A collector who advises other collectors.
CardPeak Consulting is led by a founder whose own sports card portfolio clears six figures at acquisition cost. He works with hobby collectors, eBay sellers, estate executors, and card shops — and he never buys a collection or takes a position against the people he advises.
The founder
The read on condition, market, and timing comes from the founder's own binders.
The founder's collection is what gives him the call on whether to grade, when to list, where to consign, and what a card will actually bring at the next venue that matters. That is the same read CardPeak brings to every intake — not a generic checklist, not a SaaS playbook.
He writes the rate card himself, and he reviews the intake submissions personally. Every brief that lands at CardPeak goes back out with a concrete next step — scoped, priced, and signed off by the same person whose portfolio backs the advice.
CardPeak does not buy collections, negotiate consignment on its own behalf, or take a cut of a sale. The firm's job is to make the cards you already own worth more where it matters to you.
Portfolio & the people he works with
Six figures on his own cards. Four archetypes on the rate card.
What to grade, what to keep, how to grow the collection with intent — without a sale at the other end of every conversation.
Listing copy, photography direction, pricing windows, and store-audit fixes that move inventory faster at higher realized prices.
A one-time roadmap for inherited collections — intake, scope, venue mix, and the paperwork that goes with a clean liquidation.
Recurring B2B consulting on consignment pipeline, submission prep, and the venue mix that fits a working shop’s weekly volume.
