My name is Joab and welcome to our shop.

I started collecting cards back in the 80's as a little kid when the MLB was still America's pastime and the Oakland A's were my favorite team. I didn't know much about chase cards back then but I did know I wanted Bo Jackson's 1990 Score b/w, baseball/football card really bad. Sadly, I never got that card.

Back then, ripping packs and trading with friends was an amazing experience. We were all naive and didn't think about Crisp corners or handling the cards. Big mistake! :)

Big jump to now but here I am 30+ years later, still ripping packs but now I have the opportunity to share my hobby with my daughters as well as annoy my wife. During one of our pack openings, one of my daughters said she was going to repackage all of her duplicates she'd collected and sell them.

That simple comment lit a spark and in Oct. 2024, Crisp Rips was born. We wanted to create a store where we could not only share our "Rips" on social media, but we could also offer products to provide the same experience to others. A one-stop shop where you could purchase everything you need to either begin your journey in this hobby or satisfy that urge to pull that chase card you've been looking for.

We're just starting out so we are small but we're looking to grow over the next year or so. Online is just the beginning... brick and mortar is our destination. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
