Meet the Owner

Hello everyone, 

My name is Gideon and I own Factory 913. I want to thank you so much for taking the time to check out my business. 

My History with Pokémon: 

My story goes all the way back to the beginning. I fell in love with collecting as soon as the card game came out. I didn't have much money and my parent's thought it was a waste of money. So I cut lawns, washed windows, sold cucumbers, really anything I could to get some money for a pack of cards. I remember pulling my first Charizard in the Team Rocket set. That Dark Charizard has been burned into my memory as one of my favorites. 

After I joined the Army I fell off from collecting Pokémon for many years. Once I had children and the X&Y Evolutions set was released I went back into Pokémon full force. I was able to secure my childhood cards and have been slowly sending them in for grading to be preserved. 

After I moved to Colorado I started Factory 913 and established and active TCGplayer account. I have been in business for more then three years sharing my passion and love for the cards with others. 

After I moved to Japan I had to shut down for storefront on TCGplayer for a period due to a new demanding job. I had to rebuild my Pokémon community and within days of arriving started searching out Pokémon fans. We hope you enjoy the site. Please feel free to send me a message and stay in touch. I love everyone in the community and genuinely enjoy your support.
