Built for the Hobby is a new series on Stacking Slabs where we explore the intersection of technology and sports cards. In the debut episode, Brett sits down with Scott Lock, CEO and Co-Founder of InfernoRed Technology, to discuss why tech matters in the hobby right now.

Scott and his team have built software for some of the biggest names in the space including Upper Deck, Collectors, COMC, and dcsports87. In this conversation, they talk about:

• How the hobby compares to other industries when it comes to tech adoption
• Why innovation has accelerated over the past few years
• Case studies like dcsports87 and the role technology plays in improving collector experiences
• The future of AI, marketplaces, and live selling in cards
• Why pairing domain expertise with technical know-how is a winning formula

If you’ve ever wondered where technology fits in the sports card hobby and how it might shape your collecting experience, this is the episode to start with.
