About this listen

In this episode of The Shift, host Luke Nesler sits down with Devon Criss — Burns JCB team member based in Bridgeport, West Virginia, elite trading card collector, hobby guru, and Rolex reseller — for a fascinating conversation about passion, discipline, and building value through expertise.

Devon breaks down how he transformed a personal interest in trading cards into a serious pursuit of knowledge, strategy, and long-term investing. From understanding market trends and grading to spotting undervalued cards and navigating high-end watch sales, he shares how patience, research, and timing play a major role in success — both in collectibles and in business.

This episode explores the mindset behind collecting at a high level, the parallels between alternative investments and entrepreneurship, and how mastering a niche can open unexpected doors. Whether you're into sports cards, luxury watches, or simply building smart side hustles, Devon offers practical insight and real-world lessons that translate far beyond the hobby.

Real conversations. Real knowledge. Real shifts.
