Cardzillo was founded with one simple aim, to make collecting more enjoyable, organised, and accessible. Something I’d always struggled with when collecting sports cards and stickers personally was the lack of a decent tool to help tick off what you needed to complete collections. So what began as a small passion project quickly grew into a hub for sports card collectors who wanted more than just buying and selling. We saw a gap for trustworthy resources, easy-to-use tools, and a place where collectors could feel part of a community.
Collecting is more than a hobby for us here. It’s history, passion, and connection all rolled into one. At Cardzillo, we want to empower collectors with tools, knowledge, and insights that make their journey simpler and more rewarding. Whether you’re chasing a rainbow, tracking down a 1 of 1, or just starting out, we’re here to help you every step of the way.
We’re no nonsense. We’re not driven by hype or clickbait. Instead, we prioritise honesty and transparency. From pointing out manufactured relics to questioning misleading print runs, we believe collectors deserve straightforward information. Everything we build is designed to put you the collector first. Keeping you as educated as possible on the hobby we all love.
Hello! I’m Sam, and I have been collecting sports cards and Pokémon cards since around the age of 8. My first memories of collecting come from playing Football and on the way home my Grandad would stop at the Spar shop and pick up some 2006 Fifa World Cup stickers by Panini. From there the passion grew throughout the major tournaments of my childhood.
I like many found myself itching to get back into collecting to relive the nostalgia of ripping packs and sticking in the current stars of the game. So when Euro 2020 rolled around I knew now I had adult money I had to finally complete my album and ever since then, I’ve been firmly back in the hobby.
I built Cardzillo with the intention of understanding what real collectors REALLY want. So I hope you enjoy using my website and enjoy building your collections digitally!
Whether you’ve been collecting for decades or have just opened your first pack, Cardzillo is here to support your journey. Explore our tools, read our guides, and help shape the future of the hobby with us.
