The card shop
Singles. Graded. Sealed.
Binders and cases of singles, slabs checked for tampering, and boxes and packs for opening. Priced from UK sales, described straight, and the price on the label is the price.
Singles
The one you need, not a whole box
Singles live in binders and cases. Every card is priced from current UK market prices and recent UK sales, then adjusted for condition and demand. Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Lorcana: ask about the game you are after.
- Priced from UK sales, not a guess
- Condition marked on the card, between two grades we use the lower
- The price shown is the price, VAT included, no haggling on marked prices
Condition scale
Honest grading
Raw cards are graded in store on four steps, with Damaged below that. If a card sits between two grades, it gets the lower one. Condition is described as we see it, and our grading is our own opinion.
Near Mint
Looks fresh from the pack. Little to no wear you can see without hunting for it.
Lightly Played
Minor wear: light edge whitening or a faint scuff. Plays and displays well.
Moderately Played
Clear wear on edges, corners or surface. Still a solid card for play.
Heavily Played
Heavy wear, creases possible. Priced to match, and honest about it.
Damaged cards are labelled as damaged. Full detail in the pricing and grading policy.
Hold one
Tilt it. Catch the light.
These cards are artwork made for this site. They are not stock.
Graded cards
Slabs, checked
Graded cards are priced by grading company and grade, because a 10 from one company is not a 10 from another. Every slab is checked for tampering before we sell it, and any slab we buy gets the same look.
- Priced by company and grade
- Checked for tampering, fakes and reprints refused
- Bring yours to sell, we make one fair offer
Sealed product
Boxes, packs and new releases
Booster boxes and packs for opening at the table upstairs or keeping shut on a shelf. Limited allocations of hot releases go to GG Guild members as drops, at RRP, one per member per drop.
- Drops at RRP for Guild members, collected within the window, normally 7 days, with photo ID
- No reselling drop product for profit within 90 days
- Not a member yet? Ask what is in

Questions
Cards, answered
How do you price singles?
From current UK market prices and recent UK sales, adjusted for condition and demand. The price shown is the price, including VAT. We do not haggle on marked prices.
What do Near Mint and Lightly Played mean?
They are steps on our raw card condition scale: Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played, Heavily Played, then Damaged. If a card sits between two grades we use the lower one.
How do you check graded cards?
Graded slabs are checked for tampering before we buy or sell them. They are priced by grading company and grade. Fakes, reprints and tampered items are refused.
Can I get new releases at RRP?
Sometimes. Guild members can enter member drops: limited allocations at RRP, not guaranteed for every member, one per member per drop unless we say otherwise, by first come or random draw, and the method is announced up front. Collect within the window, normally 7 days, with photo ID. Read the drops policy.
Do you buy cards?
Yes. Bring them in and we make one fair offer, explained if you ask. Offers are valid on the day. You need photo ID and must be 18 or over, or bring a parent or guardian with their own ID. See selling to us.
Can under-18s trade cards upstairs?
Trades between customers are private. Under-18s may not trade high-value cards without a parent present. See the gaming room rules.
