In this Passion to Profession episode sponsored by eBay, I’m joined by Brian and Jesse from Arena Club. Their presence is everywhere in the hobby right now—and that’s no accident. We get into the early feedback that shaped Arena Club, the big announcement around their new physical slab packs with eBay, and their mindset around building a collector-first platform.

We also talk about:

• Why repacks exist, and how they’re trying to make them better
• The importance of taste, curiosity, and team when building a new company
• The role of live, blockchain, and global expansion in hobby innovation

Whether you’re skeptical of new platforms or already exploring Arena Club, this one will help you understand their 'why.'

A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Passion to Profession. The biggest and best marketplace to buy your next favorite trading card.
