Firm client and Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star shortstop, Bobby Witt Jr., recently invested in CollX, an app-based platform that allows sports and other trading card collectors to instantly get the current market value of their sports trading cards by simply snapping a photo. The Series A Financing was led by Brand Foundry Ventures, and Witt joins a group of additional investors in the round including Collectors CEO Nat Turner, Scott Keeney (DJ Skee), Philadelphia Eagles General Manager and Executive Vice President, Howie Roseman, and Philadelphia 76ers owner and Campus Apartments founder David Adelman. Not only does CollX allow users to buy, sell, and trade cards, but it also helps to build a community with other sports enthusiasts. Witt, an avid collector himself, will also serve as an advisor and brand ambassador to CollX; further bridging the gap between athletes and sports trading card enthusiasts. Last season with the Kansas City Royals, Bobby Witt Jr. was named a Gold Glove winner, Silver Slugger, First-Team All-MLB selection, and the American League MVP runner-up.
