Our Story
Eric Reimer dedicated his life to helping others. He single-handedly established the family business in 2006. What first started as a hobby of collecting sports memorabilia quickly turned into an obsession. He would inspire friends & family on missions to hunt for starting lineups & sport cards. In the early days, KB Toys & Toys R Us would have the best stock. He would even motivate his sons with friendly competition to find the "chase variants" and reward them with prizes, like the original Street Fighter on Super Nintendo. You have to understand, back then that was a big deal! After years of being an avid collector he developed a dream to share his hobby & passion with others, finding his niche in the custom framing industry. Initially, it was a total fluke and was never the original intent. However, through his obsession of sharing his love of sports combined with a passion for service and success he continued on to build a long-lasting legacy.
I will never forget the day he called me & asked if I wanted to travel with him to Cleveland to meet with the Cleveland Browns. I was an eleven-year-old kid at the time & thought that was the coolest thing ever. What Eric didn't tell me was we actually never had a meeting scheduled. Classic Eric! He just decided to show up to the stadium completely cold, with no point of contact, no reference, & no appointment. He had a painting done of Joshua Cribbs that he had framed himself. When we arrived to the team store, the associates said we should go up to the offices of the Alumni Department & speak to them. We met with Tony Dick the alumni director at that time. Tony loved the Custom Framing & we would then go on to be the first company to develop the silent auction in Cleveland Browns Stadium. Eric would go on to do all the framing for the Cleveland Browns for several years. Eric & Tony would remain life long friends. That is really when the business started to develop into something real. It was no longer a hobby, his life long love became his career. In 2009 he began to do all the framing for the Toledo Walleye, Toledo Mudhens & The Toledo Rockets University. From there he would go on to help charity causes in Toledo. He raised thousands of dollars for The Boys & Girls Club of Toledo, Make A Wish, Easter Seals, Mobile Meals, Moms House, The Alzheimer's Association, The Wounded Veteran Program, Local Schools, Police, Fire & Rescue, Christian Athletes Program, & Individual Families in need. It was his vision, creativity, & drive that not only impacted his community, but that lives on in each one of us as well. We love you, and your legacy continues.
