Vintage sealed Pokémon, from private hands.

The sealed boxes of the early years no longer sit in any distributor's warehouse. They sit in private collections in Europe, Japan and North America, and they change hands quietly. We reach those collections on your behalf.

Vintage

Where the early boxes are.

Vintage sealed product is a private market: no listings, no retail, no distributor stock. Access depends on relationships with holders who do not advertise. We approach them directly, negotiate on your behalf and verify every unit before you decide.

Delivery worldwide. Dubai and the United States are our home markets, and we deliver fully insured to collectors in any other country as well.

What we source

  • Sealed booster boxes from the earliest English and Japanese sets
  • Sealed boxes of later vintage sets that have left retail entirely
  • Sealed packs in quantity, where boxes are not available

Verification is everything

With vintage product, the seal is the value. We photograph the shrink pattern, seams, box edges and any stamps in detail, and we describe every mark honestly before you commit. Where authenticity cannot be established beyond doubt, we say so and walk away. What you approve is what ships, insured for its full value.

How it works for you

Send the request by form, e-mail or WhatsApp. We locate the product and issue one all-in quote covering product, insured delivery and handling. You receive photographs of the exact units, approve and settle by bank transfer or cryptocurrency. The consignment is packed for high value, insured for full value and handed to DHL Express, UPS or a dedicated courier. You sign for it at your door.

Vintage sealed boxes are high-value items; engagements are typically well above our USD 5,000 minimum.

How long does a vintage search take?

Longer than current product, from days to a few weeks, depending on how rare the item is. We keep you informed throughout.
