Full Job Description

The Buying Team Lead for Sports Cards is our resident expert in sports card authentication, valuation, and acquisition. You'll evaluate and purchase singles and collections from walk-in customers, travel to card shows to acquire high-value inventory, and set the buying standards for sports cards at Ballpark Cards. You'll also train and supervise part-time buying staff and collaborate closely with the Inventory Manager to ensure all purchased product is properly catalogued and priced.

This is a founding team role

Ballpark Cards is building its team from the ground up, and this is a founding position. You will not inherit someone else's systems — you will create them. We hire people who can do the job today and lead a team doing it tomorrow, and we promote from within before we look outside. Compensation is formally reviewed at 90 days and annually thereafter, with earlier reviews when scope expands.

About Ballpark Cards

Ballpark Cards is Arlington's premier sports card and memorabilia destination, located at Choctaw Stadium directly across from Globe Life Field — home of the Texas Rangers. As an official strategic partner of the Rangers, we're more than a retail shop: we're a community hub where collectors touch cards, trade, socialize, and experience the hobby at the highest level. We're a people-first, values-driven team!

What you'll do

Purchasing Oversight

Evaluate and purchase sports card singles and collections from walk-in customers
Set clear buying standards and pricing structures for sports cards based on current market comps and inventory needs
Establish and enforce buy-margin targets that protect profitability while keeping offers competitive in the DFW market
Authenticate cards and identify stolen, altered, trimmed, or counterfeit products before purchase

Card Show Acquisition

Travel to card shows and industry events to acquire new inventory, with a focus on unique, high-value, or high-volume opportunities
Represent Ballpark Cards professionally to dealers, collectors, and industry contacts

Inventory Coordination

Work closely with the Inventory Manager – Singles & Card Bar to log all purchased items into the system, assign SKUs/UPCs, and set appropriate pricing
Ensure accurate recordkeeping for cost of goods and resale planning

Team Management

Train and supervise part-time buying staff in customer interactions, negotiation tactics, and use of comp tools
Provide guidance on which items to purchase or pass on, based on store needs and buying guidelines
Review and approve offers above a set dollar threshold

What we're looking for

Extensive knowledge of sports card authentication, grading (PSA, BGS, SGC), and market valuation
Proven experience buying and selling sports cards at a professional or semi-professional level
Strong negotiation skills and the ability to evaluate collections quickly, accurately, and fairly
Familiarity with comp tools (eBay sold listings, 130point, Card Ladder, Market Movers, PWCC, etc.)
Ability to stay current on market trends, player performance, and product releases that move value
Comfortable representing Ballpark Cards at card shows and industry events, including overnight travel
Leadership experience or demonstrated ability to train and guide others

Nice to have

Prior experience at a card shop buying desk or as a professional buyer/dealer
Strong existing network in the DFW or national sports card community
Experience with vintage as well as modern products

Compensation and growth

Base pay: $68,000 – $82,000 per year
Eligible for performance-based compensation tied to realized buy margin and inventory quality.
Formal compensation review at 90 days and annually thereafter, with off-cycle reviews when responsibilities expand.
Where this role goes: You are the first sports buying hire. You will set the standards, then hire and lead the part-time buyers who work under them.

Why Ballpark Cards

A founding-team role — you help build this business, not maintain someone else's
A one-of-a-kind workplace in the heart of the Arlington Entertainment District
Front-row access to Texas Rangers games, events, and exclusive memorabilia
A passionate, close-knit team that genuinely loves sports cards and the hobby
Real room to grow — we promote from within first, and these roles are designed to expand as the business scales
A culture built on respect, authenticity, and community
