Tork Media Update: On Launching Two Businesses During The Pandemic
Note: This business is no longer running. It was started in 2020 and ended in 2024. Reason for closure: Shut down.
This is a follow up story for SNC Grading. If you're interested in reading how they got started, published over 5 years ago, check it out here.
Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.
I started 2 complementary pandemic businesses in 2020:
buying and selling sports and Pokemon cards on eBay; and
offering card grading and authenticating services specifically for those same sports and Pokemon cards
I learned how to value the cards, what tools were needed, and made some large investments into education and technology. Today, I only focus on grading/authenticating and don’t sell cards anymore. The business is still doing about $10,000 a month.
Tell us about what you’ve been up to! Has the business been growing?
Because we pivoted from buying and selling cards to only focusing on grading, the ups and downs of the card market don’t impact us...
