Every once in a while, a project comes through the doors at Reclaim Customs that forces us to ask a question we love: “Can we actually pull this off?” This was definitely one of those projects. Our client came to us with an incredible collection of 21 player autographs from the 2022 MLB All-Star Game and wanted us to transform them into something worthy of the names represented. But the story of how those autographs survived in the first place might be just as incredible as t

What happens when you bring together the perspective of a former NFL All-Pro and the perspective of a collector, creator and entrepreneur? That’s part of the idea behind the new Reclaim CoLab Podcast, hosted by Herman Moore and Reclaim Customs founder Eric Wagenmaker. WATCH EPISODE 1: THE STATE OF THE CARD-COLLECTING HOBBY A Different Kind of Hobby Conversation Reclaim CoLab was created around the idea that memorabilia can be more than something we simply collect. Behind a je

For years, Reclaim Customs has been built around a simple idea: memorabilia becomes more meaningful when there is a story behind it. Now, we're taking that idea somewhere new. We're excited to officially introduce Reclaim CoLab, a new company created through the partnership between Reclaim Customs founder Eric Wagenmaker and Detroit Lions legend Herman Moore. But while an athlete and a collector helped create the concept, Reclaim CoLab isn't just for athletes. The model we're

There are certain projects that mean more to me than others. I've been fortunate to work with some incredible pieces of sports history through Reclaim Customs. I've held autographs from legends. I've cut into game-used memorabilia. I've had the opportunity to create pieces around athletes and moments that I grew up watching. But this one was different. This was Kobe. More specifically, this was Kobe before he became KOBE. The autograph we were entrusted with for this project

There is something uniquely nerve-racking about taking a pair of scissors to an authentic autograph from someone like Kobe Bryant, Babe Ruth, Paul McCartney, Madonna or Bobby Orr. But that's also where some of our favorite projects at Reclaim Customs begin. In our latest behind-the-scenes video, we're opening up the shop and showing the process of turning authentic signatures from some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment into one-of-a-kind cut autograph trading c

There are certain projects that come through our doors that we know we will remember forever. This is one of them. Since founding Reclaim Customs in 2021, we've had the privilege of creating one-of-one pieces featuring some incredible names, autographs, and pieces of memorabilia. But what we were given the opportunity to create with a pair of Babe Ruth's photo-matched, game-used New York Yankees pants is unlike anything we have done before. And now, the marquee piece from the

There are certain days you know you'll remember before they're even over. August 3, 2026 was one of those days. We had the opportunity to spend the day on Lake Michigan with Detroit Lions legends Herman Moore and Scott Mitchell for a fishing charter that brought together football, fishing, family, friends, and a whole lot of laughs. We captured the experience from beginning to end, and I'm excited to finally share the full story in a new video on our YouTube channel. [WATCH:

There are projects that come through the door that you know are special. Then there are projects that make you stop for a second and think, How in the world did we get here? THIS was one of those projects. Luke Combs recently revealed the cities for his 2027 tour in a way that felt very familiar to anyone who loves the trading card hobby. Sitting in front of a custom briefcase, Luke opened it up and began revealing one card at a time, almost like a collector ripping into a ca

There are certain projects that feel different from the moment they begin. This was one of them. We recently had the opportunity to create a one-of-one jumbo custom Barry Sanders piece for the PSA Set Registry Awards banquet. On its own, that would have made this a pretty special project for us. But where this piece ultimately ended up, and who ended up holding it, turned the entire experience into something we will never forget. And for this project, we brought the cameras a

👉 Watch the full behind-the-scenes video here:https://youtu.be/ooIHUUFtlS8?si=_Dl8eXOlm_BoyUCf Last week, as we prepared for the National Sports Collectors Convention, we hinted that we had been working on something special for this year's PSA Set Registry Awards. Today, we're excited to finally pull back the curtain on the first of two one-of-a-kind awards we had the privilege of creating. This custom Miguel Cabrera jumbo card was commissioned by PSA to honor one of the win

