Pokemon Card Trade-Ins

Wondering where to sell Pokemon cards or trade in your old collection? TCYM's Pokemon card trade-in scheme lets you exchange bulk common cards for sealed packs or art rare cards, quickly and easily.

How the Trade-In Scheme Works

Our standard trade-in bundle is simple: trade in 100 Pokemon cards (excluding energy cards, trainer cards, and code cards) for your choice of either one sealed pack or one art rare card per bundle.

  1. Apply for acceptance Fill out our web form or message us on Instagram to request a trade-in. Let us know how many 100-card bundles you would like to trade in, and how many packs versus art rare cards you would like per bundle (for example, 1 Korean pack or 1 Korean art rare per bundle).
  2. Get your acceptance code Once your trade-in request is accepted, we will send you a unique acceptance code. Write this code on the outside of your parcel box before posting.
  3. Post your cards to us Package your cards securely and post them to our office, with the acceptance code clearly written on the box.
  4. We check and confirm Once your cards arrive, our team checks the bundle to confirm the card count and eligibility.
  5. We post out your packs or cards We post out your chosen packs or art rare cards. Packs and art rares are always an assorted selection, and will usually vary across different bundles, sets, and regions unless you are trading in a high quantity.

What You Can Trade In

Standard bundles 100 Pokemon cards (no energy, trainer, or code cards) per bundle, exchanged for 1 sealed pack or 1 art rare card of your choice per bundle.
Other sealed products and single cards We also accept other sealed Pokemon products and individual cards for trade-in. These are priced individually, so get in touch via the web form or Instagram for a custom quote.
