Episode 21: Dealer Spotlight, Dennis Worden (Part 2)

We’re back for Part 2 of our inspiring conversation with Dennis from Triple Play Sports Cards in Sioux Falls — and this time, we’re digging even deeper.

If you enjoyed last episode’s dive into Dennis’s personal collecting habits, get ready for a broader, richer look at the business and heart behind his shop. In this follow-up, Dennis shares practical strategies for organizing singles, both in-store and at home — from glass cases to player boxes to bargain bins that invite collectors of every budget level to enjoy the hunt.

But the real gold here is in the big-picture insights. We explore:

• How collector behavior has evolved over the last 5 years

• The rising influence (and tension) of breaking culture

• What shifting licenses and industry changes may mean for shops, sellers, and collectors

• Why comp culture isn’t everything, and how value can (and should) go beyond the last sale

And in one of the most meaningful segments of the season, Dennis opens up about how his faith impacts his business — from praying with customers to offering his shop as a safe space for real conversations and real healing. This episode is a reminder that for some, a hobby shop is more than just a store — it’s a place of connection, trust, and community.

🎧 Whether you're a collector, seller, or just someone looking for a deeper take on the hobby — this episode will move you.
