What does a sports card collector do?

Sports card collectors are individuals who collect trading cards featuring athletes from various sports, such as baseball, basketball, football, and more. These collectors often seek cards for their rarity, historical significance, or personal value, and may trade, buy, or sell cards to build their collections. Collectors also grade and preserve cards to maintain their condition and value. Many participate in online forums, attend card shows, and follow market trends to stay informed about the hobby.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a sports card dealer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Sports Card Dealer, you need a strong knowledge of sports card values, authentication, and market trends, often supported by experience in collectibles sales or related certifications. Familiarity with inventory management software, online auction platforms, and grading systems like PSA or Beckett is typically required. Excellent negotiation, customer service, and networking skills help build relationships with clients and suppliers. These skills are crucial for maximizing profits, ensuring authenticity, and maintaining a reputable position in the competitive sports card market.

What are some common challenges faced by sports card appraisers, and how can they overcome them?

Sports card appraisers often encounter challenges such as accurately determining card values in a rapidly changing market, authenticating cards to avoid counterfeits, and staying updated with industry trends. To overcome these obstacles, appraisers regularly consult trusted price guides, attend trade shows, and participate in collector forums to deepen their market knowledge. Building a strong professional network and utilizing reputable authentication services can also help ensure accurate appraisals and maintain client trust.

While both roles involve collecting sports-related items, a Sports Card specialist focuses on trading, grading, and investing in sports cards, whereas a Sports Memorabilia Collector deals with a broader range of sports artifacts like jerseys, equipment, and signed items. Both require knowledge of authentication and industry standards but differ in the types of items and environments they operate within.

We're looking for someone who already knows the sports card hobby and can bring the personality to match.

You should be comfortable talking about sports, players, rookies, prospects, products, parallels, inserts, and hits while keeping a live audience entertained and engaged.

This is not an entry-level sports card position. We'll teach you how Waxxed operates, but you need to come in with existing sports card knowledge.


What You'll Do

  • Host live sports card breaks on Fanatics Live.
  • Open and present sports card products live on camera.
  • Recognize and discuss key cards, players, rookies, prospects, parallels, inserts, and hits.
  • Talk sports and current storylines naturally throughout broadcasts.
  • Engage with customers and build relationships with viewers.
  • Keep the stream entertaining, energetic, and moving.
  • Manage live interactions while maintaining accuracy and professionalism.
  • Represent the Waxxed Sports brand on camera.


You Must Have

  • Previous sports card experience and knowledge of the hobby.
  • Strong professional and collegiate sports knowledge.
  • Familiarity with major sports card products and hobby terminology.
  • Confidence speaking and performing on camera.
  • An outgoing personality and strong communication skills.
  • The ability to think quickly and keep a conversation going.
  • Dependable attendance and reliable transportation.
  • Availability Friday–Tuesday from 4:00 PM–1:00 AM.
  • Ability to work in person at our Plano, Dallas, and Denton locations.


Even Better If You Have

  • Previous breaking experience.
  • Fanatics Live or live-selling experience.
  • Live streaming/content creation experience.
  • Sales or customer service experience.
  • Bartending or hospitality experience.
  • Broadcasting, acting, public speaking, or entertainment experience.
  • Competitive athletics or coaching experience.
  • TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, or similar platform experience.


The Schedule

Friday–Tuesday
4:00 PM–1:00 AM
Off Wednesday & Thursday
Full-time, approximately 40 hours per week.

This position is 100% in person.


Pay & Growth

Starting at $20+/hour, based on experience.

  • Paid training.
  • Growth opportunities as Waxxed Sports continues to expand.
  • Work in the sports card industry every day.
  • Join a fast-growing team built around sports, collecting, and live entertainment.


Think You Can Break?

If you know cards, know sports, have the personality to command a live stream, and can work the required schedule, we want to hear from you.
