How did it start
How my card adventure began
Everyone who has a passion for collecting cards has a story. For me, it all started in the late 90s. A friend of mine showed me his collection, and I was immediately hooked. The colorful illustrations, the excitement of collecting, and the endless trading opportunities — I knew right away that this would be my new hobby.
With my first pocket money I bought a booster pack. The smell of fresh cards, the sound of opening the package — it was magical. My first rare card was a holo Khangaskhan (which I still have!), and from that moment on I was hooked.
The growth of my collection
In the years that followed, my collection grew steadily. Every birthday, every holiday, and sometimes even for no reason, I bought cards. I saved every penny to spend on new expansions.
At one point I had over 15,000 cards. My collection was extremely varied: from the first generation of cards to modern series. I had folders full of carefully arranged cards and a drawer full of loose cards that I had not yet had time to neatly store. Games like ' closest to the wall ' and ' handjeklap ' allowed me to grow my collection without spending any money on it.
It wasn't just the collecting that attracted me, but also the sense of community. I traded cards at events and made new friends who shared the same passion.
A new chapter in 2023: say goodbye or expand your passion?
As with many collections, there comes a time when you wonder: what now? For me, that moment came in late 2023. My collection was getting too big to manage, and I found myself with cards that I hadn’t touched in years or had as many as 40 duplicates (hello, Base Set Charmander!).
I decided to sell my collection little by little, at least the duplicates.
A new mission: selling cards for others
While selling my own collection the site grew so fast that I started selling other people's cards on the site. So you will find a combination of cards from my collection and cards that other people want to sell. Think of it as an auction house.
It’s great to see how our site has grown into a place where collectors come together. Whether you’re looking for a specific card to complete your collection, or you’re looking to sell part of your own collection — we’re here to help.
