My Full Pokémon Setup (Everything I Use for Streaming, Packing & Collecting)
Intro - Save this page for when you need to re-stock
If you’re trying to get into Pokémon breaks, collecting, or selling, the hardest part is knowing what to buy, and where from.
There’s so much random advice out there… and most of it is either overkill or completely unnecessary.
So instead, here’s my exact setup 👇
Everything I actually use — no guesswork.

🧠 Organisation & Setup
If you’re doing volume, this matters more than anything.

👆 2 - Wall Sorting System - Ikea Skadis Range of Peg Boards & Tins - Same as before, but the wall system - I use the top row (on the left) for customers A, 2nd row is B etc - [Link]

Storage Boxes - Deck Boxes

🧪 Grading Cards with Ace Grading
When I pull something valuable, I prepare the card in a toploader and send it to ACE Grading [LINK] - Use code SAM every time you submit your cards for 5% off
I use Ace Grading for a number of reasons:
- Awesome clear slabs
- Add value to the raw card
- Have Ace Labels - Match the art of the card
- Fast turnaround
- An online portal to track the status of the cards
- Pay once they've been graded
- Multiple price points based on speed & turnaround
- UK-based grading company
- Great for Pokémon / One Piece collectors
💡 If you’re holding hits, grading is where the real value jump happens.
