Turn the cards you don’t want into the cards you do.

Pokémon card trading by mail, no haggling. Name the cards you’re missing and offer market price for them, or your own percent of it (100 CC ≈ $1). When another collector lists one, they can mail it straight to you. Your doubles pay for the next ones.

  • Cards arrive by mail from other collectors — no meetups, no DMs
  • 500 CC on us to start — enough for your first card, postage included
  • No payment info — credits change hands only after the card does

Nothing to pay, no card details  ·  Takes about a minute

How it works

Trade while you sleep.

You know the binder with the gaps — the last few numbers of a set, the Meowth printings you’ve never held. Here, you name them once and the matches come to you.

01/03

Set your wants

Name the cards you’re missing, one exact printing or any Meowth you don’t own, and what you’ll pay: market price, or a percent of it. Your 500 CC to start covers the first one, postage included.

02/03

Collectors come to you

The moment another collector lists a card that fits, they see your offer already agreed and can accept on the spot — even at 3 a.m. They ship, you confirm delivery, and only then do your credits move.

03/03

Turn your doubles into more

The shoebox — doubles too good to toss, not good enough to grade — is what pays for the next card. List them once; when one matches someone’s want, ship it and the credits land after delivery is confirmed.

That’s the loop. Cards you don’t want become credits. Credits become cards you do.

The Credit Economy

One currency for the whole hobby. 100 CC ≈ $1.

Collector Credits are the price tags of the community. Every card has a live market price in CC — so a 758 CC card is a $7.58 card, and everyone knows it. Credits never leave the loop: you can’t cash out, so nobody’s here to flip currency. Everyone’s here to complete collections.

  • Transparent market pricing on every card, with price history
  • Offers in CC, not vague trade stacks — no more “is this fair?” math
  • A flat 3% on completed trades funds Trade Protection
758CC $7.58

Trade Protection

Every trade is protected. That’s what the 3% is for.

Mailing a card to a stranger should feel boring, not brave. A flat 3% of what the sender is paid on each completed trade funds Trade Protection for the whole community.

Card never arrives?

File a claim and Trade Protection reimburses you in credits. The sender’s reputation takes the hit, not your balance.

Condition not as described?

Report within the review window. We arbitrate against the listing evidence and condition standard, and refund the difference.

Reputation you can read

Every collector has a public track record: trades completed, positive rate, verified badge. You always know who’s on the other end of the mailbox.

Fair questions

You should be skeptical. Here’s the fine print, in plain English.

Is the free card real? What’s the catch?

It’s real, and there’s no catch waiting further in. 500 CC goes into your balance when you join. Postage is 125 CC a package, so that covers one listed card and the postage to mail it. You pick a card a collector has listed; when they accept, they pack it and mail it to you. There’s nothing to buy and no card details to give. Credits never turn into cash — they turn into cards.

What are my cards worth in CC?

Every card has a live market price, with visible price history. 100 CC ≈ $1. You can offer above or below market — a want at 120% of market price, for example.

Can I cash out my credits?

No, and that’s deliberate. Credits are for collecting, not currency speculation. The closed loop keeps value inside the community and keeps the site full of collectors instead of people flipping currency.

What if my card never arrives, or shows up misgraded?

Trade Protection, funded by the 3% fee, covers non-delivery and condition disputes. Condition is declared against our published standard, and disputes are arbitrated with the listing evidence — not argued in DMs.

Who pays for shipping?

The sender ships, following the protected shipping guidelines built into every match. Credits are released only after delivery confirmation.

What does it cost?

Joining, cataloging, and listing are free. The only fee is 3% of what you’re paid when a trade completes, and all of it funds Trade Protection.

Your binder is full of someone else’s grail.

And your chase card is sitting in someone else’s shoebox. Set your wants tonight and let the collectors who have them come to you — with 500 CC on us to start, in the only currency that turns into the cards you’re missing.
