Every collector remembers the moment they fell in love with a hobby.
Maybe it was pulling a favorite card, finding the perfect die-cast car, opening a new board game with friends, or discovering a collectible that instantly became part of your collection.
For us, those moments weren't just memories—they became a lifelong passion.
We're Andrew and Cassidy Glassburn, lifelong collectors, parents, and the owners of AC TCG in downtown Kokomo, Indiana. What started as a shared hobby around the kitchen table grew into vendor booths, online sales, and eventually a storefront built around the things we love most: collectibles, games, and community.
Like many collectors, we started simply by enjoying the hobbies we loved. Over time, our collections grew, our interests expanded, and we found ourselves sharing recommendations, helping friends find hard-to-locate items, and introducing others to new games and collectibles. What began as a personal passion gradually became something bigger.
As we spent more time in the hobby community, we realized that collecting is about more than just the items themselves. Some of the best memories come from the people you meet, the stories behind a collection, and the excitement of helping someone find exactly what they've been searching for. That sense of connection became one of the driving forces behind AC TCG.
Building AC TCG has been a journey of its own. From setting up vendor booths and packing online orders to opening our storefront in downtown Kokomo, every step has been guided by the same goal: creating the kind of hobby shop we would want to visit ourselves. A place where collectors, players, and families can feel welcome regardless of experience level.
Today, AC TCG offers trading card games, collectibles, board games, die-cast vehicles, toys, and hobby products for collectors of all ages. Whether you're hunting for a missing card, looking for your next favorite board game, or introducing a child to their first collection, we're here to help.
We believe collecting should be fun, welcoming, and accessible. That's why we focus on fair pricing, authentic products, and creating a space where collectors, players, and families feel at home. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just beginning your journey, we're grateful to be a small part of it.
Why Collectors Choose AC TCG
Collector-Owned
We aren't a corporate chain or investment group. Everything we stock is chosen by collectors who genuinely enjoy the hobby.
Community-Focused
Our store isn't just a place to shop. We host events, open play opportunities, and community gatherings designed to bring collectors and players together.
Family-Owned
As parents of four, we understand the importance of creating a welcoming environment for families, kids, and collectors of every experience level.
Fair & Transparent
We believe long-term trust matters more than short-term profits. That means authentic products, honest communication, and pricing that respects both collectors and the hobby.
Andrew Glassburn - Co-Founder
Andrew has been collecting since childhood, and his passion for it has only grown over the years. At AC TCG, he specializes in sourcing from trusted wholesalers, tracking market trends, and setting fair, competitive prices. His top 5 favorite Pokémon (in no particular order) are Charizard, Lugia, Totodile, Umbreon, and Mew; he primarily collects GM diecast, and he maintains a personal Pokémon collection outside of what the shop offers.
Cassidy Glassburn - Co-Founder
Cassidy’s love for Pokémon began with the games, her very first being Pokémon Gold on the Game Boy Color. Today, she oversees customer relations, website management, and business operations, making sure every order runs smoothly. She started watching anime at a young age with her father and has a deep love for 90s anime. Her top 5 favorite Pokémon (also in no order) are Gengar, Espeon, Ditto, Stufful, and Chikorita; and like Andrew, she continues to build her own collection alongside the business.
For Every Collector
While Pokémon remains a huge part of what we do, we've built AC TCG around the idea that there's a collector in everyone. That's why you'll find everything from trading card games and board games to die-cast vehicles, toys, and collectibles throughout our store.
Family & Community
As a family-owned business, we believe hobbies bring people together. Whether you're a longtime collector, a competitive player, or introducing someone to their first collection, we strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels at home.
Fair & Transparent
We're committed to doing business the right way through honest pricing, transparency, and clear communication. As collectors ourselves, we know trust matters, which is why we strive to treat every customer fairly.
Thank You For Supporting Small Business.
Every order, every event attendance, every social media share, and every visit to the shop helps support a family-owned local business.
Whether you've been with us since our first vendor booth or you're discovering us for the first time, we're grateful to be part of your collecting journey.
From our collection to yours,
Andrew & Cassidy Glassburn
