The Popularity of Collecting Rare Trading Cards is Fueling a Lucrative Market Opportunity –Attracting both the “Collector Culture”, and High-Net-Worth Individuals (“HNWIs”)
Sports trading cards are enjoying something of a renaissance, commanding greater value than ever before and giving rise to a level of excitement not seen since the last golden age in the 1990s.
There is a growing recognition of card collectibles as a viable alternative investment asset class by sophisticated investors. In addition, there has been increasing participation and wealth allocation to card collectibles as the total HNWIs continues to grow.
“Most card shops are like Blockbuster Video, we’re building Netflix. We have to stay more technologically advanced, client service oriented and extremely efficient.”

Dan Fleyshman is the youngest founder of a publicly traded company in history. At the age of 23, after selling $15M of clothing in six department store chains and surpassing expectations with his $9.5M licensing deal with STARTER apparel, Dan launched the “Who’s Your Daddy” energy drink into 55,000 retail stores and military bases. He later went on to launch Victory Poker which became one of the top 5 poker brands internationally.
“Since we launched, the numbers have been through the roof. Our break business is just through the moon. It’s insane. I can’t even keep up. There are people hired just to find wax. What’s happening over there is just phenomenal.”
“We have the “cool factor that makes the sneakerheads come here; social media influencers and rappers will jump on live breaks. People feel comfortable sending us their cards for PSA group submissions.”

Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Issuance; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.
Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.
To calculate your net worth, add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.
There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get involved typically means there is more risk present.
The Common Stock ("Shares") of Cards and Coffee, LLC. is not publicly traded, meaning the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: the company gets acquired by another company or the company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In these instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. If the value of our company grows, you have a higher potential of making a profit on your investment during one of these exits. However, sometimes there will not be any return due to business failure.
Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions. Exceptions to limitations on selling shares during the one-year lockup period:
