Add details (optional — budget, condition, deadline)

Free and non-binding. We reply with a sourcing report — you buy directly from the listings if you like what you see. We read this Tokyo time (Mon–Fri, 10:00–19:00 JST) and reply within one working day. Your details are used to answer this request and nothing else.

What happens after you send

  1. 1We check real availability in Japan — Mercari, Yahoo Auctions and shops — and price it at today's rates
  2. 2You get a report: the exact listings, yen + dollar prices, condition notes and the routes that ship to you
  3. 3You buy directly through the links (proxy or eBay) — our job is finding the best route and telling you

Send it to us when…

  • The card never got an English release
  • It's a Japan-only promo, event or tournament card
  • Your want list is a pile of cheap singles, where per-item proxy fees stack up fastest
  • You want someone who reads Japanese to check the listing's condition notes before you buy
  • You've tried and the listing simply won't ship to your country

Not sure a proxy would be worse? We publish the fee comparison and don't hide the cases where a proxy wins — see the proxy fee breakdown.

Tokyo Sourcing Desk

Chasing a specific Japanese single, sealed box or promo — and not sure where it's actually in stock, what it really costs, or which route will ship it to you? Tell us what you're hunting. We check the Japanese market and send you a sourcing report, free.

How it works

1
Tell us what you wantCard name, set, number, condition, quantity — and your country. One card or a whole list.
2
We check the Japanese marketMercari, Yahoo Auctions and Japanese card shops — the live listings, not stale price guides. We identify the exact Japanese card (set code, mirror variants, promo numbering) and read the condition notes so you don't have to.
3
You get a private reportEach item with the listings we'd pick, prices in yen and US dollars, an all-in estimate including proxy fees and tracked shipping, and the routes that ship to your country. Usually within one working day.
4
You buy directlyThrough Buyee, eBay or the shop itself, straight from the links in your report — whichever route we worked out is actually best for what you're after.

What we can find

Why it's free

We're based in Japan and cover this market daily for Tokyo Card Report, so the checking is work we already do. Some of the routes in a report — Buyee and eBay — pay us a small commission if you buy through their links. That never changes the price you pay, and it never changes which listing we recommend: reports are built on price, condition and availability, and we say so when a route we don't earn from is the better one.

Fair-play notes

Listings on Mercari and Yahoo Auctions move fast — a report is a snapshot of the day we checked, and a listing can sell before you get there (reply and we'll find another). We don't hold or resell allocation of unreleased products, and for lottery-only releases we'll tell you plainly which routes are open to overseas buyers. Import duties and taxes in your country, if any, are the buyer's responsibility.

The Sourcing Desk is a free service operated by the Tokyo Card Report team. Reports may contain affiliate links (Buyee, eBay); we may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. This does not affect our editorial coverage: guides and comparisons on this site (including proxy service reviews) are written independently, and we say so in our editorial policy.
