Welcome to the Tuesday Three!

The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) just threw a curveball! They're ditching Panini for Fanatics when it comes to minting those coveted football cards. And here's the kicker - they're making this power move a whole THREE YEARS before their deal with Panini was set to wind down. Didn't see that one coming, did you?

What's the Play for You?

Right now? Hold your horses. Panini and Fanatics are duking it out in court over who gets the bigger slice of the licensing pie. And until that dust settles, Panini's still on track to roll out their NFL releases all year long.

But keep this on your radar: this contract shake-up could become a major plot twist in their courtroom drama.

For all you eagle-eyed collectors and sellers always hunting for the next goldmine - this is your heads up. If Fanatics steps into the arena, dropping NFL cards under the legendary Topps brand? You better believe those first releases will be hotter than the Barbenheimer weekend! We're talking instant classics, and potentially a gold rush for those in the know.

You're seriously leaving cash on the table.

Let me paint a picture for you. This weekend, Alex Hormozi, the business heavyweight, dropped his latest book. The buildup? Insane. Teasers, social media blasts, and an event that every entrepreneur was raving about. With over 100,000 people lining up and a live audience that could fill a stadium, this event was nothing short of legendary. Here's the kicker: while the book wasn’t free, all the juicy content around it was – even if you missed the live event.

Now, I know what's running through your mind: "Cool story, but I'm in the sports card biz. How's this relevant?"

Buckle up. Here's your blueprint:

What's your endgame? Launching a collection of pristine cards? Putting up a nail-biting 99-cent auction for rare collectibles?

Or are you thinking bigger, like a flash sale that'll get everyone talking?

Slide into your customers' DMs. Give them the lowdown on what’s coming.

Use that eBay Store Newsletters tool like it's going out of style. Daily updates? Check. Building curiosity? Double check.

It's the day. Whether you're listing those prized cards or hitting the launch button on that sale, it's showtime.

If you’ve played your cards right (pun intended), you'll see a surge in traffic and, fingers crossed, a sweet spike in sales.

Let’s cut to the chase: you might not be Hormozi, but with the right moves, you can make some serious noise. Strategize, hype it up, and deliver. Ready to make eBay your goldmine?

eBay, your go-to platform for trading those cards, has switched things up in their customer service game. Here's the breakdown:

1. That US Phone Number? It's Got a New Tune.

You know the one – that US phone line for eBay's elite Anchor Store Subscribers. Maybe you've even sneakily dialed it once or twice after finding it online. Well, eBay's caught on to its viral fame. Try it now, and you'll be directed straight to their online support. But hey, if you're part of the Anchor Store club? Chill out! They've still got your back. Just request a call, and you'll be chatting with eBay's US support in no time.

2. Hungry for Quality Support? Dive into Facebook.

Let's get real. eBay's basic seller support is like that unpredictable vending machine – sometimes it hits the spot, other times it leaves you craving. Quick responses? Sure thing. Always on point? Eh, not quite. If you're itching for those gold-standard answers, shift your attention to eBay for Business on Facebook. Send them a note with what's bugging you. It might be a tad longer before they hit you back, but trust me, it'll be worth the wait. The insights? Chef's kiss.

See you next week,
