Company details

  1. Trading Card Store

Written by the company

The Alt Reserve was built for collectors, by collectors. We created The Alt Reserve out of our love of Pokémon's nostalgia, art, strategy, and search for masses of people across multiple generations. That love is at the centre of everything we do. However, while we love Pokémon, we don't love seeing genuine fans pushed aside by mass-buying bots and scalpers who clear out store shelves only to list those items again at a much higher premium. This is not what this hobby is about. Pokémon should be accessible to the average person, fun for everyone, and fair to everyone. The Alt Reserve was created with the idea of being anti-scalpers. When we can, we provide equal access to our products, we set reasonable limits on highly sought-after items, and we are most interested in building long-term relationships with customers and not maximising short-term profits. We would prefer to build a long-standing community of repeat purchasers than try to obtain a profit by chasing quick profits. All products are collected by us and are handled with the respect that collectors expect. No short cuts will be taken, no artificial hype will be created. Products exist for true fans and for true Pokémon players and collectors, and we are here to serve the players, collectors, and investors who appreciate the art of Pokémon and people who remember the day they opened their first pack. This isn’t just a shop. It’s a reserve for the community.

Second purchase from The Alt Reserve

Second purchase from The Alt Reserve; brilliantly packaged yet again! Comes in really nice little cardboard boxes so the packs are well protected in transit, it was sent really quickly too! So glad I found this hidden gem of a TCG Store! I had numerous hits from the packs in my last order, so can confirm these are honest sellers who do not tamper with or weigh packs! Will be a happy returning customer again!

took a risk buying from here because there's no reviews and I've never seen this website before but I wanted to get pokemon for my children and the prices everywhere else aren’t justifiable for what you get, so I only bought 1 pack to see if this was legit and to my surprise it's completely real. The delivery was extremely fast and the team was really friendly and I even got a discount for my next purchase which I thought was generous. The packaging was nice and they even threw in a free mini pack in with the order which was a nice surprise. I’ll definitely be buying from here again.
