Lately, I’ve been trying to collect the 25th Anniversary cards in English, Japanese, and Chinese. I find that Japanese cards are readily available on eBay or via third party buyers like Buyee. However, I don’t often see Chinese edition single cards on eBay. I was wondering if there’s a good site with international shipping for them. Something like Buyee for HK/Taiwan would be great too. Let me know any recs. Thanks!
For sealed 25th product in particular stockx is cheaper than eBay. There are hidden fees but if you live in the USA it’s only $10-15 per. So if you see a box for $40 expect to pay $50. Regardless it’s still quite a bit cheaper than eBay.
And unlike the other countries, the classic collection singles are tied to the sealed product they come in. e.g. you buy a charizard box specifically for the charizard card.
Yep I am aware, I guess that is why you don’t see the Chinese singles cards very often. Good to know though!
I have bought cards from Shopee Taiwan (shopee.tw) when I can’t find them on eBay, the forwarding service I used was Two Tree Team.
It’s a bit pricey if you are just looking to buy a few singles but I found the process pretty straight forward.
My first thought was “why would anyone want to collect fake pokemon cards” but then I realized you were talking about Chinese language cards.
Lol some people do and you can find plenty of good/funny fakes in English (see Caterpie Ex). The Chinese language boxes and sleeves are pretty cool too.
@wei, Shopee Taiwan is probably best for new single cards; sometimes you can check tw.carousell.com/ but the selection is far less in my experience. Good luck!
I use beehive.tcg for my most of my Chinese cards using middleman site superbuy.com
Also used shopee.tw once using letsgobuy-tw.com as a middleman
Never had any problems with either
Thanks! I will check those out. Just curious, if you buy a lot of singles from those sites, will they charge you a package combine fee? How are the fees overall?
From what I remember they don’t charge for combining packages. Fees are low, shipping was about £25 to the UK, will likely vary a fair bit depending on the weight though
