1. Do I need an appointment to visit The Poké Court?

Nope! Walk right in. Just tell the front desk that you have an appointment with us when you sign in.

2. What are your hours? Are you really not open on weekends?

We're open Monday - Friday from 12:00PM ET - 5:30PM ET. Unfortunately, the building we're located in has limited public hours and is not open on the weekends.

3. Help! I can't find you...

We know our location can be a bit tricky to find. We're located within a larger co-working space called Spaces so you won't see any signs for The Poké Court from the street. Once you're inside Spaces and have signed in at the front desk, take the elevator to the second floor and turn left immediately out of the elevator. We're in the hallway just past the second floor reception desk.

You can also watch this video showing how to find us after entering Spaces.

We generally purchase cards at 60-80% of the market value depending on condition and rarity. (Market value is based on sources such as TCGPlayer, eBay, PriceCharting, etc.). Please reference the table below for what we're buying at this time.

• We're happy to chat over Instagram or email about the items you're interested in selling, ballpark pricing, etc. but all deals must be done in person at our NYC location.
• We're only interested in buying English or Japanese product at this time.

1. Can I submit my cards for grading through The Poké Court? How much does it cost?

Yes, we offer PSA grading submission services! For more info about the process, pricing, etc., check out our PSA Submission Service page.

2. Is my card worth grading?

There are a couple of factors that can help determine whether your card is worth grading:

• Personal Preference - If you have a favorite card that you're looking to authenticate, protect, memorialize, etc. for your personal collection, then our opinion is that it's always worth getting it graded ☺️
• Graded Value - Take a look at eBay or PriceCharting for the current value of a PSA 9 or 10 for the card(s) you're interested in grading and if that value isn't high enough to offset the grading fee, then generally we would not recommend grading.
• Card Condition - Card condition can be difficult and subjective to judge. There are 4 condition categories by which PSA judges your cards and the closer to perfect across those categories your card is, the higher it will score. Generally if your card looks like it'll score less than a PSA 9, we don't recommend grading (vintage cards can be an exception). We're happy to take a look at your card in person, but please understand that we aren't PSA graders and can't guarantee what grade your card will get.

1. Can I do a collaboration with you or host an event in your shop?

Let's chat! We've hosted various content creators, as well as Rip 'n Ship events with streamers, before and are definitely open to more. Reach out to us on Instagram or by email and we can discuss details.
