Funding Collection Ideas

Another option that takes a bit of upfront money would be organizing box/case breaks. You buy a case of cards and people pay for teams or players. You typically can get at least 20% back and it is your customers taking the risk. You just open their packs on live camera and mail out each customers' "winnings".

I've thought about that before. It's an interesting idea.

So based on all of these responses and a PM I got, I think I'm going to avoid Prospecting.

The goals for my collection don't necessarily have room for my funds to be tied up into prospecting, and I'm not in a place financially to put up a ton up front for buying/flipping.

I just got my first Monday-Friday 8-5 job, and I really like the freedom that schedule offers, so I'd prefer not to add a second job.

Conclusion: I'm going to develop a savings plan for my collection. Probably a monthly format, with goals/targets for each month. I'll just have to use what I have available.

Thank you very much for the responses.

Go Browns, Cavs, Indians, and Zips!
