About Us
We founded APLA Cards after having a bad day at work and opening our first pack of Pokemon cards since we were children. It was the 2013 Legendary Treasures collection and we managed to pull an ultra rare gold card. We were both instantly filled with that childhood excitement and we wanted to bring that joy back to others and decided to open our own store.
​
At first we sold off spares from our own collections and bid on bundles of cards hoping for that shadowless Charizard (Spoilers: We never got it).
We soon reached out to manufacturers and distributors and managed to expand our range of products.
We have been trading since 2014 and have sold over 20,000 Pokemon products. We love hearing from our customers and want to spread the joy of opening cards to all.
