FAQ
Does Amazon sell official Pokémon cards?
Yes when sold by « Amazon » or an authorized reseller. Beware third-party sellers with few reviews selling ETBs at -30% market price.
Amazon vs specialty store pricing: who wins?
Amazon is competitive on in-stock ETBs (sometimes MSRP). Specialty stores win on local promos and advice. Compare on rateTCG before every purchase.
How to spot a suspicious third-party seller?
Red flags: ETB price < $40, unknown seller, « factory sealed » without real photos, recent negative reviews mentioning resealed or counterfeit product.
Is Amazon reliable for singles?
Less reliable than marketplace platforms for singles — higher counterfeit risk. Use Amazon for official sealed product, Cardmarket/eBay (top-rated) for individual cards.
