Episode 2 is where things get real. We’re breaking down how TCG has completely changed the shop, from Pokémon and beyond, and what that impact actually looks like behind the counter. 💥

We dive into some crazy shop stories you truly can’t make up, the wins, the chaos, and the moments that only happen in a card shop. Plus, we compare big card shows vs local shows — the money, the crowds, the deals, and which ones actually matter for collectors and shop owners.

If you’re into the hobby, thinking about opening a shop, or just love hearing what really goes on in the card world, this episode is for you. Welcome back Out of the Hobby Box 🎙️📦

In this episode of Out of the Hobby Box, we take it all the way back to where B&B Sports Cards began. From buying and selling at local shows and trade nights to opening the doors of a full-scale shop, this is the real origin story behind the brand.

We break down how B&B was built from the ground up, the risks, the wins, and the lessons learned along the way. Then we dive into the in-shop breaking operation—how live breaks became a major part of the business, what it takes to run them day-to-day, and why breaking has become such a huge pillar of the modern hobby.

If you’ve ever wondered how a card shop grows from hustle to home base, or what really goes on behind the scenes of live breaks, this episode is for you.
