Your collection.
Welcome to Collectibles: by Tommy D.
A new chapter built on more than 18 years of helping customers find the right fit.
OUR STORY
A people-first approach,
with a passion for what’s next.
Collectibles: by Tommy D. was established on Labor Day 2026. Founder Tommy D. brings an associate’s degree from Fox Valley Technical College in Marketing and Digital Marketing, alongside more than 18 years of sales experience.
His career has been deeply involved in telecommunications, electronics, and AI solutions—fields where listening, explaining the options, and keeping up with changing technology matter. That same approach shapes this business: understand what a customer values, make the details clear, and help them choose with confidence.
We’re starting with collectible resales, with plans to grow into card cleaning and repair services. From an affordable single to a professionally graded centerpiece, the goal is a collection that fits you.
MODERN RESEARCH. PERSONAL ATTENTION.
Fair value starts
with good information.
We plan to use leading AI research tools to support informed, fair-market-value offers and reasonable pricing.
AI can help organize comparable sales, identify market trends, and bring relevant information together. We will pair that research with human review of the exact card, its condition, edition, grade, and recent completed sales.
Our goal is to explain the reasoning behind an offer. An asking price is not the same as a completed sale, and a purchase offer may account for selling costs and resale risk. Market estimates can change; AI does not guarantee a price or replace professional authentication.
COLLECT AT YOUR LEVEL
Professionally graded.
Options for different budgets.
Our planned selection will include authentic, professionally graded cards from multiple companies, giving collectors affordable, mid-range, and premium choices. Those price ranges describe our inventory—not a ranking of the graders. Each company uses its own standards, and the card, condition, grade, and market demand all influence value.
