Collecting and Connecting

by Candace Lagerhausen

As a child, James Ferree enjoyed collecting and trading sports cards. In the last year, he rediscovered his love for trading cards, and began collecting again, and connecting with old friends. James soon discovered that he had a passion for not just trading cards, but for the shows he was attending. “It was going to the shows that I found my love for the shows”, James said. He decided to use this passion to turn his childhood hobby into a business. His company, Sports Wax Promotions, hosts and promotes events for sports trading cards, memorabilia, and collectibles.
