What we Won't do

Our Company, what we WON”T DO,

As any of you know who start a business you get excited over every call and the potential to grow you customer base. In the early days it was like that at Goldie and Company (Goldie was my dogs name)

Some of the calls caught me off guard, my vision for the cards were not only sports but of children who were great at music or science etc.

I thought all kids should have cards to show off their accomplishments.

A number of times I received calls to create cards for the porn industry. One caller took it as far as to tell me how much money I could make and I was stupid for turning it down.

On a personal note I will never create cards that would exploit another human being I would go back to working in a factory or janitorial before that would happen.

I do not judge what others do for a living, but in this case you are talking about someone’s child, daughter, friend, family member whatever you want to call it.

Like any business we have struggled but never will we do anything under the table or behind anyone’s back just to make money.

We are proud of the company we created and want you to feel the same way when you do business with Custom Sports Cards.

We love the family celebrations we have become a part of and appreciate each and every one of you.

What I Miss

Do you know what I miss doing? In the early days of Goldie and Company/Custom Sports Cards I use to handwrite every customer a hand written note, more than just to thank them for their order but to acknowledge the special messages I would read on birth announcements knowing someday that baby will grow up and read how their parents felt about them and how valuable and meaningful that would be. The weddings where couples remember they met, their first kiss, the simple thing is in life that should matter the most.

I’ve never thought of our product as just another trading card or something mass-produced and your card is like everyone else’s.

Each one is special, a keepsake that you kids or grandkids will someday love to read.

When all is said and done those cherished moments are what keep us together and what should matter the most.

Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your special moments.
