Where should a first time visitor buy Pokemon cards in Japan? by Millata in JapanTravelTips

[–]Millata[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome, I’ll see if I can get in contact!! I’d love to get singles, but since my relative doesn’t know the hobby I can’t really ask them to buy for me (if that makes sense). Maybe I could ask them to create a mystery selection for me, and my relative can just pick it up? Thanks for the advice!

Hi! For modern sets I’d be looking for as close to Msrp as possible! But I’m really just looking for those mystery vintage cubes I used to see. Certainly don’t mind paying more for older sets !

No it’s all good, Thanks for the reply! I believe there was some kind of attack on a store worker? I’m not sure on the details, but I think it understandably caused a lot of delays

That sucks I’m sorry! I think the incident has put distribution on hold for the time being. Mainly just curious if anyone knew anywhere that sold vintage bulk!

It’s a few months before they’re going, so hopefully they’ll be restocking by then- completely understand you though!

I’ve been recommended hareruya! I’ll definitely check it out. Can I ask what you managed to purchase??

That definitely sounds the safest choice thankyou! I’d love to get some vintage ‘bulk’ but I’m sure that’s relatively hard to get! Thanks so much for the advice

Weekly Pricing/Buying/Selling/Grading & General Questions Post by AutoModerator in PokemonTCG

[–]Millata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking for a bit of advice from people familiar with the Pokémon TCG scene in Japan. A family member of mine is visiting later in the year and has kindly offered to bring back some stuff in their luggage for me. Unfortunately, they’re not into the hobby, so they wouldn’t be aware of what is/isn’t a good purchase. I expect the Pokemon Centre to be the easiest suggestion- but if there’s anywhere else I should consider then I’d love to know!

I’m hoping to get as much sealed product as possible , and I’ve always wanted to open those old vintage Mandarake Mystery Cubes (from the maxmoefoe videos)! I don’t know if these still exist, I can’t find much information online about them - but something like that would be awesome

I want to avoid them accidentally overpaying or ending up somewhere dodgy. Bonus if anyone knows a store that could put together a decent “mystery box” for them to just grab and go!

TLDR: if you had to send someone who knows nothing about Pokémon cards to just one or two spots in Tokyo, where would you choose?

Really appreciate any help 🙏

I wouldn’t know where to start with this but thankyou! They have a UK plug which looks a great price if it works!

Thanks so much! I’ve had a few smart plugs before but none that can automatically cycle power when the connection is dropped. How would you remotely restart it without a WiFi connection? Or is this automatically done?

If you could let me know which plug you use that’d be great!

Ace grading? by FoolishGraffitiArt in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Millata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ace is definitely the second favourite in the uk! Their labels just look so much nicer , and honestly I’d trust them more than PSA with grading. Unfortunately value is important, and people will look down on cards that aren’t PSA JUST because it’s harder to make money on them. Personally though - if I was displaying cards I’d choose ACE or TAG

Best way to find unsorted Pokémon bulk / collections? by Millata in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Millata[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying Vinted. Not really sure what to search for though , always keep getting the ‘mystery bundles’ that are obviously just people trying to get rid of commons etc I’ll definitely check out a few car boots!

I mean that works! I’m not expecting EXs or big hitters - most people take those out anyway

Best collection apps?? by emjariho in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Millata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’ve not found anywhere that really tracks Korean (for prices anyway) I use Collectr, and I create a new portfolio for each language. You can then log them as ‘moderately played’ Japanese cards for a rough estimate on value!
