SHOP: CHECKING

Pokemon Singles

No single cards are listed yet. Each one gets its own page with a real stock count and its own price break table, so the per card rate falls as you stack copies of it.

Buy Pokemon singles with the market math shown

Every card here was pulled by hand out of bulk we bought from collectors, which shapes this page in two ways. The inventory is honest: mostly the $1 to $20 cards that actually live in real collections, not a wall of chase cards. And the pricing is checkable: each card page shows our price next to a dated TCGplayer market aggregate, a sparkline of our own daily tracking, and PSA population data where the card has a graded history. No small shop shows you that math, which is exactly why we do.

Sorting by card is also why the price breaks exist. When a monster box gives us two hundred copies of the same common, that stack goes on one page with rates that drop as you take more of it, down to 40 percent off at 100 copies. Playset buyers, classroom stockers, and binder fillers all buy the exact card instead of gambling on a blind pile; the deepest stacks live on the bulk quantities page. A sold out card is sold out for good unless that exact card comes back through, so the stock count on the page is the real number rather than a placeholder.

Questions collectors ask

How much do your Pokemon singles cost?

Most of the shelf lives in the $1 to $20 band, because that is what good bulk actually produces. Each card is priced individually against its live TCGplayer market aggregate at listing time, and the card page shows you that aggregate with its date right next to our price, so you can check our work.

How do the quantity price breaks work?

Every card page carries a price break table. One to three copies sell at the base price, and the per card rate steps down at 4, 10, 25, and 100 copies, down to 40 percent off the base at 100 or more. The table highlights your tier as you change the quantity, so the math is on the page before the cart.

Where do these cards come from?

Out of bulk we sorted by card, which is why one common can land here with hundreds of copies behind it. The deep stock row is literally the tallest stacks on the shelf. We no longer buy bulk by mail, so what is listed is what we have.

What is the market data on each card page?

A dated TCGplayer aggregate reference, a sparkline of our own daily price tracking, and, where the card exists in the PSA population dataset we maintain, how many copies PSA has graded. Any figure older than 7 days hides itself rather than pretending to be current.

What condition are the singles in?

Near Mint English unless the listing says otherwise. Condition is stated on every card page.

How do singles ship?

Orders under $20 with 8 cards or fewer ship in a plain envelope as a USPS First Class letter for $1.60, untracked. Bigger stacks and orders of $20 or more ship tracked USPS Ground Advantage by weight. The split is stated on every card page.
