The things
most people ask.

  • Exclusively Pokémon cards graded by PSA or Beckett, typically starting at five-figure $ value — from iconic grails to extremely rare, low-population cards the wider market hasn't priced in yet.

  • You may wait years for the exact cert to surface, then compete publicly and pay a buyer's premium on top. We approach holders directly, often before consignment — privately, and frequently at better all-in terms.

  • Buyers pay a search fee plus a success commission; sellers pay a membership and a success commission. Exact terms are disclosed transparently before any mandate is signed. Our all-in cost is deliberately positioned below the total cost of the auction route.

  • Every cert is verified against PSA/Beckett records and every case is forensically inspected for tampering before we proceed. If we're not certain, the deal doesn't happen.

  • Escrow-style settlement: the card is only handed over once funds are secured. We never accept cash and conduct identity verification (KYC) for every transaction.

  • Yes. Our default is insured hand-carry by a member of the team, door to door, worldwide. Fully insured specialist shipping is available where hand-carry is impractical.

  • That's one of the main reasons sellers come to us. We provide a grounded valuation from comparable sales, population data and live demand from our buyer mandates.

  • No. We publish no prices, no client names and no transaction details. Anonymized references are available to qualified clients.

  • Japan is the origin market and holds many of the rarest cards in existence, but language and trust barriers keep them out of reach for most buyers. Our network operates on both sides of that barrier.

  • Some mandates are matched within days from our own network; genuinely rare certs can take months. We give you an honest read during the consultation — and we don't charge success fees until we succeed.
