Trading Card Blog

Welcome to the Magic TCG trading card blog. We write clear, UK-focused guides to the sets we sell, from Pokémon card lists and release dates to buying advice for One Piece, Disney Lorcana and Labubu. Every guide links straight to the sealed products it covers, so you can read up and then start collecting.

What you will find on our trading card blog

Our guides answer the questions collectors ask most when a new set arrives.

  • Set guides: what a set is, what is in a pack and which products are worth buying.
  • Card lists and chase cards: every rarity explained, so you know which pulls to protect first.
  • Release dates and pre-orders: every product and date in one place, with tips for UK collectors.
  • Collecting advice: storing cards, keeping products sealed and choosing between languages.

Start with the Pokémon 30th Anniversary Set

Our first guides cover the biggest release of the year. Read the complete Pokémon 30th Anniversary Set guide, then go deeper with the 30th Anniversary Pokémon card list and the Pokémon 30th Anniversary release date guide. You can shop the whole range in our 30th Celebration collection.

Guides for every game we stock

One Piece Card Game booster box for our trading card blog guides

Pokémon comes first, but this trading card blog covers every game in the shop. Expect guides to One Piece cards, Disney Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering, Riftbound and collectables such as Labubu blind boxes, in English and in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean editions we stock.

How we write our guides

We check every date, product and card detail against official sources, such as the official Pokémon TCG website, before we publish. Card prices change quickly, so we do not quote market prices. Instead we explain what each product contains and who it suits, and we update guides when new information is announced.

How often do you publish new guides?

We add new guides as sets are announced and released, starting with the biggest releases.

Do your guides cover Japanese and Chinese cards?

Yes. Where a set is also available in Japanese, Chinese or Korean, we explain the differences and link to those editions.
