Card-show buying
We buy selected raw Pokémon singles in person at selected UK card shows.
No postal submissions, online buylist submissions or remote valuations.
A quick guide to the cards we can assess at our stand.
Languages and value
We buy English and Japanese singles. We also consider Chinese-market exclusives such as exclusive promos, artwork and releases with collector demand.
We generally look for individual cards with a current market value of £20 or more. Desirable cards slightly below this level may occasionally be considered.
Several qualifying singles are welcome.
Condition
Lightly Played cards may be considered depending on the card, age, rarity and demand. Vintage and older cards are assessed individually.
Format
We are not currently buying graded or slabbed cards.
Where we buy
Bring your cards to our stand at a show where buying is advertised. We do not accept postal submissions or offer remote purchasing.
Not currently accepted
You may still bring several individual singles that meet our criteria.
A straightforward in-person assessment.
Visit the Collect Monsters stand at a participating card show.
We confirm the exact card and inspect its condition and authenticity.
We review recent genuine sales and current demand.
We explain the offer. There is no obligation to sell.
How we value cards
Asking prices are not the same as confirmed market value. We look at recent genuine sold prices and assess every card individually.
Cards may be declined depending on condition, authenticity, demand or our current stock.
A little preparation helps us assess your cards more efficiently.
There is no need to remove them from protective sleeves before you arrive.
Keep the singles you want assessed apart from the rest of your cards.
Deciding which cards you are ready to part with keeps the conversation simple.
Larger groups of cards may take longer to identify and assess.
