At the heart of our business is a simple truth: this is a company built by a collector, for collectors.

After spending 11 years in the corporate world, our founder Tom decided it was time to follow a lifelong passion—trading cards. What started in childhood with Pokémon cards in the early 2000s and football (soccer) sticker albums quickly grew into a love of collecting that never quite went away.

Tom’s journey came full circle during the Pokémon XY era, where his passion for the hobby reignited. A trip to Minnesota in 2017 sparked something new—an introduction to baseball cards. That single spark turned into a fire, leading him deeper into the world of American sports cards and expanding his horizons beyond what he ever imagined.

Today, Tom’s collection spans across Pokémon, basketball, soccer, NFL, baseball, NHL, One Piece, and Disney Lorcana—with an open heart (and binder space) for whatever new trading card games may capture his imagination in the future.

This business exists because Tom knows what it’s like to be on the other side of the table: the excitement of ripping open packs, the thrill of chasing a grail card, and the joy of building collections that tell a personal story. Every decision here is made with collectors in mind, because at the end of the day—that’s who we are.

Welcome to our community. Whether you’re chasing your first Charizard, the next rookie card, or a brand-new TCG, we’re here to share the journey with you.
