About Us
Welcome to Collecting Fever, where every card tells a story, and every collection is a journey.
Our Story
Growing up overseas my love for collecting began in the most unexpected way. As a skinny kid, I was a picky eater, and my grandmother, always concerned for my well-being, struck a deal with me: if I ate my lunch, I could open one pack of Panini soccer cards. That simple exchange sparked a lifelong passion for collecting. Each card I pulled from those packs became a cherished memory, and thus began my journey into the world of sports memorabilia.
The passion only grew stronger when, at the age of 13, I bought my first pack of basketball cards during a trip to San Francisco. That moment marked a new chapter in my collecting adventure, broadening my interests beyond soccer to include the thrill of basketball card collecting.
Chasing the Unique
From the very beginning, I was drawn to the rare and the unique. I sought out numbered cards, game-used memorabilia, game-worn items, and on-card autographs, always looking for those special items that stood out from the rest. This passion for the rare and valuable continued to grow, and in 2015, while living in Miami, I noticed a significant increase in demand for these types of collectibles. It was then that I decided to dive back into the world of selling, starting with eBay and card shows.
Why Collecting Fever?
Collecting Fever was created to help fellow collectors find those rare and unique cards that make a collection truly special. We specialize in numbered cards, game-used and game-worn memorabilia, and autographs—items that capture the essence of the sports we love. While we do carry non-numbered cards and case hits, our primary focus is on the exceptional and the hard-to-find.
Serving the Collectors' Community
Our clients are passionate collectors who appreciate the thrill of finding that perfect addition to their collection. We understand the joy and satisfaction that comes from discovering rare items, and we're here to help you on that journey. Beyond just selling, we love to engage with the collecting community through trading and purchasing collections. We actively seek out collections in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and Maryland, always on the lookout for the next great find.
What We Do Best
At Collecting Fever, we pride ourselves on fast shipping and providing an exciting experience for our customers from the moment they receive their package. Since 2011, we’ve been selling on eBay and showcasing our collection at card shows, with over 5,000 cards currently listed and a goal to reach 10,000 by mid-2025. We are committed to making every customer feel the excitement of adding a new piece to their collection.
The Fever of Collecting
We believe that every collector, in some way, catches the "fever." Once you start collecting, it’s hard to stop—you always feel that drive to find something new. Whether it's rare numbered cards, memorabilia, autographs, or game-worn items, CollectingFever.com is here to fuel your passion.
Our Belief: Buy What You Love
At Collecting Fever, we believe in buying the cards you truly love. While many enjoy joining breaks or buying repacks, I’ve personally lost money in the past from these, and I always recommend responsible buying. Collecting is about the connection you have with each card, and making mindful, thoughtful purchases will always lead to the most satisfaction.
Our Vision for the Future
This isn’t just a side business—it’s a lifelong dream. My goal is to open a physical sports card shop dedicated to singles and memorabilia, a place where collectors can come and find that next piece to fuel their fever. While I know it’s hard to make a living solely off singles and memorabilia, I’m determined to make it happen. I’m always open to collaborations and investment opportunities to bring this vision to life.
