About TCGU

By Collectors, for Collectors

TCGU began as a personal card collection and grew into a trusted storefront for singles, sealed product, and pre-orders — built on over 20 years in the hobby. Right now our focus is the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, a game we know inside and out. But we're not stopping there: our goal is to become the household name in trading card resale.

The TCGU team
Carl
Carl
Founder & CEO

A multi-time Yu-Gi-Oh! finalist with more than 20 years of industry experience behind him. In 2013 Carl turned that love of the game toward the resale side, and he has been innovating in an industry that badly needs it ever since — working toward one goal: making TCGU the #1 reseller of single trading cards.

Greg
Greg
Operations

With over 15 years of industry experience, Greg partnered with Carl in 2016 and has been invaluable ever since. He leads operations, training, and the efficiency improvements that keep everything moving — a fundamental part of how TCGU was built.

Hani
Hani
Events & Web

A three-time Yu-Gi-Oh! champion, Hani draws on a reputation and reach in the community that few can match — the foundation our Texas Collectible Trade Shows are built on. He also built this website and actively manages it.

Chris
Chris
E-Commerce

Chris brought over 10 years of reselling experience and a business of his own when he joined the team. In the early days he handled the bulk of the e-commerce workload — today he focuses on platform management and optimization. An early investor as well, he has helped shape the trajectory of TCGU since we landed in Texas.

Lance
Lance
Finance & AI

Lance's background as a CPA and his work across other ventures brought us perspective we didn't have — and pushed us to think in new ways. He helps run the business day to day while building out our AI infrastructure and shaping where it takes us next.
