The Story of Eddy’s Emporium

Some kids grow up surrounded by toys—I grew up surrounded by treasures. My parents were antique lovers, and my dad even had a shop called Aladdin’s Cave (hence the name—this is my way of paying homage!). Weekends were spent at car boot sales, watching people light up as they found items that meant something to them. It wasn’t the antiques that hooked me, but the thrill of rediscovering nostalgia—of seeing how much people value the things they love.

At six years old, I found my own obsession—trading cards. That was it. I was hooked. Over the past 25+ years, my passion for collecting has only grown. About five years ago, I started hunting down nostalgic treasures at car boots, finding childhood relics that parents were parting with. It made me happy, and even better—my friends and family loved it too. So, I took the plunge and started selling on eBay, sharing these finds with others who felt the same magic.

After a successful few years, I wanted to build something bigger—a brand that could bring collectors together, whether they’re chasing rare TCG cards, nostalgic toys, or unique collectibles. And so, Eddy’s Emporium was born!

Now, here we are—ready to grow, trade, and collect together. Whether you’re here for Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, comics, video games, or something totally unexpected, I can’t wait to see what treasures you’ll uncover.

Welcome aboard—let’s make collecting an adventure!
