About Attic Investments
Private Equity Investments in the Growing Alternative Asset Class of Trading Cards
Merging Passions
David Arons, a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) grew up as a trading card collector heavily influenced by his Grandfather. David’s career has included time as an institutional asset manager, involvement on both sides of real estate private equity funds and even as a macro economics professor. David has always been fascinated by the economics of the trading card market and eventually it made sense to combine his professional experience with his interest in the Hobby.
Professional Career
David spent the majority of his career working either at Lennar Homes or companies affiliated with Lennar, including 6 years at Rialto Capital, a company that raised private equity funds for investments in various real estate platforms. David recently rejoined Lennar as a Vice President in Lennar’s National Land Finance Group. David has also previously worked as a part-time Macro-Economics Professor for the Ventura County Community College District.
Investment Potential
David has been successfully investing in trading cards for over 20 years. He often joked with his friends and family that if he had just invested his money in only Michael Jordan RC’s he would have been set for life financially. This was only a half joke to David and eventually, it just made sense to launch Attic Investments in 2019 with the intention of creating professional investment vehicles in trading cards through private equity funds.
Modern Wax Fund
In the first quarter of 2020, Attic Investments, in a partnership with Blowout Cards launched the Modern Wax Fund, believed to be the first private equity fund in trading cards.
Future Opportunities
Through partnerships with LJ’s Investments among others, Attic Investments is continuing the pursuit of putting trading cards into more traditional investment vehicles with the ultimate goal of eventually attracting institutional investment.

“Card manufacturers alone are doing roughly $1.25B+, and the secondary market is 4-8x that number. Add in distribution, licensing, marketplaces, storage, breakers, and beyond… you can easily see your way to a large and investable market.”
