Tommy Lasorda didn’t inherit a card business.

He got fired during the pandemic and decided to bet on himself.

In this episode of Passion to Profession, sponsored by eBay, Tommy shares how he went from working as a breaker in someone else’s shop to launching Lasorda’s Card House in March 2025

We talk about:

Why he walked away from allocation and buys only what his customers want
How repacks, done right, protect value and trust
Why football became the focus
The Gold Kaboom Mahomes moment that accelerated growth
Why customer care matters more than short-term margin

If you care about trust, reputation, and playing the long game in this hobby, this one is for you.

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