My name is Grant I am the newest member to the cardvault8 team. Just like anyone else I loved to collect my favorite players when I was younger. A few years ago I had all my cards from my childhood sitting around so I decided to start on eBay. Me and my dad would do a couple listings a day and make a sale every so often. We slowly started scaling larger and larger going to card shows and shops to purchase inventory. Until we reached 1000 listings and thousands of dollars in sales. Once we got to this goal of 1000 listing I realized how much time and effort I was putting in to this. It completely unmotivated me and I was going to wait and get a normal job. This was until we discovered whatnot. Whatnot brings all the joy to cards that eBay lacks. We started out with our first couple of streams just taking requests and giving people great deals. We sold mainly vintage cards that we had bought from a collection of a neighbor. These shows were doing great and we were having a great time but then we sold through everything we had. I thought that we would have the same success with modern cards that we did with vintage but I was wrong. I didn't understand how I had the same cards as the big streams and not making any sales. I averaged 3 viewers and maybe 5 sales a stream. Along with this I didn't know the right ways to stream so I was throwing money down the drain on promotion when I didn't even know what I was doing. After having a stream where I lost $150 I quit. Then everything changed for me one afternoon. Jack sent me a text asking about the cards that I had. He offered to let me bring them to his stream the next morning. I had watched jack's streams a couple of times and they always gave me hope for what whatnot could be. This was my perfect opportunity to see what this vision could become. And it went better than all of us expected. We had one of our best streams every that day. I found that the platform or the viewers wasn't the problem. It was how the streams were run. Now we are trying to share these ideas with the community. I am thankful for Jack and Gerry for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the card vault academy. I hope we will be able to build a great community and further expand the platform of whatnot.

What’s up, I’m Jack. Im the co-founder of CVA and I am the Whatnot Brains behind this community I started my Whatnot business with $250 to my name and a dream. No team. No shortcuts. Just reps, mistakes, and obsession. In just a few months, I grew it to 30,000+ followers and $125,000+ in sales. Not because of luck — but because of systems, discipline, and understanding how Whatnot actually works. I built this Skool to break down those exact systems and show anyone — no matter their starting point or situation — how to build the same kind of success. If you’re driven and serious about this, you’re in the right place. Let’s build.

What’s up, I’m Max. I am one of the Co-Owners of thecardvault8 on Whatnot. 7 months ago I had just gotten back into sports cards after a few kids at school had started talking about them. It brought me back to when I was a kid and had binders full of baseball cards. This brought me down a path where I realized I could start flipping them and maybe make a little profit After selling some of my collection, I purchased cards on eBay and at card shows to flip, but had no success doing so. When I was at a card show with Jack, he introduced the idea of possibly joining him and a couple of other friends to start selling cards on Whatnot. This was a brand new concept to me and I had never heard of Whatnot before, but I gave it a shot. Our first stream I lost over 200$ and felt miserable. I almost gave up on the idea all together. That night I went on Whatnot and watched one big streamer with 500 viewers and noticed the insane prices that the same cards we were selling that day were going for in his stream. I didn’t know how we could get there yet, but that’s when realized there is some serious money to be made doing this streaming thing. This is when we sat down and understood we had to learn how to make smarter purchases and how to grow the account. Let’s just say after we figured it out, it was barbecue chicken from there. 7 months down the road and we have 30k+ followers on Whatnot and over 100k+ sold and not to mention and entire room in my house that we use only for the purpose of streaming. It is nothing I could have ever imagined when I had first started. Now Jack and Gerry have given me the opportunity to be a part of and help them grow Card Vault academy. This is our way of giving back to the community and giving you guys the ability to learn and start making some serious bread on Whatnot. Comment if you want to reach out or have any questions.
