Job description

Job Title: Live Sports Card Break Host | Whatnot Live Stream Host

Company: Mount Olympus Rips

Location: Plymouth, MN (100% On-Site)

Schedule: Evening / Night Shift | 5:30 PM-2:00 AM

Compensation: $50/hour + Tips | Top hosts run 6-8 breaks per night | Top performers earn $100,000+ annually

To Stand Out

Email tom@ontimetalent.com and tell us about your sports card background, the products you know best, any breaking or streaming experience, and why collectors would want to watch you.

Stop Watching Someone Else Open the Cards.

If you're a serious collector, you've probably spent hours watching someone else sit in this chair.

You've watched cases of Prizm, National Treasures, Flawless, Bowman Chrome, and Topps Chrome get ripped live. You've waited for the Downtown, Kaboom!, Color Blast, Superfractor, RPA, or 1-of-1 to finally appear.

What if you were the one pulling it?

At Mount Olympus Rips, we're hiring Live Sports Card Break Hosts to get paid $50/hour + tips to do what most collectors spend their own money to experience:

Rip incredible cards. Talk sports. Entertain collectors.

The Best Seat in the Hobby

You walk into our Plymouth studio and the product is already waiting.

No buying inventory. No risking your own money on cases. No sourcing product. No sorting hundreds of cards after the stream. No packaging or shipping until 3:00 a.m.

We handle the business. You run the show.

You'll host 6-8 live breaks per night on Whatnot, opening premium NFL, NBA, and MLB products while interacting with collectors across the country.

What You'll Do

  • Host live sports card breaks on Whatnot
  • Rip hobby boxes, case breaks, PYTs, random teams, and personals
  • Talk NFL, NBA, MLB, players, rookies, prospects, and cards
  • Recognize autos, RPAs, parallels, SSPs, numbered cards, case hits, and major chasers
  • Keep viewers engaged with energy, humor, sports talk, and storytelling
  • Build relationships with regular customers
  • Create anticipation around every big reveal
  • Turn monster pulls into moments collectors remember
  • Stay current on Topps, Panini, Bowman, Fanatics, new releases, and hobby trends

You Need to Actually Know the Hobby

If we say PYT, RPA, SSP, PSA 10, comp, pop report, case hit, refractor, Downtown, Kaboom!, Color Blast, Gold Vinyl, or Superfractor, you should know what we're talking about.

We're looking for someone with legitimate sports card knowledge and a strong understanding of today's NFL, NBA, and MLB players.

But knowledge alone isn't enough.

Can you entertain?

Can you carry a conversation for hours? Keep the room alive when the cards are cold? Make a first-time buyer feel welcome? Lose your mind with a customer when the monster finally comes out?

That's what separates a breaker from a great live host.

Who Could Thrive Here?

We're interested in sports card collectors, experienced breakers, Whatnot sellers, streamers, content creators, broadcasters, podcasters, sales professionals, former athletes, coaches, and sports fanatics.

What matters most is finding the rare combination of:

Real sports card knowledge + real personality.

$50/Hour + Tips to Talk Sports and Rip Cards

Our top performers earn $100,000+ annually, but we're not paying someone $50/hour simply to open packs.

We're looking for someone who can host, entertain, engage, sell, react, and build an audience night after night.

If you've watched other breakers and thought, “I could do that,” here's your chance to prove it.

Ready to Take the Chair?

Email tom@ontimetalent.com and tell us:

  • Your sports card background
  • The products and sports you know best
  • Any breaking, Whatnot, streaming, broadcasting, content creation, or sales experience
  • Why collectors would choose to watch you

You've spent enough time watching the break. Now come run it.
