Meet Us
Hey, thanks for coming to our blog. We are Josh and Ashley Cutler and we are the husband and wife team behind Zistle. Zistle is pretty much our life right now so what you see here is really a huge insight into who we are and what we spend most of our time doing. But here additional details:
We’ve known each other since the first grade and live happily in Bellevue, WA. We are originally from Minnesota and we are huge MN sports fans, especially the Twins and the Vikings. We both had collections when we were younger and we are excited to relive the excitement of card collecting as adults. Josh trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai and recently started playing Rugby for a change of pace. Ashley trained as a modern dancer but now primarily focuses on her yoga practice.
Josh (the guy in the pic) is the technical genius behind Zistle and when he isn’t coding Zistle he works as a professional software developer.
Ashley (the girl in the pic) is the resident jack-of-all trades who handles every other aspect of the business and is working full-time on Zistle after jumping ship from corporate life (at least for now).
This is us on our first wedding anniversary watching the Twins play the Mariners in Seattle. Everyone should eat a hot dog and garlic fries on their anniversary with a few beers. That’s romance.
Ashley – good idea and good luck. Let me know if I can be of any help.

I’ve got a huge family of card collectors just waiting to check this site out. Have fun and let the Zistle ride begin…stay in touch!
You guys might be interested in http://www.collexpo.com. I built this site with a partner. I am not trying to promote shamelessly, but rather hoping we might talk. If you want to investigate, check out the sports card section. there are 292,000 baseball cards and 352,000 football cards compiled in the databases. And the collection-building tool is pretty great. You can add whole sets with one click and sort cards into customized folders. You can also download your collection in CSV format, though the feature is tough to find.
I received an email froma friend, chuck zsolnai soccerarchives@gmail.com]. He asked if I would you mind sending an XL list for ONE year of Upper Deck Soccer (your choice) to Ashley over at Zistle and to tell her I suggested it and follow up with some fine examples from your collection.
Well here I am, I just registered as (batmancab) and I’d be happy to send you over whatever you need, in whatever format you would like it in. Just let me know.
I have a check list of every Upper Deck, UD/Bandai, Major League Soccer card made, 1997 to date, along with a price list (if need be)
I notice you do not have soccer on this site (yet)
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We are normally faster responding but we have been out of town dealing with a family emergency. I look forward to working on getting soccer up and running.
This is awesome! Thanks for creating a great collector site.
Your website is great. It is well organized and easy to use. I think I’m gonna start using this site more than Beckett once I’m moved into my new house. Thanx for putting together such a wonderful site.
I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you that I LOVE your site. Only downfall I can see is that its keeping me up too late trying to get my collection added lol. I’ll make sure and tell everyone about it because I’m sure they’ll love it and I agree with Robert. Its much better than beckett’s site and I’ll be here instead from now on. Keep up the good work!!
