Welcome to The Hobby Log

Welcome to The Hobby Log — the blog side of Sexton Collects.

I'm Jeff. I collect, buy, sell, break, stream, ship, sort, and scan cards out of Michigan, and this is where I'll write about all of it. Not press releases. Not recycled "top 10 rookie cards" filler. The actual day-to-day of running a hobby business while still being a collector first.

What you'll find here

• Collecting thoughts — what I'm chasing, what I'm noticing in the market, and the occasional mail day worth talking about.
• Live-selling and OBS lessons — real fixes from real streams. I run OBS setup and support services for card sellers, and the problems I solve there turn into posts here.
• Product tests — before anything earns a spot in Card Supplies, I use it. Stands, slab cases, sleeves — you'll see how they hold up.
• eBay and behind-the-scenes updates — what's moving on the eBay store and what building this brand actually looks like.

Why bother with a blog?

Because the hobby deserves better than algorithm bait. Some things need more than a 30-second clip — how to prep cards for grading, how to keep a stream from crashing mid-break, whether a $17 slab case actually protects a $500 card. That's what this space is for.

New posts land as they're ready. If you want the short-form version of the same life, the socials are on the About page. Thanks for reading — simply the hobby.
