Two Local PB Dads. One Big Idea.

Rip Time was started by Aaron and Mike — two Pacific Beach dads who fell back in love with ripping packs while collecting with their kids. Weekend card shows turned into a full-on hobby, and before long… they realized something:

Cards shouldn’t only exist online or at random hobby shops.
They should be everywhere people already are — ready to rip on the spot.

So they built Rip Time.

Who We Are

Mike
After serving 18 years in the military, Mike brings discipline, logistics expertise, and serious attention to detail to every machine we place. He’s the guy making sure these machines stay stocked, secure, and running flawlessly.

Aaron
Aaron is a successful local Realtor who knows the PB community inside and out. He’s built a career on relationships, trust, and helping people — and now he’s bringing that same energy to Rip Time.

Why We Do This

For us, Rip Time isn’t just business — it’s a shared passion.

We’ve seen firsthand how excited kids (and let’s be honest... adults) get when they rip into a fresh pack. There’s nothing else like that surprise, that chase, that instant spark of joy.

Now we’re bringing that feeling to places where people are already spending time — bowling alleys, airports, restaurants, batting cages, and more. No hobby shop required. No waiting for shipping. Just rip and enjoy.

Our Mission

To make collecting accessible, fun, and spontaneous — anywhere, anytime.
