Our Story: A Binder of Memories
As a collector since 1999 (with a brief decade and a half break), I know how valuable my cards are to me, not just in dollars, but in sentiment. I’m here to make sure every purchase lives up to those values.
I was the only one who collected Pokemon cards in my group of friends. I didn’t mind having my own thing, but I could never really talk about it with anyone.
With nothing to lose, I took a shot in the dark and started a YouTube Channel making silly Pokemon Card Opening videos, and a Pokemon Instagram account trying to find some like-minded people who I could share the experience with.
Shortly after, I met my lovely girlfriend, who I call Khaleesi, and we started collecting and bonding over opening cards together and sharing our collection, pulls, and artwork on our Instagram page. To our surprise, we found that the community was supportive, fun, and responsive!
However, when it comes to opening packs, you end up with a lot of duplicates - and with a hobby as costly as this one, duplicates add major inventory. I realized that other collectors could give these duplicates a home, and we could offer them on our own website and personally send them at a fair price.
So in 2024, we launched High Value Hobby to give fellow collectors an opportunity to buy our extra, near-mint cards, as well as the Japanese cards that aren’t as readily available. We thought we could also sell some of the sealed Japanese Booster Boxes and Booster packs that we already import from Japan.
So, High Value Hobby was born.
The thing is, we wanted to provide a unique, more collaborative experience—but with the same reliability and trust that we’d get from local hobby shops, and more.
I found that buying from my local hobby shop was awesome, but it lacked the personal touch that I would like as a collector.
We wanted to create a customized experience; so here’s the promise from Khaleesi and I:
If you found a Pokemon Card shop that provided you with carefully handled, authentic, factory-sealed product, actively stocked the exact cards you were looking for, and rewarded you with bonuses and discount codes just for purchasing, shipped your items to you fast and safely, and consistently maximized your collection dollars with every purchase…
Would you take me up on that promise?

What does “High Value Hobby” mean?
It is simply satisfying and brings a sense of contentment to open Pokémon Card packs with my girlfriend, family, and friends.
That is what makes Pokémon Cards “High Value” to me.
Personal Care With Every Order
All of our products—both sealed packs and individual cards—are stored carefully in my workspace, safely organized on strong shelving, and protected from harm.
When you order from High Value Hobby, I am the one personally handling your cards. I hand-pack each order to ensure that everything arrives as pristine as it came.
Having collected for years, I know the best ways to store, protect, and ship Pokémon cards and boxes. Rest assured, your cards are in collector-level hands!
