Haven’t collected since I was a kid.
But my nephew is 7 now and wanting to collect modern cards, so I’m going to have a go at collecting the older sets.
Both TopSun and Carddass.
While I attempt a set at “average” grade, I’d like to try getting my hands on bulk lots of POOR grade cards, simply so I can build a POOR set, while I take the time locating the “AVERAGE” grade set cards.
I am hating eBay right now, with minimal poor condition sales, and those I’m finding at $8-15 a card!
I’m hoping there are some Japanese seller sites or forums I may be able to utilise, to buy direct from them in bulk, rather than dealing with those who have already bought a bunch and are now selling them at huge mark ups.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Japanese websites/forums?
Yes that’s what I’m looking for.
I want to be able to go direct to sellers in Japan, and google should translate well enough for me, plus photos, and I can simply use a currency converter too if needed.
As I said I’m just after bulk TopSun and Carddass cards in bad condition to build a POOR condition set while I search for cards in ok/average condition for a good set.
I am not a seller.
However, there are shops in Japan that sell many Top Confectionery cards.
I think it would be good to purchase through services like “Buyee”.
I recommend using buyee to shop on mercari.jp and yahoo auctions.
You generally have 1 month to buy as much as you want before paying for shipping and protective packaging, which often adds around $100usd on top of whatever you bought.
Look for the first listing that’s a large lot, and then once you’ve bought that supplement it with whatever else you find before the month ends.
Good luck!
