SlabStox, a family-run business, fuels the love for sports cards by engaging with collectors through live breaks, and delivering excellent customer service and education.
I take immense pride in our Wisconsin-based Real Sportscards team. For Fanatics Live, the breaking will be carried out by Russ Ewert and myself. Russ, a lifelong Brewers and Packers collector, enjoys this hobby alongside his wife, Krista, and their three boys. As a lifelong collector of the Cubs and Bears, my wife, Michelle, and I share this passion with our four children.
Our dedicated sorting/shipping team, comprised of Nick, Kelly, Jay, and Jared, excel in their industry role, ensuring all packages are dispatched promptly, with every single card carefully shipped in a box. We look forward to continuing to serve the collector community through our work with Fanatics Live.
Back in 2016, my wife and I were expecting our fourth child, Malix, whom we discovered pre-birth would likely be born with Down Syndrome and a significant heart defect. Preparing for an extended hospital stay and multiple surgeries for our baby, my wife had to take a leave from work. To support our family, I began to break sports cards as a secondary job. As they say, the rest is history. Today, Malix is a thriving 7-year-old who, despite having Down Syndrome, never lets anything limit him.
An unforgettable moment for me was pulling a 2018 Allen & Ginter, Champ Pederson Auto. At the time, Malix was not even 2 years old. Seeing Champ Pederson, who also has Down Syndrome, have autos in Ginter completely transformed my perspective as Malix's father. It's possibly the only time I've cried from pulling a card, which I then bought from the collector and now cherish as a part of my personal collection.
