He shares his perspective from the front lines of the hobby—running high-end consignments, navigating collector psychology, and adapting to the demands of a growing market. We also talk about the evolution of MC’s business model, the rise of case hits and repacks, why scarcity matters now more than ever, and the mindset it takes to stay consistent through waves of hobby growth. This one’s a masterclass in staying focused when everything around you feels hot. A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Passion to Profession.
