A Collector Just Like You
Hi, I’m Tommy — the fan behind Tommy’s Trading Post. I've always been an avid Star Wars fan since I can remember. From going to Episode 3 with my dad (and having him cover my eyes when Anakin burns) to setting alarms to watch shows, it's in my blood!
Back in 2024, I was looking to find an outlet outside of work. I wanted to continue to dive deeper into my love of Star Wars and thought about some of the cards I had as a kid.
Getting back into it, I started with vintage cards, mainly the 1977 Topps cards but with all the new shows and movies that have come out the past few years, I’ve also expanded into more modern cards.
I am truly a collector just like you.
Why I started Tommy’s Trading Post
Grow My Personal Collection
I can’t lie, growing my own collection is a huge part of what I do. Like I mentioned, it started with vintage cards, specifically the 1977 Luke Skywalker card, but I’ve started to expand my collection with modern cards due to my favorite charter being Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Connect with other Star Wars Fans
I knew that Star Wars was popular but not to the extent that it truly is. Growing up in a small town, I was really the only one that was a dedicated fan out of my friends and family. The amount of people I’ve been able to connect with that are enthusiasts just like myself has been a reward I didn’t expect.
Help Others Grow Their Collection
My favorite thing is getting a message or a review about how someone was able to complete a set or find a card they’ve looked everywhere for. I do my best to keep prices low so that anyone looking for cards can get them without feeling like it’s a massive investment.
