On The Bench With Chad Bleznick of Blez Sports
Give us some background on your current involvement in the hobby.
CB: My current involvement in the trading card hobby is running Blez Sports Cards with my brother Jared and investing in singles. We livestream group sports card box breaks every day on YouTube with a mission to provide the card community with a reliable place to hang out, have fun, and watch massive cards get pulled. On the side, I am active in investing in single cards.
What’s your earliest memory of Trading Cards?
CB: My earliest memory of trading cards is at the 2003 National Sports Card Show. I was 7 years old and my two older brothers were opening a ton of Upper Deck promo packs trying to chase LeBron James, who at the time was the most hyped rookie ever.
How did you get started in the Hobby?
CB: I was pretty much always in the sports card hobby, starting at a young age because of my two older brothers.
Who are you currently investing in?
CB: I mostly invest in basketball cards. My two top guys are Luka Doncic and LeBron James. LeBron is a safe investment while Luka is more of a risk but with some huge upside.
What is the biggest hit you’ve ever pulled?
CB: The biggest card I have ever pulled was live on Blez Sports Cards. It was of the late great Kobe Bryant. At the time it was worth around $75,000 and since Kobe’s passing all of his autograph cards have gone up 3-5x.
