OVERVIEW:Today’s guest has combined his passion for sports and trading cards with his graphic design background to carve out a unique lane as a full-time custom card artist.A professional designer since 2008, he first dipped his toes into custom cards in 2021 when he created personalized pieces for his two sons—complete with game-used swatches from their soccer jerseys. What started as a fun family project quickly evolved into something much bigger. The cards didn’t just look cool—they meant something, and that emotional connection sparked a creative journey that hasn’t slowed down since.He now creates beautiful mini masterpieces, crafting everything from custom one-of-ones for pro athletes, sentimental keepsakes for families, movie and pop culture relics, and even cards of pets with swatches from their collars. For him, the sky is truly the limit when it comes to storytelling through card art.You can find his incredible work on social media @reclaimcustoms or visit reclaimcards.comI’m honored to welcome collector, designer, and custom card artist Eric Wagenmaker to the show!GENERAL INFO:The ultimate podcast where collecting passion and business collide!Let's face it, we all want to make money by doing something we love.
