Our Mission
Our mission is to provide collectors and enthusiasts with a unique and fulfilling experience through the world of sports cards and memorabilia.

At Rippin’ Rookies, we strive to create an environment that fosters this sense of community and passion for the hobby. We will achieve this by offering a carefully curated selection of high-quality cards and collectibles, providing excellent customer service, and creating a welcoming space where collectors can gather, share stories, and find their next prized possession.
We are committed to being a trustworthy and reliable source for collectors, offering fair prices and honest assessments of items. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to pursue their collecting passions, regardless of their budget or level of expertise.
Ultimately, our goal is to inspire a love of collecting and help collectors build meaningful collections that reflect their unique personalities and interests. We are excited to share our passion for sports cards and memorabilia with our customers and look forward to helping them discover the joy of collecting.

Josh is a passionate collector of sports cards and memorabilia. With over three decades of experience in the hobby, Josh has seen it all. He remembers tagging along with his mother at card shows over the Midwest in the mid-80s, and he has been hooked ever since.
Despite a lull in his interest during the 2000s and early 2010s, Josh rediscovered his love for the hobby in 2017. Since then, he has immersed himself in the world of cards and has made countless new connections and friends through his collection.
To share his love for cards and collectibles with others, Josh has partnered with his friend Travis to open a card and collectable business. He believes that what you collect defines who you are and that the value of a collection is in its personal meaning, rather than its monetary worth.
With his wealth of experience and passion for the hobby, Josh is sure to be a valuable asset to any collector or enthusiast looking to share in the joy of collecting.
