Time/week spent: 5h - 15h

When starting a sports card flipping side hustle, individuals typically spend between 5 to 15 hours per week on this venture. Initially, more time is required for learning about the market, sourcing cards, and setting up sales channels. This phase can take around 2 weeks to start seeing profits. Tasks involved include researching card values, networking to find good deals, listing cards for sale, managing orders, and handling customer inquiries. Over time, as processes become more streamlined and a network of suppliers is established, the time commitment can decrease towards the lower end of the range. Online communities suggest that this hustle can be quite demanding in the beginning due to the learning curve and sourcing efforts.
