We’re a father and son card-collecting duo — Chris & Jake — brought together by a shared love of sports, collecting, and the simple magic of ripping packs together.
Like so many collectors, our journey began at the kitchen table: sorting cards, learning players, chasing inserts, and enjoying time together. Collecting was never about money — it was about connection, memories, and passion.
Then, on a family holiday in Orlando, Florida, everything changed.
During what should have been an ordinary pack opening, we pulled the impossible:
a 1/1 SuperFractor autograph of Lamine Yamal — one of the most exciting young football talents in the world and one of the most coveted cards in the modern hobby.
For collectors, a 1/1 SuperFractor is the ultimate pull. One card. One copy. One moment.
Selling that card gave us something even bigger than the pull itself — the chance to turn a lifelong hobby into a reality.
Using the proceeds from the Yamal SuperFractor, we opened our own hobby shop in Beeston, Nottingham, creating a space for collectors of all ages to come together, rip packs, trade stories, and feel the same excitement we felt that day in Orlando.
What started as a father and son opening packs has grown into a community-driven shop built on passion, honesty, and love for the hobby.
This site isn’t just about a card.
It’s about family, belief, and how one unbelievable moment helped build something lasting — for us and for the collecting community.
