About

TCG Strategy is a local, independent Pokémon card business built around showing up to the shows that matter in the Seattle and Puget Sound area. We're not online-only and we're not a generic hobby shop — we're a physical presence at the events you already go to.

We handle buying, selling, and trading at vendor tables, with a focus on getting people fair deals that make sense for their situation. Whether you're cleaning out a binder, selling a slab you've had sitting around, or looking to pick up something specific — find us at the next show.

Common Questions
How do you price cards?
Prices are based on TCGPlayer market prices, eBay last solds, and Card Ladder data. We look at recent sales to get a fair picture — not just current listings — and work from there.
Do you buy collections?
Yes. Singles, slabs, binders, sealed product, and full collections. Bring what you have — we'll go through it together.
What should I bring?
Photos or a list of what you have are always helpful — especially for larger collections. Raw cards and slabs both accepted. If you have abinder or box, bring the whole thing and we'll go through it together. Cash is preferred but we can work with Venmo, Zelle, or card too.
Do you take trades?
Depends on the card and what you're looking for. Bring your collection and we can talk it through.
Can I pay by card?
Cash preferred. Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, and card are all options — just ask us at the table.
How do I find your table at a show?
We'll post our booth number on the event page as the show date gets closer. Typically visible 1–2 weeks before the show.
