We're Building Something for Collectors (And We Need Your Help)

We're Building Something for Collectors (And We Need Your Help)

We Have a Secret.

And it's been keeping us up at night—in the best way possible.

For months, we've been working on something we can't wait to share with you. Something that started with a simple question: What if you could see where the market is heading before everyone else?

You know the struggle. A rookie card you've been watching suddenly spikes in price overnight. You missed the perfect selling window because you didn't know values were dropping. You're trying to decide if that player's card is a good investment, but you're guessing based on yesterday's data.

We've been there. We've lived it.

As shop owners and collectors ourselves, we've watched the market shift in real-time and wished we had better tools to make smarter decisions. Not just what something is worth today—but where it's going.

So we built one.

Introducing Hobby Hero BETA

We're not launching a finished product—we're inviting you into the process. Hobby Hero is in active beta development, and we're looking for collectors who want to help shape what this becomes.

Here's what Hobby Hero does:

📈 Predictive Pricing—See where values are likely heading, not just where they are today

Zero Day Pricing—Get accurate market data on new releases immediately, before traditional price guides catch up

📊 Trend Analysis—Spot market movements early and make informed buying and selling decisions

Note: Collection tracking features are limited in this beta phase—our focus right now is on giving you the pricing intelligence you need to make better decisions.

What We're Covering (To Start)

We're focusing on where the market moves fastest:

🏈 Football | ⚾ Baseball | 🏀 Basketball | 🏒 Hockey

Modern cards from the last 3 years—where pricing is most volatile and predictive data matters most.

Note: Collection tracking features are limited in this beta phase. Our focus is on giving you the pricing intelligence you need to make better decisions in today's fast-moving market.

Why Start Here?

Because modern sports cards are where collectors need the most help. Vintage cards have established markets and slower price movements. But modern releases? That's where fortunes are made and lost based on player performance, market hype, and timing.
We're starting focused so we can do it right—then we'll expand based on what you tell us you need most.

Why Beta?

Because we want to build this with collectors, not just for them.
We have the core features working, but we need real collectors using it, breaking it, and telling us what's missing. Your feedback will directly shape:
  • Which features we prioritize next
  • What sports/categories we add
  • How the interface works
  • What pricing sources we integrate
This is your chance to influence a tool built specifically for the collecting community.

Want Early Access?

We're assembling a beta testing group of collectors who'll get:
  • Free access during the beta period
  • Direct line to us (the builders) for feedback and feature requests
  • Special founding member pricing when we officially launch
  • Behind-the-scenes updates as we develop new features
  • A voice in what Hobby Hero becomes

Drop your email below and we'll reach out with beta access details. We're rolling out invites in waves, so early signups get first access.

Sign Up!

What's Next?

Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing:
  • How predictive pricing actually works
  • Real examples of zero-day pricing in action
  • Beta user success stories
  • Our roadmap for future features
  • Pricing plans for post-beta launch

Full Transparency

This is a beta product. That means:
  • Some features are still being refined
  • You might encounter bugs (please tell us!)
  • Things will change based on feedback
  • It's not perfect yet—but it's getting better every day
