In Episode 4, Nik sits down with Kevin Miguel, owner of Supreme Sports Cards in Fall River, MA, to talk about his rapid rise in the hobby. Kevin shares how a forgotten tote of junk-wax sparked his journey, the mistakes he made early on, and the research habits that now guide his buying and selling.

They discuss the challenges of comps, navigating Whatnot, building community at Boston-area shows, and what Fanatics’ takeover could mean for the future. Kevin also gives practical advice for young collectors—avoiding pack chasing, starting small, and investing in cards you understand.

As always, the conversation ties back to financial literacy, showing how collecting teaches budgeting, value tracking, and smart decision-making.

A fast, insightful episode for collectors of all ages.
