Where it started
Cards were never a side interest for Alan and Matt. They were the thing the two of them did together: opening packs, building sets, comparing stats. The kind of hobby that eats an evening without either of you noticing.
How a shared hobby turned into Father Son Card Connection.
Nothing about this was a business plan at first. Alan and Matt just liked the same thing, for long enough that it eventually became one.
Cards were never a side interest for Alan and Matt. They were the thing the two of them did together: opening packs, building sets, comparing stats. The kind of hobby that eats an evening without either of you noticing.
Somewhere in there it turned into a dream they both said out loud: “Let’s run a sports card business.” It took twenty years to get there. Father Son Card Connection is that dream, put into practice.
We run primarily online. Baseball, basketball, football and hockey move through the eBay store, with over 12,000 items sold at 100% positive feedback. There's no walk-in storefront, but you can find us in person at card shows around Fort Wayne.
We buy directly from collectors, vintage and modern, single cards and full collections, and we consign for people who'd rather list with us than sell outright.
Two people. That's the whole company, which is also why you always know who you're talking to.
Alan absolutely loves dealing with vintage cards. He's passionate about connecting with people and giving everyone a great experience.
Matt has a genuine desire to help and serve others in the sports card business, and he enjoys dealing with cards of all eras.
Pricing gets checked against real, recent sales, and we give you honest answers, whether we're buying from you or selling to you.
We try to do right by people the same way we'd want to be treated. If something isn't right with an order, tell us. We'll make it right.
A single card gets the same attention as a large collection. If you're new to the hobby, ask us anything.
The full inventory is on eBay, updated every week. And if you've got a collection you're thinking about moving, tell us what's in it. You'll hear back within 72 hours.
