About Us

Category One Games is owned and operated by Scott Church, a lifelong collector and passionate supporter of the trading card game community.

Scott's journey into the hobby world began back in the late 1980s, when he started selling sports cards out of his school locker. He’s been hooked ever since. He picked up Magic: The Gathering in 1994, and was there on day one for Star Wars CCG when it launched in November 1995. By 1998, Scott was selling cards on eBay, and in 2004, he officially launched Category One Games as a dedicated online storefront.

Over the last 30+ years, Scott has played, ran tournaments, judged, and supported dozens of collectible games—many of which are now out of print and hard to find. He’s served as a member of the Star Wars CCG Players Committee Advocate Board and has organized community events and tournaments for games like Star Trek CCG, Heroclix, WWE Raw Deal, Lord of the Rings, and more.

At Category One Games, we specialize in helping collectors and players find the cards they need—whether you’re finishing a deck, hunting down that final promo, or diving into a classic game for the first time. We take pride in our attention to detail, our love of the hobby, and our commitment to providing a smooth, personal experience for every customer.

The best part of the job? Hearing that someone completed their collection, built their dream deck, or rediscovered a favorite game with friends.

Thanks for being part of the C1G community.
