The Pokémon card you still want.
That one missing binder slot has a name, a set and a number. Tell us which card it is. We’re testing whether independent shops across Europe can help collectors finish the hunt.
Wanted Desk is in research. Sending a file starts a conversation; it is not an order or a promise that we can find the card.

“Charizard ex from Paldean Fates” could mean different cards. The official Pokémon checklist includes both of these:
If it’s the Special Illustration Rare you want, 234/091 makes that clear. See the official card entry.
Make the missing card unmistakable.
Here is how a precise Pokémon request could read. This is an example from the official card database, not a live customer case or an available card.
- Similar names can hide different printings.
- Condition changes what counts as a match.
- A budget tests whether the request is purchase intent.
A missed card is a missed customer.
A Pokémon card can have several artworks, printings and languages. We’re studying the requests that disappear after a collector asks for a copy a shop does not have: which exact card, acceptable condition and real budget.
Capture the real request
Record the precise card, acceptable condition and price ceiling while the collector still intends to buy.
Source through the shop
Use incoming collections, dealer relationships and existing inventory to find a suitable copy.
Close the loop
The shop contacts the buyer, handles checkout and records whether the request became a paid order.
A collector’s exact ask, ready for your shop.
We’re inviting independent Pokémon card shops in the UK and EU that buy collections and sell singles. In a small assisted pilot, we would bring precise requests with condition, budget and country; the shop would decide which hunts to take, inspect the copy and make the sale through its own checkout. We would measure completed sales and staff time before charging for anything.
Discuss the pilot by emailKnow a Pokémon card hunt we should hear about?
Collectors: tell us about the card that has stayed on your list. Shop owners: tell us about requests that leave when the copy is not in your case. We’ll reply in writing.
