A Veteran’s Passion for Sports, Craft, and Collecting
Hi, I’m Daniel — an active-duty U.S. Navy Sailor with nearly 20 years of service, soon to retire and begin a new chapter built around my lifelong passion for sports and collecting.
I started Gr8Magnets as a way to combine creativity, craftsmanship, and the love of the game. What began as a hobby with my kids — collecting and trading cards — turned into a project to give those cards new life. Each piece is made from a real trading card, encased in high-quality resin for a glossy, durable finish, and backed with strong magnets that make them perfect for displaying your favorite players and teams anywhere.
My goal is simple: to help fans and collectors showcase their love for the game in a unique, eye-catching way. Every magnet is handmade in San Diego with care and attention to detail — from prepping and sealing the card to ensuring a clean, polished finish worthy of the players we cheer for.
As I prepare to transition from my Navy career, this shop represents more than a business — it’s a creative outlet, a family project, and a way to stay connected to the sports and community I love. Thank you for supporting handmade and for being part of this next chapter!
