"YOU SHOOT IT, WE PRINT IT, SLAB IT, AND SEND IT.
WE SEND YOU A CHECK
IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE."
-Rich Wilk, President, AR COLLECTIONS.
They don’t look like your typical founders—and that’s exactly the point.
One is a marketing savant who lives at the intersection of culture, influence, and access: managing major influencers, celebrities, and media personalities while operating as a high-level casino host at one of Las Vegas’s most exclusive properties.
The other is a lifelong professional entertainer—a master magician with over thirty years of experience creating moments of wonder—who also happens to be a deeply technical mind, award-winning in close-up prestidigitation and fluent in the language of emerging tech.
Separately, they’ve spent decades engineering unforgettable experiences.
Together, they’ve spent more than 60 years learning what truly excites people.
That fusion is what gave birth to a completely new category of trading cards that unlock private Augmented Reality experiences. Not links. Not streams. Not screenshots. Content that can only be accessed by physically owning the card itself—exclusive, unshareable, and designed to feel personal. For influencers and celebrities, this created something that never existed before: a way to deliver premium, controlled, intimate digital experiences directly to their most dedicated fans. When these two joined forces, they didn’t just start a company—they quietly invented AR Collections, turning the trading card into a living, expandable canvas where ownership finally means something.

Why ARCollections?
Remember when NFTs hit the scene? Such cool cards, captivating colors, and unique artwork. Only problem. You couldn't hold them, you couldn't touch them. Gone was the satisfaction of feeling the slab between your fingers. Make believe cards, bought and sold with make believe money.
Non-Fungible = No Fun.
