The Card Valley Story
Card Valley is a small independent business that started in 2024.
In all honesty, the store is run by one person with another full time job. I have no desire to ‘get rich quick’ and as a long time collector of Pokemon cards, I am finally doing something that I’m passionate about, and putting quite a lot of effort into it as well. As with everything, money is a barrier to a lot of things, but now I feel I can really invest some of my own into this.
If you’re here at the start of this journey, you’ll probably notice that most of the products on sale are Pokémon products. That’s because I’ve been collecting since the Base Set was released in 1999. My collection isn’t huge and it certainly isn’t complete, but I’m hoping I can help everyone else complete, start and expand whichever sets they’re collecting. As I said, money is always a barrier and it’s going to take time to build this up to where I want it to be, and I’d be over the moon if you wanted to help by buying something from Card Valley.
This is a passion project and I’m simply trying to grow a brand and create something that the community can rely on. The dream is to have my own brick and mortar store, so I thought I would start off small. My local area has no TCG shops, which is an absolute tragedy, and with how popular TCG is becoming, I feel this is the right time for me to start to build something.
I’m just one person so I’m probably not going to have the biggest discounts or the fanciest website, but I will always offer my products at the fairest prices I can. I’m a collector, like you, and I want to treat every one of our customers the way in which I’d want to be treated. I’d really appreciate your understanding and support, so don’t forget to check out the social links and rate us on Trust Pilot if you can!
I have no idea how this will go. I don’t really know how to run a business, but I’ll give it my best shot
