Last Time Ago LLC dba Ballcard Genius

You know card collecting is your happy place when, no matter what’s going on in life; how hard your day is, how much you have on your plate, etc., that nothing replaces the joy felt in the presence of wax and cardboard.

That feeling brought on by the mere sight of anything card-related—binders, penny sleeves, shoe boxes. It’s hard to explain to others, right?

It all stems from growing up as a card hunter, surfing flea markets and garage sales for cardboard while tagging along with my dad who was looking for art and antiques.

Now, Ballcard Genius is a business born from that feeling, and now – through this site – out to ignite the same experiences in newcomers, while helping to keep it alive in those who have been around cards for a while.
