Nice you managed to get a Tag Team GX. I think it is a fun set and having some cards in Korean will be awesome. Thanks for sharing your haul.
Cheers!

Just got back from Seoul visiting family and thought to list some of the card shops I dropped by in case others may want visit if they are in Seoul.
I. Kindle Shop
- Location: Near Seongsu (trendy, hipster cafe/fashion area of Seoul)
- Highlights: MTG focused, some cool sealed Pokémon product
The Kindle shop in the Gwangjin District of Seoul located on the 4th floor of a standard commercial building by Achasan Road. Funnily, they were all sold out of Korean Eevee heroes, 151, Terastal Festival, Glory of Team Rocket etc.
The standout thing to me was the showcase of vintage Korean MTG/Magic The Gathering cards. They had cards from classic sets such as the Urza block, Stronghold, Weatherlight etc.
II. Card Kingdom
- Location: Fairly near Myeongdong / Namdaemun Market
- Highlights: Yu-Gi-Oh focused, smallish amount of Korean Pokémon boxes
Located on the 4th floor of the LK block. Smallest shop of the ones I visited but quite a cozy feel. Definitely yugioh focused with some Pokémon offerings. Similarly, Korean Eevee heroes, 151, Terastal Festival were all sold out
III. Card Nyang
- Location: Gangnam district
- Highlights: Predominantly Pokémon, mainly Kor product, with some Jpn
The most spacious shop of the lot. For me it also had the nicest decor being very brightly lit and well segregated areas in the shop for players and people just wanting to browse.
In terms of Pokémon product, pretty much standard selection of mainly Korean boosters (much like the other shops, Eevee heroes, 151, Terastal Festival were all sold out)
IV. Card Hobby
- Location: Gangdong district
- Highlights: Korean vintage and trophies
Finally, paid the visit to my friend’s shop in Gangdong area. This shop is located on the 2nd floor and so far to my knowledge, best place in Seoul to visit if you are interested in looking at older Korean cards and trophies.
Some of the B&W graded cards and trophies on display
And this super cool ADV deck
