Meet the SlabDADDY's
Tim 'The Collector' Short
I'm Tim Short — a lifelong Pokémon fan turned into slab-slinging entrepreneur. What began as a kid trading cards on the playground has evolved into a full-blown passion for collecting and sharing the magic of graded Pokémon cards. Every slab I sell carries a piece of that childhood wonder, a spark of nostalgia that never left me. This business isn't just about cards — it's about connection, memories, and doing what I love every single day. With the support of my amazing wife Danielle and our four future Pokémon Masters — Elijah, Skylar, Hadley, and Wyatte — I'm proud to turn my love for the hobby into something real, meaningful, and just plain fun.
Steve 'OG Trainer' Eilers
I am Steve - a proud dad of three and a lifelong Pokémon fanatic who's been catching 'em all for over 30 years. What started as a childhood obsession in the '90s—trading cards on the playground, battling friends after school, and flipping rare holos for pocket change—quickly became my first taste of entrepreneurship. Now, with decades of collecting under my belt, I bring that same energy, nostalgia, and love for the game to every pack I open and every card I sell. For me, Pokémon isn't just a hobby—it's a family tradition and a full-blown adventure that never gets old.
Zach 'Baby Daddy' Sammon
I'm Zach! — the newest to the hobby and proof that it's never too late to catch the bug. One random pack, one unexpected hit, and suddenly I understood what all the hype was about. Now I'm all in. I handle the content and creative side of things, bringing a fresh set of eyes to the hobby and showing that you don't need 30 years of collecting under your belt to appreciate a clean slab. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just ripping your first pack, I'm right there with you. Let's chase some cards.
