Passion to Profession: Griffey Superfractors and Building a Real Business in the Hobby with Tait from Hoody's Collectibles

<p>On this episode of Passion to Profession presented by eBay, I sit back down with Tait, the owner of Hoody’s Collectibles. Our last chat happened in February, and a lot has changed since then.</p><p>We cover what it takes to run a real sports card business in 2025, why some products fly and others stall, and how Tait navigates the swings of the market while managing stores, consignment, and a nonstop flow of collections.</p><p>We also walk through several standout cards that moved through Hoody’s this year, from Griffey Superfractors to Jordan inserts to vintage Mantle.</p><p> If you want an honest look at how a shop owner stays sharp, stays connected, and stays growing, this one will hit you.</p><p>A special thank you to <a href="https://www.ebay.com/">eBay</a> for sponsoring Passion to Profession.
