Membership
Watch for the card you want.
Tell us the card, grade and your ceiling price. We watch the Japanese market and let you know when a matching copy appears. A watch is a notice service: we tell you about the copy, and you decide whether to buy it through us. If you want us to actively hunt a card down, approach sellers and secure it for you, use Search.

Which plan is for you
- Free watch: try the service with one card.
- Watcher: hear about a match the moment we find it, before it sells.
- Watcher Plus: for collectors who buy regularly. The fee discount applies from your first paid month: on a ¥1,000,000 (about US$6,300) card it saves ¥10,000 (about US$63), more than three months of membership.
Who hears first
When a copy matches more than one request, we offer it in this order: Search clients first, with 24 hours to decide; then Watcher Plus members, then Watcher members, each with a 12-hour priority window; then free watchers. During your window we do not tell anyone else about the copy. Copies listed on public marketplaces can still be bought by other buyers in that time, so we cannot guarantee that a copy remains available.
How membership works
- Pay monthly at checkout by card or Shop Pay. All prices are charged in Japanese yen (JPY). US$ amounts are approximate, at ¥158 = US$1 (October 2026); your card issuer's exchange rate applies.
- Sign in with the email you used to join. While you are signed in, the Watcher Plus fee discount is applied automatically in the cart.
- Cancel any time from your account. Your membership stays active until the end of the month you have paid for. Fees already paid are not refunded.
- A watch is a notice when a matching copy appears. It is not a reservation or a promise that we can buy the card.
