Learn more about OTIA, our approach, and the people behind the relationships, deals, and collector experiences we build every day.
For more than twenty years, the principal owner of OTIA has been deeply involved in the sports card and memorabilia world, building a business around passion, trust, and long-term relationships. Decades of traveling across the country for major shows, private signings, auctions, and industry events helped create the network we rely on today, including dealers, athletes, agents, and collectors at every level. Over time, that circle has grown even wider to include actors, musicians, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and other high-profile clients throughout North America.
Sports and collectibles are not just part of what we do. They are part of who we are. You will regularly find us attending the biggest card shows, chasing premier sporting events, evaluating important collections, and staying active in the hobby at the highest level. That same energy now carries directly into our live streaming presence, where we connect with collectors in real time through live auctions, product breaks, hobby conversations, and special opportunities that bring the excitement of the industry straight to our audience. Live streaming has become a major part of how we build community, create trust, and stay connected with collectors across the country every single week.
Even when we are traveling for fun, business always seems to find its way into the schedule. That is just the nature of loving what you do. Based just outside Ann Arbor, we are proud Michigan Wolverines fans, and we are equally loyal to the Lions, Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings here in Detroit. That sports loyalty and collector mindset are woven into everything we do.
We understand how fortunate we are to work in a hobby we have loved since childhood. We never take that for granted. More than anything, we value the relationships we have built over the years, because those relationships are the true foundation of OTIA. We believe our focus on people, trust, and genuine connection is what makes us different. Our success, our reputation, and our unique position in the industry all come from the OTIA family of clients, customers, collectors, and friends who have grown with us along the way.
