Who We Are 

Arena Club is a fast-rising, tech-first trading-card platform founded in 2022 by serial entrepreneur Brian Lee (LegalZoom, ShoeDazzle, Honey) and baseball icon Derek Jeter.  We set out to solve every friction point hobbyists face—authentication worries, slow shipping, inconsistent grading—by merging an insured vault, proprietary AI-enhanced grading, and real-time digital commerce.  Our team blends veteran startup operators, ex-Topps hobby experts, and engineers from top fintech's. We operate with the urgency of a seed-stage rocket ship but have already partnered with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment.  In short, we’re building the Waymo of the collectible's world: a centrally managed, AI-driven service that delivers unmatched speed, trust, and value at scale.
