Why get your cards
straight from Japan?

Since you’re here you probably don’t need convincing that Japanese Pokémon cards are simply the best. But why use a personal shopper to buy straight from Japan instead of the usual English-language marketplaces?

Compared to local shelf prices, many Japanese cards tend to be anywhere from +30% to +200% more expensive on English-speaking marketplaces like eBay or Cardmarket. Here's a few examples of eBay sold prices compared to the price the same card can be bought for in Japan:

* Actual prices from Japanese stores and eBay sold listings from March 2024 – prices on either side may change.

Simply put, stores in Japan have the best cards, at the best price. Even accounting for shipping and service fees, you're likely to get a good (often even excellent) deal when shopping with your Personal Shwooper!

Who's my
Personal Shwooper?

Your shopping will be done by Antoine (@ToineLay on X), who in addition to being a trusted Japanese-to-English translator for the Pokémon community, is also an avid collector who has spent more than 7 years in Japan and knows local card shops like the back of their hand.
You can trust them with finding the best deals on cards you'll love, and to make sure the card's condition matches your needs!

Antoine is one of the nicest, most reliable and most knowledgeable people in the Pokémon community. I have asked them to source everything from recent TCG cards to obscure DS games and they have always come through.
I always say I won’t vouch for someone unless I’m 100% sure they’re legit. Antoine is legit!

Antoine's knowledge of Japanese Pokemon cards is like a treasure chest. Their passion for collecting, combined with their understanding of Japan, ensures top-notch selections – many times they’ve helped me find cards I couldn’t find anywhere else for my Komiya collection!
The thrill of discovering what's inside each package is always a joy, and it’s not just about the cards either — the care and thoughtfulness Antoine puts in each choice truly makes a difference. Highly recommended!
