About Us
Jesse Craig (CEO)
Jesse has a passion for sports and trading cards. Realizing a shift in the industry, he joined what is formerly known as PWCC Marketplace (now Fanatics Collect) as an equity partner in 2019 to help usher in a new level of sophistication to legitimize trading cards as a tangible asset class. Prior to the switch, Jesse spent 4 years as a successful real estate broker and has 10+ years of sports collectibles experience. He has combined that experience to start Acquir, a company focused on white-glove high-end collectibles services. Growing up in an entrepreneurial household, with his father owning multiple businesses, Jesse started learning about business at a young age. He has always been taught to ‘surround yourself with people smarter than you’, advice he has taken whole heartily and implemented within his professional career. Jesse grew up in the Portland Metro area. After graduating from Tualatin High School, he went on to attend the University of Oregon as a 4th generation Duck. He graduated with a degree in Business and returned to the Portland area to start his family. Outside of work, Jesse loves to spend time with family and friends. Dubbed a “wino”, he and his wife have their fair share of wine club memberships and love going wine tasting in the area. Jesse also loves to golf; previously a former State Champion for Tualatin High School - he loves to hit the links when he has time.
Brock Hayden (President)
Brock began in the industry by buying and selling cards as a hobbyist in 2017 during his time in Pharmacy school at Butler University in Indianapolis, IN. Working to pay off costs of his college education, he became a dealer and attended shows on weekends. Sports cards were always a passion growing up, with LeBron James being his favorite athlete as a child. Upon finishing college with a Doctorate of Pharmacy in 2020 during the COVID boom for collectibles, Brock decided to take a risk and pursue his passion for trading cards. He took a job with PWCC Marketplace where he was successful in bringing in over $70m in auction consignment sales, as well as brokering many of the largest private sales in the market at the time. One of his most noteworthy sales would be the 1997 Kobe Green PMG for $2m in 2022. Seeing high demand and need for Private Sales expertise, he co-founded Acquir with Jesse Craig in 2023.
