Alpharetta, GA based collectibles company ranks inside the top 50 fastest-growing private retail companies in America and No. 1889 across all sectors on the annual Inc. 5000 list.
ALPHARETTA, Ga., Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Inc. revealed today that Giant Sports Cards ranks No. 1889 on the 2025 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. With an impressive company growth rate of 231%, Giant Sports Cards also proudly holds a top 50 rank in the retail sector nationally. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"It was an incredible honor to be inside the top 100 fastest-growing private companies on the list in 2024, and the fact that we made the list again this year inside the top 40% is a true testament to our employees' grit and the health of the collectibles industry.," said Jon Butts, CEO of Giant Sports Cards. "We're still in the early innings of modernizing and reshaping the collectibles industry and know the best is yet to come."
Butts is no stranger to making the Inc. 5000, as this marks the sixth time a company he has founded has made the list since 2015. Not only has he led Giant Sports Cards to the prestigious list multiple times, but his prior venture, Muscle Up Marketing (now UpSwell), landed on the Inc. 5000 list four years in a row from 2015-2018.
The Inc. 5000 class of 2025 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, economic uncertainty, and a shifting labor market. Among this year's top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,552 percent.
