FAQ
Are Chinese Pokémon cards official?
Yes. Simplified-Chinese Pokémon TCG product is published by Pokémon Shanghai Toy Limited, a direct subsidiary of The Pokémon Company — not a third-party licensee. The cards are printed in Japan on the same card stock and with the same holo treatments as Japanese product.
How do I know the boxes are authentic?
Official Simplified-Chinese boxes carry anti-counterfeit features: an embossed security stamp, holographic serial numbers, and Poké Ball-motif shrink wrap. We source sealed cases from official mainland-China distribution only and ship them with those features intact — never resealed or aftermarket product.
Why do collectors buy Simplified-Chinese sets specifically?
World-exclusive cards. Sets like Brilliant Illusions (csv8C) and True Mystery (csv6C) contain secret-rare artwork — the Carmine SAR, the Iron Hands ex SAR — that exists in no Japanese, English or Korean printing. The all-holo Gem Pack line is also unique to China.
How does a pre-order work if there's no payment on the site?
You tell us the sets, quantities and your country; we reply by email with confirmed availability, a price, and shipping options. Nothing is committed until you confirm by email, and payment is arranged then — the website itself never takes your card details.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly. Single boxes go by tracked courier and wholesale volume goes by freight, worldwide. Import duties and taxes for your country are your responsibility; we declare shipments accurately.
Do you sell to stores?
Yes — wholesale by the sealed case is the core of the business. Per-case pricing, freight shipping and first allocation on new releases for card shops and retailers. Request pricing on the wholesale page and you'll hear back the same day.
What is the minimum order for wholesale?
Wholesale is sold by the sealed case rather than by the box. Tell us which sets and how many cases you're after and we'll confirm what's available along with per-case pricing for your country. Collectors ordering single boxes should use the pre-order form instead.
Can you source sets that aren't listed on the site?
Usually, yes — older CSV expansions, Gem Pack Vol. 1, gift boxes and promo product can often be sourced on request. Write in with what you're after.
