Chapter I
The Collector
I started collecting the ordinary way: booster packs from shops, then single cards online. Then I discovered Japanese Pokémon cards — more textured, more exclusive, and from the country where it all began.
Chapter II
Japan
My collection pushed me to import directly, which let me build solid relationships with auction houses and local shops. Those relationships are what open the door to the most exclusive pieces, the ones the West rarely sees, as well as to recent releases in real quantity.
Chapter III
What Was Missing
When I started, finding cards was easy. Finding somewhere safe was not. The reliable sites offered little choice, the ones with choice inspired little trust, and prices rarely followed the market. Treasure Tales is where that road led, and the answer I wish I had found: from the most popular card to the rarest, in one place, at a fair price.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where do the cards come from?
From Japanese shops and auction houses I work with directly.
What is the security seal for?
It protects both sides. For you, it proves the card you receive is exactly the one that was packed, with no possible handling between packaging and delivery. For me, it makes it impossible for a card to be swapped and then sent back. The packing is filmed in full before the parcel is handed to the carrier: the intact seal is what ties that video to what you open.
Will I pay customs fees?
Orders ship from France. Within the European Union, no customs duties or import fees apply: you pay what is displayed. Outside the EU, the destination country may apply its own taxes, payable by the recipient.
Why do shipping costs change from one order to another?
Outside the free-shipping zone, a single International Tracked Delivery rate applies, shown at checkout for your destination: €22.90 to the United Kingdom, €29.90 to Norway, €40 to the United States and Canada. The parcel is tracked and insured whatever the amount, and the destination country may add its own import taxes.
