Coin and Card Auctions Director
Numismatics and Sports Trading Cards are similar in many respects and developed into significant niche markets largely because of technologies. With the world wide web came a marketplace that now generates in excess of $4 billion in annual revenues. Third party grading was a market stabilizer that fueled industry growth as it provided a means to assign grade and value but at the same time it could be better. Technology exists today that is astonishing and standards are well defined. I am very excited to take an active role in applying the most amazing science and technologies to an industry that itself is ancient.

We are excited for the future and most of all it means numismatics and sports trading card as "hobbies" with applied technologies will evolve just as Henry Ford used technology to forever change the horse and buggy era into lifestyles that made a difference.

Director and Chief Operating Officer
Chief Operating Officer is a challenging and rewarding opportunity. The most important part of my position with the company is you, the consumer. Its the bottom line that matters but in this case its not the corporate bottom line. The growth of the numismatics and sports trading card industries depends 100% on consumers. Our marketing platform provides consumers savings from 58% to 80% Why would we as a company do this? Because you as the consumer are able to make additional capital investment into the market if your profit margins are higher. You, the consumer are more likely to stay engaged in a market that produces real revenues. I am a consumer as well and hope to see you here on our marketing platform.
