Trading Card Specialist Acquisitions & Live Sales

Job Purpose

SG Property Management is seeking a Trading Card Specialist to drive acquisitions and live sales for its Dream Big Collectibles operation. This role is centered on evaluating collections, negotiating purchases, and sourcing inventory across Pokémon, One Piece, sports cards, and other trading card categories. The specialist will research market values, build data-backed offers, and close deals — then help move that inventory through online marketplaces and live-selling platforms. The ideal candidate knows the card market cold, negotiates with confidence, is comfortable on camera for live rips, breaks, and auctions, and can pitch in on social media content for TikTok, Instagram, and Whatnot.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Evaluate incoming collections (Pokémon, One Piece, sports cards, and other TCGs) for authenticity, condition, completeness, and market value
• Lead purchase negotiations with sellers — build fair, data-backed offers on singles, lots, sealed product, and full collections, and close deals that hit target margins
• Actively source inventory through marketplaces, card shows, local sellers, estate/collection leads, social media, and community networks
• Research current market values using sold comps, population reports, and pricing tools to set accurate buy, sell, and trade pricing
• Grade and categorize cards based on condition (corners, surface, edges, centering) using established grading standards, and flag grading candidates
• Identify pricing trends and flag high-value, rare, or fast-moving cards for specialized handling
• List, update, and manage card inventory across online marketplaces and live-selling platforms
• Appear on camera for live rips, box breaks, and auctions on Whatnot, TikTok, and other live-selling platforms — energy and audience engagement are part of the job
• Support the social media campaign: create and schedule postings, and assist with video/image editing for TikTok, Instagram, and Whatnot content
• Maintain detailed Excel spreadsheets tracking inventory counts, cost basis, sale price, and profit/loss
• Process purchases, sales, and trades with accurate recordkeeping of every transaction, and reconcile platform reports against internal records
• Package and prepare cards for safe shipping, and respond to customer inquiries professionally
• Follow the company's strict code of ethics and protect any confidential or financial information
• Communicate regularly with management on sourcing pipeline, inventory status, sales performance, and pricing concerns
