Cardceus

Cardceus is a card shop at 3201 1st Ave S, Suite 103, in Seattle, built around Pokémon and Disney Lorcana. It pairs a physical storefront with a large singles inventory and a regular live-stream giveaway program, which makes it a fit for collectors who want a store that is as much about the community as the counter.

What's on the shelves

Pokémon and Disney Lorcana are the two games the store carries. Pokémon is split between English and Japanese product, and the store also stocks Funko Pops and card supplies.

Lorcana singles are a particular focus. The store opens Lorcana packs often, which leaves thousands of individual cards available. Every single is graded Near Mint, placed in a sleeve and top loader, and sealed with Hobby Armor before it ships, so a card arrives in the condition it came out of the pack. Prices run from 50 cents for most commons and uncommons up to several dollars for super rares and about $30 for the priciest legendaries.

For collectors chasing something specific, the store runs a finding service called MystiFind: tell the owners which dream card or collection you are after, and they will hunt for it through a network of manufacturers and local card shops. The pricing approach is fair rather than rock-bottom, and the owners do not promise the lowest prices anywhere.

Live streams and giveaways

The store runs free live streams built around giveaways. The rules are unusual for the hobby: nothing in the store can be bought for a live opening, and products purchased from the store are never opened on stream. Whatever is opened goes into giveaways, from daily draws to monthly ones. Daily winners must be present in the stream, while monthly winners do not have to be watching when the drawing happens.

Winners in the US get their prizes shipped at no cost, and international winners get 50 percent off shipping, with a small fee possible. Winners can also have cards graded through PSA or CGC at no charge. To claim a prize, a winner creates an account with the store and enters shipping details there.

Store policies

The store's online catalog is currently being rebuilt, so some features may be unavailable or temporarily disabled while the physical store stays open and fully operational. A filtering system for the Lorcana singles listing is planned but not yet running; for now, searching is the way to find a specific card.

Getting there

The store sits at 3201 1st Ave S, Suite 103, Seattle, WA 98134, in a suite-style unit rather than a standalone building.

History and community

The store grew out of its owner's collecting life, which began with an old Pokémon demo pack and spread into trading cards, art, Star Wars and vintage toys. The name nods to Arceus, the original Pokémon, and the aim is a store for collectors of every stripe, from pros to rookies. A monthly interview show called Degeneration Y, with one guest per episode, is planned.
