About Me

Hey there! My name is Chris and Hutto Hobby is my little passion project. If you’ve stumbled across my site and have no clue who I am, I figured an introduction was in order!

For as long as I can remember, my dad collected things, but trading cards were something we shared a love for. We would go look for cards at Target on Saturday mornings and I spent plenty of weekends helping him with his table at Bill and Sally’s Collector’s Expo that was held at the Palmer Events Center in Austin throughout the 90s.

I started by chasing Barry Sanders cards and that binder quickly became one of my most prized possessions. As I got older, my collection expanded and I started dabbling in Magic the Gathering. I didn’t play often, most of my friends weren’t into it, but I loved the creatures and artwork, so I kept collecting.

Fast forward a few years and now I’m a father of two. My collection has changed again, and these days I mainly focus on Lorcana. Our family loves Disney, and we love playing games together, so it was a natural fit. Playing Lorcana with my kids is easily one of the highlights of my time as a dad.

So why buy from me? While Hutto Hobby is a new direction for me, I’ve been in the hobby scene for years. I previously sold under “Chris Opens Stuff” and “The Card Protectors”, where I operated standalone websites and regularly set up at San Antonio card shows. I’ve also been an eBay seller for the past four years, earning 5,000+ positive feedback along the way.

My goal is to bring the same level of service and experience to Hutto Hobby. Long-term, I hope to open a physical store, where I can stock even more products and create a true community space: a place for game nights, trade nights, and connecting with fellow collectors.

So welcome to Hutto Hobby. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out via the contact page, I’m happy to help.
