Our story | Foundations of business | creation

Graden Cards LLC was started by me at 13, and recently we've been expanding a lot. Graden Cards started in April of 2023 and started mainly just selling baseball cards. As we grew and became a bigger company we started to branch out to other sports cards and after that all sports memorabilia. We plan to keep growing as much as we can and are always looking for some suggestions. When I started to collect cards it was very hard to find any sports card shops near me so I decided to start Graden Cards so everyone around the United States could get their sports memorabilia quick and easy. We are planning to open many different services to add to Graden soon. We try to be the best sports memorabilia store out there. We are based out of Madison, Wisconsin, and would love for you to be our customer.

The card that started Graden Cards was the card below. The card below is a 2017 Bowman Draft Chrome Bubba Thompson 1st auto PSA 10. This sports card of Bubba Thompson was the first card that I bought and that started the business. I pulled this card and then decided to get the card graded. The reason I got the card in the first place was for my family member. I got this card because it was her favorite player that she saw in baseball, so I decided to get this as a surprise for a present. I pulled the card from a  Bowman Baseball box and wanted to see recent listing prices for the fun of it. When I saw some of the current listings at the time I saw that some people listed it for over $100 dollars. Then I obtained the idea to start a business of finding and pulling good cards to sell. Once we started Graden we bought a couple different boxes and kept looking for good cards.
