Joe DePasquale, founder of Joe Hollywood, rose from a challenging childhood with financial and familial struggles to become a successful entrepreneur in the sports card market. With over $5 million in sales last year, DePasquale's journey began with a deep love for sports cards, a passion cultivated by his grandfather. He transitioned from a finance career to selling cards alongside his son, bridging their familial bond while thriving in a growing niche market. His dedication to empowering his children reflects his desire to provide them with opportunities he didn't have.
Eventually, I dropped out of college to take a job in finance, making $200 a week. That job felt like a bridge between where I was and where I could be.
My grandfather bought me my first pack when I was 8, and I absolutely treasured the cards even as I got older.
I started selling millions worth of sports cards. My wife suggested it was time to sell some.
My oldest son, Joe Jr., was 10 at the time. He was excited by the idea, so we started selling cards online.
