Isolation has been perceived as a boring period of time, confined to our homes with no socializing. For myself, that statement couldn’t be further from the truth. Inspired by Isaac John and Gary Vee, investing in sports card in particular NBA has become a hobby that I love. Combining business, love of the sport and a bit of fun with mates. As the hobby of collecting grows it’s important that people have access to the right information so that they can avoid making mistakes and have a proper understanding of how things work. It was a pleasure chatting to Shane who has a wealth of knowledge and creating a resource that collectors and people new to the hobby can use.
