A family shop, run by collectors
Seriously Rare started the way most collections do: a couple of packs after tea, then a booster box, then a binder that filled up faster than anyone expected. We're a family in Leicestershire — two boys who know every card, and a dad who does the sleeving, the grading and the packing.
We sell the cards we'd be happy to buy. Every single is checked front and back under a lamp and graded conservatively; if it's LP we say LP, and we tell you where the wear is. Sealed product is priced like we'd want to pay. Order before 2pm Monday to Friday and it's posted the same day; otherwise the next working day. Everything goes Royal Mail tracked, packed so it arrives as it left.
We stock Pokémon TCG singles, sealed product and, as we find them, graded slabs and Japanese cards, and we're always interested in buying collections and singles. If you're after something we don't list, ask: hello@seriouslyrare.co.uk.
Where our cards come from
Everything we sell is genuine Pokémon Trading Card Game product, published by The Pokémon Company. Our English sealed product is bought new from official UK sources and sent unopened. Our singles come from sealed product we open ourselves, and each one is checked front and back before it is listed. Our Japanese cards and sealed product are imported directly from established Japanese exporters. Card pictures show each card's design; the copy you receive is the one described, in the condition stated. If a card from us ever worries you, send a photo and we will look at it, and anything that is not genuine is refunded in full.
Selling your cards
We buy collections of any size, from a shoebox in the loft to a whole binder: fair offers, explained, usually the same day. We meet by appointment in Lutterworth or a busy public place nearby, or send a free tracked label. Sell us your cards.
