Card Collect Hanare

// ABOUT THIS SHOP

Card Collect Hanare is a Pokémon-card specialist on the 2nd floor of the Kanda-dera Building — an offshoot, the "hanare" (annex), of Card Collect's station-front shop in the Laox basement. Within the same brand, this Hanare leans toward high-collectibility one-off pieces: old-back Pokémon cards, the "Shining Pokémon" series, and out-of-print boxes whose supply has thinned. The showcases sometimes hold cards from the hundreds of thousands into the millions of yen, rewarding even a browse. Its buying stance is clear too — it appraises Pokémon PSA 10s and singles on a "no cap, cash on the spot" basis, and advertises active purchase of out-of-print, high-value boxes such as stamp boxes and the 25th Anniversary box. For anyone wanting to sell old-back cards, it's a place where knowledgeable staff will look at even a single card. It sits in a quiet spot just off Chuo-dori, close to Suehirocho Station and a few minutes' walk from Akihabara. If the station-front main shop is about sales and turnover, this is the annex where you can take your time with high-end and vintage pieces. It's tied to the online store (cardcollect.jp), which also posts lottery sales and oripa.
