Former NFL linebacker Blake Martinez quit football to sell Pokémon cards.
A business built on cards
Martinez jumped on the trend that March, buying a couple of boxes of cards for $30,000 —"paying a premium to buy vintage packs to try to get my collection back," he says. Then, he realized the cards"are not 99 cents anymore There are packs worth like $500,000." Martinez calls that realization his"pivot point." A month into his tenure with the Raiders, he announced his retirement from football — and immediately started dedicating up to 80 hours per week on Blake's Breaks.
Martinez has several short- and long-term goals planned. First, open warehouses in Canada and the U.K., and hit $10 million in annual revenue. Then, expand into trading comic books and hit $25 million in revenue.says there are more than 50 of them — adding them"one by one," he says.
