First edition Base Set cards are blue-chip collectibles. Get anything potentially worth $100+ graded before selling.

Where to Source Trading Cards (Pokemon) in Australia

Op shops and garage sales occasionally surface old collections. Facebook groups and local card shops are where singles trade. Sealed vintage packs are extremely valuable but rare. Modern sets from Big W and newsagents can contain chase cards worth multiples of pack price.

Photography Tips for Trading Cards (Pokemon)

Photograph front and back in even lighting without glare. Show edges, corners, and surface condition clearly. Use a dark background for holos. Place the card in a top loader before photographing to demonstrate care. For graded cards, show the slab label clearly.

Shipping Tips

Australia Post Parcel Post with tracking is the go-to for most items. Budget $10-15 for standard-sized parcels.
Poly mailers work for clothing and soft goods — they're lighter and cheaper to post than boxes.
For rigid items, use a box with at least 2cm of padding on all sides. Newspaper works in a pinch, but bubble wrap is better.
Print labels at home if you're shipping regularly — it saves time at the post office and gives you tracking automatically.
Offer combined shipping if you sell multiple items. Buyers appreciate the discount and you save on packaging.
Always get proof of postage. A tracking number or Australia Post receipt is your only defence in a delivery dispute.
