Hey — that's me on the card.

I'm a Tacoma card player who got fed up with bad prices and slow shipping, so I started The Lucky Nerd to do it the way I'd want as a buyer: honest grading, fair market pricing, and cards packed like they matter.

I deal Pokémon and Magic — decks, grails, and everything between — and I'm filming the whole thing as I build it. Pull up a chair and stay a while.
