Storage Wars star Rene Nezhoda joins Ryan Alford live from The National to talk about his journey from reality television to sports cards and building Bargain Hunter Breaks.

He also discusses the rapid growth of his breaking business, the $3 million Ohtani pull, rare sealed packs, collectors vs. investors, TCG, and why he believes the collectibles industry hasn't come close to reaching its potential.
