1556 - Father/Sons: Ben Bush and Sons Ryan and Sterling, Part 2

Dr. Beckett interviews Waco dealers Ben Bush and sons Ryan and Sterling, sharing how their family built a fast-turn, buy-right/sell-right card business. They discuss learning basics like comps, triaging and organizing inventory as a team, adapting to each show’s changing demand, and growing through live streaming and Whatnot while managing growth carefully to avoid failure. Ben describes their “do unto others” approach as rooted in faith, aiming to treat people well, avoid making negotiations personal, and being ready for meaningful conversations with customers. Dr. Beckett also addresses potential impacts of a future MLB labor stoppage on the baseball card market, and why the DFW area is a national hub for the hobby.   01:36 Learning the Card Business 03:56 Future Plans and Growth 05:32 Faith and Family Values 09:59 Proud of the Boys 12:07 Baseball Strike Impact 13:46 DFW Card Industry Hub
