As a Pokémon card collector, this was my best discovery of 2025 so far

As a Pokémon card collector, my best discovery of 2025 so far was finding an online card shop where I can check the exact condition of each individual card before purchasing. I’ve ordered from this shop around 15 times now, and what surprised me most was being able to see things like print misalignment, the precise location of scratches, and even the type of wear on each card. Before this, I honestly didn’t even know an online shop like this existed. From what I understand, the shop buys cards locally in Japan and then inspects them one by one before listing them for sale. Because of that, every order I’ve received has matched my expectations perfectly — which is rare when buying cards online. That said, I’m genuinely curious: Are there any other Pokémon card websites where you can buy cards without that usual “what condition will it arrive in?” anxiety? If you know any similar sites, I’d love to hear about them. submitted by /u/Jarisestore [link] [comments]
