Limited Releases in Paris: We Queue, Buy Within the Rules and Send It to You

When a museum in Paris released limited edition collectible cards, five collectors abroad wrote to us. The shop allowed one purchase per person. Five people from our team queued from the early morning, each one buying for one collector, and every card was photographed and sent the same week.

That is the rule we follow every time: one person per allowed purchase, the shop's limits respected, nothing resold.

A rare French card listed by a seller in Paris, inspected in person before purchase for a collector in Tokyo. A check of whether a launch product is still available the morning it comes out. Several purchases from different shops consolidated into one shipment.

The release, the shop and the opening time, how many items and for how many people, the budget, and where each item goes. If the shop sells out, you are told at once and nothing is charged for the items.
