Cars. Pokémon. A considered approach to what comes next.
I have hands-on experience curating and selling cars and Pokémon cards. I help collectors organize what they own, make informed additions, and prepare the right pieces for sale.

TWO INTERESTS. THE SAME ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
Built around the collection you have.
01 / POKÉMON
From the binder to the bigger picture.
Raw cards, graded cards, sealed product, and complete or developing collections. Whether you want to sell selected pieces or give the whole collection a direction, the plan starts with what you own and what matters to you.
Catalog cards, variants, grades, and sealed products.
Research recent comparable sales and realistic price ranges.
Assess grading costs against potential resale benefit.
Plan individual listings or sensible lots, with approved asking prices.
Prepare listings, coordinate inquiries, and document completed sales.
Collection research, documentation, presentation, and sale coordination for enthusiast and collector vehicles. Build a useful record of each car and a considered plan for keeping, improving, or selling it.
Organize vehicle details, history, service records, and provenance.
Research comparable sales and suitable selling channels.
Plan photography, presentation, and a listing narrative.
Coordinate owner-approved inspections, detailing, or specialist work.
Prepare the collection for an owner-led sale or a licensed selling provider.
Vehicle sale agreements, buyer funds, and title transfers are handled by the owner or an appropriately licensed selling provider. Any work requiring a license is assigned to a qualified provider before listing.
SELECTED EXPERIENCE / 2021
One collection. A different direction.
In 2021, I helped a client find a Porsche Carrera GT for $1.1 million and sold his Lamborghini for $450,000. It’s an example of the sourcing and selling experience I bring to collection work.
A past client engagement. The published service rates below apply to new engagements.
PORSCHE CARRERA GT / SOURCING
$1.1 million
Helped a client find the car at this price.
LAMBORGHINI / COMPLETED SALE
$450,000
Sold the client’s Lamborghini in the same year.
KEEP. REFINE. GROW.
Collect with a direction. Give value a better foundation.
Good curation considers quality, condition, provenance, demand, and the cost of every decision. I help you identify what to keep, what to improve, what to add, and what may be ready to move on.
The aim is a stronger, better documented collection with improved resale potential. Market prices, grades, and appreciation are never guaranteed.
An organized record of what you own, its condition, cost basis where known, and supporting documents.
A realistic market view
Dated comparable sales, estimated selling ranges, and expected costs. Estimates are market research, not certified appraisals.
A focused acquisition plan
A shortlist built around your interests, budget, quality criteria, and gaps in the collection. Every purchase needs your approval.
An ongoing review
Inventory updates, changes in market context, and clear recommendations to keep, improve, acquire, or sell.
PUBLISHED FEES / USD
Know the cost before you commit.
No upfront listing fee, no hidden minimum commission, and no percentage charged on an unsold collection. The initial conversation is free.
POKÉMON SALES
5%
Of the completed sale price.
One rate for an individually sold item or an agreed collection lot. Listing preparation and sale coordination are included. Lower-value cards can be grouped into approved lots.
Sales rates are BDC fees. Marketplace, payment-processing, dealer, auction, and other approved outside charges are additional. Every charge is agreed in advance and itemized at cost.
Prefer a one-time project?
Cataloging, a collection review, or a curation plan is $75/hour, with the scope and a maximum budget agreed in writing first.
Commission basis: the actual item or lot sale price, excluding sales tax and buyer-paid shipping. Your take-home amount is the sale price minus the BDC fee and approved seller-paid outside costs, after any buyer reimbursements.
Outside costs: marketplace, payment-processing, auction, dealer, grading, inspection, transport, shipping, insurance, and other third-party charges are separate. Applicable rates or budgets must be approved before a listing or expense; actual charges are itemized at cost, with no BDC markup.
No double billing: work already included in a sales engagement is not also billed hourly. Management does not authorize a sale; selling services require their own agreed scope.
Your control: asking prices, minimum acceptable prices, purchases, and expenses need your approval. Any referral compensation or other payment from a selling provider is disclosed before you choose that route.
Payment and returns: a sales fee is earned only on a completed sale. The written agreement sets the selling channel, custody arrangements, cancellation terms, return or dispute handling, and payout timing. Reversed sales have the related BDC commission reversed; any nonrefundable outside costs remain itemized.
Management time: the monthly plan includes two hours; unused time expires at the end of that month. Extra hours need approval. There is no charge based on your collection’s estimated value.
SEE THE NUMBERS
What would you take home?
Enter an expected sale price and all approved outside costs. The estimate separates the BDC fee from the amount left for you.
For one completed sale or an agreed lot. Buyer-paid tax and shipping are excluded. This is a planning estimate; actual proceeds depend on the final sale and approved charges.
Total seller-paid fees and approved charges, after buyer reimbursements. These are additional to the BDC fee; exclude shipping already covered by the buyer.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO A CLEAR NEXT STEP
A process you can follow.
01
Tell me what you have.
Share the collection type, approximate size, location, and your goal. A rough list is enough to start.
02
Agree on the plan.
Receive a written scope, fees, approved spending limits, and any handling or selling arrangements before work begins.
03
Review the decisions.
You approve acquisitions, prices, selling channels, and outside costs. Recommendations come with the reasoning behind them.
04
Keep a clear record.
Get the agreed inventory or plan, progress updates, and itemized statements for completed sales.
BEFORE WE START
A few useful details.
Can you manage a collection I want to keep?
Yes. Collection management and curation can stand alone. You can work on organization, documentation, acquisition planning, and market awareness without putting anything up for sale.
Can you help make my collection worth more?
That is the goal of thoughtful curation: better condition awareness, stronger documentation, selective additions, sensible grading or preparation, and a suitable selling channel. The recommendation must make sense after its costs. An increase in value or a particular sale result cannot be guaranteed.
Do I need to hand over my collection?
No transfer is required for the initial review. If an engagement needs physical handling, storage, shipping, or a specialist, custody, insurance responsibilities, and costs are agreed in writing beforehand. The collection remains yours until an authorized sale is completed.
What if something does not sell?
There is no sales commission on an unsold item. Any separate management work and previously approved outside expenses still follow the written agreement. We can review the price, revise the selling plan, or end the listing under the agreed terms.
LET’S START WITH WHAT YOU OWN.
A collection deserves a plan.
