During his childhood, Austin collected Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, like many others did. However, his interest in collecting waned in 2007. In late 2016, the nostalgic spark of Pokémon XY Evolutions rekindled Austin's passion for collecting. From 2016 to 2024, Austin expanded his Pokémon card collection and developed an interest in other TCGs such as One Piece and Dragon Ball.

 

In early 2024, Austin decided to turn his collecting hobby into a business. He dreams of growing it into a brick-and-mortar store for the local community and eventually becoming an official distributor of TCG products for all the local game stores (LGS).

 

Austin has a background in project management for construction projects and aims to apply his skills to his business.

Raeko Trading LLC, also known as Raeko TCG, is just the beginning of his dream. Austin wishes to grow with the community and maintain his passion for collecting and owning a business.
