About us

An independent card shop, for collectors and players.

Pulse Collective is a trading card store based in Manchester. We stock sealed product, singles and accessories for Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Disney Lorcana and Star Wars Unlimited — and we host weekly events for every game we sell.

Why we exist

We started Pulse Collective because we wanted the kind of card shop we always wished we had — fairly priced, properly stocked, with a community that welcomes total beginners just as warmly as long-time grinders. Whether you're after a £4 booster pack or hunting a vintage chase card, you'll get the same care.

What we sell

• Sealed product: booster boxes, ETBs, tins, structure decks and starter decks.
• Singles: a constantly-rotating binder of Pokémon and other TCG singles.
• Accessories: sleeves, binders, playmats, deck boxes and toploaders from Dragon Shield, Ultimate Guard, Ultra PRO and more.
• Pre-orders: every major Pokémon set, plus MTG, One Piece, Lorcana and Star Wars releases.

Trade-ins & buying collections

We buy Pokémon collections of all sizes — from a handful of vintage holos to entire bulk lots. Cash or store credit (store credit always gets the better rate). Bring your collection in or message us a photo for an indicative offer.

Events

We host weekly events for Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece TCG and Star Wars Unlimited, plus learn-to-play nights for total beginners. Check the events page for the current schedule.
