JCs Memorabilia Story

JCs Memorabilia started as a small passion project between a father and son, with just a few autographed jerseys and helmets-and a big idea

My name is Jarad, and together with my 9-year-old son CJ, we launched JCs Memorabilia on Whatnot as a fun way to bond and, more importantly, to teach him about how money works. What began as a simple hands-on lesson in business and finance quickly grew into something so much more.

From those early days of packaging a handful of items at our kitchen table, we have grown our inventory to over 450 unique pieces of signed sports memorabilia. CJ helps out after school and on weekends, learning the ropes of entrepreneurship while having fun- and I handle everything from inventory, live show hosting, and shipping, to maintaining our website, TikTok Shop, Facebook page, and eBay store during my evenings and weekends.

At its heart, JCs Memorabilia is more than just a business. It's a father-son journey fueled by our love for sports, our drive to grow something together, and the meaningful time we get to spend side by side. Every jersey, helmet, and signature we sell has a little bit of our story behind it-and we're proud to share it with you.
