There is no shortage of passion in Jacksonville’s trading card game community, but every so often you come across a vendor whose story reminds you why this hobby brings people together in the first place. For our first ever “Vendor Spotlight”, we are proud to feature DuvalCollector, a team whose energy, connection to the city, and genuine love for the hobby have made them a standout presence at local shows.
From childhood pack openings to traveling statewide as a unified team, DuvalCollector represents the spirit of community that The Card Collab was created to highlight. Their table is more than a place to buy cards. It is a place where conversations happen, memories are shared, and collectors of all ages feel welcome.
Why they’re part of the community
What started with opening Pokémon packs and trading at school has grown into something much bigger. Duval Collector is built on years of passion for the hobby, evolving from casual trades on Facebook, Reddit, and Discord into a full team presence at shows. Today, it’s not just about cards- it’s about showing up, connecting, and building something alongside the community.
