Teko's Cards

As an active-duty U.S. Army veteran, I continue to serve while pursuing my passion for trading cards. I first got into Magic: The Gathering back in 1997, and a few years later, I started collecting Pokémon cards as well. These hobbies gave me a sense of excitement and connection, and I loved the strategy, artwork, and community that came with them.

​

When I joined the military, I had to put my collecting on hold for a while. Serving my country took priority, and during those years, I didn’t have much time to focus on hobbies. But after I completed my service, I found my way back into the world of trading cards. I was welcomed by a passionate and friendly community of fellow collectors, which made it easy to dive back in.

​

In 2022, I began selling parts of my personal collection on TCGPlayer and Ebay, just to see where it might lead. That experience reignited my love for the hobby and showed me there was real potential to turn my passion into something more. With encouragement from the community and a growing interest in the business side of things, I decided to take the leap and start my own trading card business.
