Q1

How do I order?

Send the product, quantity, and budget through Facebook Messenger. We reply with what we can secure and at what price.

Q2

Is there a minimum order?

No. A single card or a single box is fine. Larger quantities can bring the unit price down, so tell us the quantity you have in mind.

Q3

Do you have it in stock, or can you source a specific card?

We source to order in Japan rather than holding a shelf. Send the card name, set, condition, and budget, and we come back with the quantity we can secure and the price. The number of copies available at one price is limited.

Q4

How are prices set, and do they change?

We buy against the Japanese market, so a quote reflects that day. If the market moves, the quote moves. We state how long each quote holds.

Q5

Can you build a bundle to my budget?

Yes. Tell us the budget, plus any series you want left out or eras you want included. We build the card count and contents to fit that budget and send it back as a quote.

Q6

Is the bundle the same as the cards in your photos?

No. The photos are bundles we built before, and the actual contents depend on what we source at the time. If you want a particular set or era, we build to that brief.

Q7

Can I swap cards out of a bundle?

A few swaps are fine. Bundles are built against a total resale value, so a long list of changes may not work. Leaving out a whole series, Mega for example, we can do at the same price.

Q8

What condition are the cards in?

NM to LP. Nothing with obvious damage goes in. Condition varies card to card, so tell us up front if you need a specific standard.

Q9

Are the sealed boxes really sealed?

The Order page lists sealed products and dated reference prices. Packaging condition and availability are confirmed for each quote. Ask whether factory shrink is intact for the exact box and request item-specific photos before payment.

Q10

Can I see what I am buying before I pay?

Yes. For bundles and slabs we check every card in hand and send photos of the actual items before payment. Past examples are on the Track Record page.

Q11

How do I pay?

Wise or PayPal. The invoice comes as a PDF, and we tell you the card total and the shipping figure separately before you pay.

Q12

How much is shipping, and who pays import duty?

Shipping is quoted per destination and weight. Import duty and VAT are billed to you by the carrier on arrival. Both are covered in detail on the shipping page, where you can also estimate your own parcel.

Q13

Can you ship to an address in Japan?

Yes, including a hotel or a rental while you are here. A domestic delivery counts as a sale inside Japan, so 10% Japanese consumption tax applies.

Q14

What are the return and compensation terms?

The quote states the return and compensation terms for that order. Read them before you pay, and ask if anything is unclear.

Q

How do I request ungraded singles?

Search by card name or number, set, rarity and price range, then add quantities to your request list. Listed prices are references. Confirm availability, actual condition, final prices and combined shipping in your quote. Browse singles →
