About Us

Welcome to Cleveland Cardz. My name is Zack Cleveland, and my journey into the world of sports cards isn't just about the love of the game—it’s about community, resilience, and finding a passion that brings people together.

In 2024, I retired as a Gunnery Sergeant from the United States Marine Corps after a dedicated career that included two tours in Iraq and multiple deployments across the Middle East. Transitioning back to civilian life comes with its own set of challenges, and for me, managing PTSD was at the forefront. During that time, I rediscovered sports trading cards. What started as a familiar pastime quickly became a powerful outlet, a therapeutic space, and a way to anchor myself.

Behind Cleveland Cardz is a family effort. Supported by my beautiful wife, Krianne, and our son wonderful son, Kai, this business represents a new chapter for us. I truly love this hobby—the thrill of the rip, the history behind the cards, and the camaraderie of the community.
