Our Playbook
Our Story
Welcome to Collectors Playbook, where passion meets innovation in the world of sports cards! We’re Matt and Brandon, two fraternity brothers whose shared love for sports and collectibles transformed into America’s top-rated sports card business.
How It Began
Our journey started at Rider University, where we first crossed paths in a crowded lecture hall, bonding over our mutual admiration for sports. Late-night study sessions turned into endless debates about our favorite teams and players. Before long, we found ourselves diving into the exhilarating world of sports cards. We spent hours rummaging through local card shops, trading, and building our collections. It was during these moments that the spark for our future business was ignited.
Turning Passion Into Business
After graduation, we realized that our passion could evolve into something bigger. In 2020, we decided to take the leap and launch Collectors Playbook. Our mission was simple: to create a welcoming space for collectors of all ages and experience levels. We wanted to not only sell cards but also foster a community where enthusiasts could connect, share stories, and grow their collections. Just like we did in the "old" college days.
Our Commitment
Through dedication and a shared vision, we quickly gained traction in the industry. Our commitment to quality, authenticity, and exceptional customer service earned us a loyal following. We’ve proudly built a platform that offers a curated selection of rare and sought-after cards, alongside our blog, the Cardboard Report, for collectors to enhance their knowledge and skills.
Supporting Our Community
But we didn’t stop there. We believe that every collector’s journey is unique, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re looking for that elusive rookie card, want to learn about grading, or just need some advice on starting your collection, we’ve got your back.
Join Us on This Journey
As we continue to grow, we remain grounded in the values that brought us together: friendship, integrity, and a genuine passion for sports. We invite you to join us on this exciting adventure. Together, let’s celebrate the thrill of collecting and the memories that sports bring to our lives!
Thank you for being a part of our story. Here’s to many more years of collecting, sharing, and making unforgettable memories together!
