Baseball card business?
Hi - I’m the mom of a boy finishing his freshman year of high school. He’s a good (not great) student and is still figuring out what he’s interested in. Meaning, he doesn’t really have a clue where he wants to go to college, where he could get in, or what he wants to major in (maybe engineering?). And I think that’s okay!
My question is this…he has accumulated a number of baseball cards over the years and has started a small biz with them. He tracks them, watches their value, attends card shows and shops, etc.
Is there anything about this that could potentially help boost a college application. And, if so, what guidance do you have for him? Does he need to start some sort of social media page to garner followers (I hate SM for kids 😂)? Does he need to carefully track every transaction to know his profit over the years? Anything else I’m not thinking about?
This is a fun hobby for him, but I want to make sure we leverage it (if helpful) when the time comes.
Any feedback is appreciated!
PS. Any book recommendations to help with building something like this?
Thank you!!
