Hi guys - I think I’m going to pop to Japan in the summer, or an upcoming long weekend for a quick visit. If anyone has a list of shops to go card hunting (old stuff) that would be awesome. I’ve searched about on the internet, but haven’t found a definitive list of good shops that have heaps of old stuff to sift through. I’ll also keep people updated while I’m there, so I can pick stuff up for you guys. Thanks! ---

Also interested in this! I have done 2 Japan trips over the last 2 years and have only been to the Pokemon Centres (selling all the newer stuff) and would love to know find any of the older collectable shops for when i head back over in November. Most small places i found only sold Yu-Gi-Oh and MTG 🙁 ---

Someone bought cards for me from the manga store Mandarake. [www.mandarake.co.jp/en/shop/](http://www.mandarake.co.jp/en/shop/) ---

Not all Mandarakes have pokemon cards, but some do. ---
