Card Collect

// ABOUT THIS SHOP

Card Collect is a Pokémon-card specialist inside "Toreca Mall Akihabara No.1" in the basement of the Laox Akihabara main store. While the same mall holds shops like the One Piece–focused Ori-Park, this one narrows down to Pokémon alone, built around collector demand for old-back cards, PSA-graded pieces and sealed boxes. What stands out most is the strength of its buying. It purchases Pokémon PSA 10s and singles on a "no cap, cash on the spot" basis, and advertises boosted buying of out-of-print, high-value boxes such as stamp boxes and the 25th Anniversary box. With quick appraisals by staff well-versed in PSA, it's a strong candidate for anyone clearing a collection or looking to sell high-end items. A separate account handles mail-in buying. On the sales side there are "draw" offerings too, like guaranteed-PSA-10 oripa, and you can track sealed boxes and oripa through its online store (cardcollect.jp). It's a two-minute walk from Akihabara Station's Electric Town exit, easy to drop into while comparing the mall's several shops.
