There is no gap in the market for people re-selling sports cards.
I agree, but it is a double-edge sword. It is a problem when people buy and sell in items they are personally/psychologically invested in. On the other hand, they have a knowledge of the material, which is important.

As I said: "going beyond baseball cards and knowing sell prices." However, realize that when you go into different areas there is a lot of stuff you don't know. Remember all the minute variations and intricacies in baseball cards that affect value.
