Pokémon TCG

[UnknownDonut]

I've started collecting Pokémon TCG with my daughters, think I'm more into it than they are .

Where is the best known place to buy cards from, avoiding fakes and inflated prices, English, Korean or Japanese cards, is Japanese the best as this is where Pokémon started ?

I've used amazon for our first purchase, although the prices on there seem high.
We ordered Pokémon TCG Glory of Team Rocket Booster Pack x3 | Japanese Pokémon Cards £17.

Chaos cards for Pokemon is my recommendation

If wanting Japanese/korean I’ve used Japan2UK

In don’t trust amazon for cards as too many fakes on there like ebay

Try MagicMadHouse as well, I’ve used them a fair bit.

Amazon is known for returns being resealed
Costco if you're magically there when a drop lands
Chaos cards and magic madhouse are names that crop up often too

If able and have a local card game store I’d say support them too providing they haven’t joined the scalper crew

I have one o regularly visit for Star Wars unlimited. They do other products but they don’t over charge so I try support them as much as I can

I've taken a punt at this site I came across, japantradingcardstore cards are direct from Japan, only ordered a small tester amount, see what turns up.

The Destiny Rivals (Jap) packs we want are currently £2 on there.

That will get expensive
As others said, for sure ChaosCards, MagicMadhouse, Wayland Games, sometimes CardMarket depending on the seller.

TBF for the Destiny Rivals it worked out cheaper than buying from the UK inc shipping worked out about £3.60 pp, think the cheapest in the UK I could get for £4.50 pp at the time.

I've just brought a bunch of Battle Partners from Japan2UK for £2 each bargain.

Nice one. Wish you good times collecting!
I was collecting Lorcana with my daughter for a few years but just go so expensive and a lot of time needed!