Every year, there are a handful of dates that get circled on my calendar. For anyone involved in the hobby, The National Sports Collectors Convention is one of those dates. This year marks my fifth National representing Reclaim Customs, and I can honestly say the excitement hasn't worn off. Every year brings new conversations, new opportunities, and new memories, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this year's show has in store. One of my favorite parts of attending the Na

Some moments in sports deserve more than a box score. They deserve to be remembered. Stephen Curry's performance against France in the gold medal game at the 2024 Paris Olympics wasn't just another championship performance. It was one of those rare moments where the greatest shooter the game has ever seen reminded the entire world exactly why he's in that conversation. This custom Reclaim Customs card was built to preserve that memory. When the World Needed a Hero, Stephen Cu

Some projects are built around a player. Others are built around a moment in time. This custom Mickey Mantle collectible celebrates both. At the heart of the piece is an authentic Mickey Mantle cut autograph, accompanied by three authentic relics harvested from genuine Leaf Trading Cards and an original ticket stub from Game 3 of the 1962 World Series. Together, they tell the story of one of baseball's most celebrated eras and one of the greatest Fall Classics ever played. Th

Reclaim CoLab is the result of a shared vision between Reclaim Customs and NFL legend Herman Moore. Together, we believe the greatest collectibles are not defined by their rarity alone. They are defined by the stories they preserve, the people they honor, and the legacy they leave behind. Reclaim CoLab exists at the intersection of three powerful worlds. Athlete. Collector. Entrepreneurship. When those worlds collide, something remarkable happens. Experience, passion, creativ

If you've spent any amount of time in the custom card world, you've probably seen the comment: "Those are fake cards." It's one of the most common criticisms directed at custom card makers, and unfortunately, it's usually rooted in a misunderstanding of what custom cards actually are. The truth is simple: A fake card and a custom card are not the same thing. In fact, they are often complete opposites. What Is a Fake Card? A fake card, also known as a counterfeit, is created w

This is one of those stories that almost doesn’t feel real when I look back on it. We actually documented the entire experience as it was happening, so if you’d rather watch it play out in real time, you can do that here: FULL VIDEO But for me, it started the way a lot of meaningful things in my life seem to start. Not with a grand plan, but with a quiet moment at home and a comment from my wife. Aimee was the first to notice it. Luke Combs had launched his own card collectin

We loaded up and made the drive down to West Lafayette with a clear goal in mind. Spend time with one of college basketball’s best point guards in NCAA history and deliver something truly personal. What unfolded at Mackey Arena exceeded every expectation we had. There is something special about stepping into Mackey. The history, the energy, the echoes of past games all seem to live in the walls. It felt only fitting that our time with Purdue point guard Braden Smith took pla

Some days in this hobby feel routine. Others feel like something out of a childhood dream. The day Herman Moore came over to the Cardistry Cave was the latter. For anyone who grew up watching football in the 90s, Herman Moore was larger than life. A Detroit Lions legend. A four-time Pro Bowler and three-time First-Team All-Pro. The kind of player you remember not just for the stats, but for how he made you feel watching the game. So when we started talking about him coming ov

Every once in a while, an email crosses your desk that reminds you just how special this hobby really is. Earlier this year, we were approached by a woman who had inherited a full pair of game-used Babe Ruth Yankees pants from her father. Not a replica. Not a swatch from a trading card. The real thing. The whole enchilada from the Sultan of Swat, the King of Crash, The Colossus of Clout... The Colossus of Clout! Shut up, Tommy. Items like this are not just collectibles. They

There is a difference between doing a project for someone and building something with them. Our affiliate relationships are not one-off autograph signings or temporary collaborations. They are long-term relationships with high-level athletes, teams, agencies, and organizations who trust us to help tell their story through meaningful collectibles. Athletes like Herman Moore , Evan Longoria , Blake Grupe , and Manager Pat Murphy are not just names attached to projects. They re
