What Is Card Rush, and Can You Buy Cards from It in Thailand?

Card Rush is a Tokyo card shop that splits its site into a section per card line: Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh and more. It does not ship outside Japan, but you can send the link to a Tama-Chan admin and have it ordered for you.

What is Card Rush?

Card Rush is the card shop of RUSH, based in Soto-Kanda, Tokyo, with four stores: three in Akihabara and one in Ikebukuro.

The site has one section per game. The blue menu at the top switches between Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Duel Masters and Magic. Every section looks the same, but each has its own search box, so searching for a Pokémon card from the Yu-Gi-Oh! section finds nothing; switch sections first.

Online stock is separate from the stores. A card on the shelf in Akihabara is not necessarily orderable online, and store staff do not handle online orders.

What does Card Rush sell?

Card Rush focuses on singles, from everyday playables to expensive rares, plus PSA10 graded cards and a discounted damaged corner for players.

It also sells booster boxes, the shop's own packs, lucky bags, supplies and non-Japanese promo cards.

Most expensive cards are single copies; if one disappears from the site, someone has bought it.

How do you read card condition at Card Rush?

Card Rush puts condition in the product name, as a bracket with the word for condition and a letter, such as condition B. If the name has no such bracket, the card is condition A.

Condition A is not mint: small scratches or a few white specks on the edges are allowed. Better cards are marked S, used only for popular or expensive cards. Below A come A- (between A and B), B (still fine to play), C (creases, dents or light water damage) and D (heavily damaged).

Booster boxes carry a condition too, and a graded card noted as having a condition issue means the slab is damaged. There is more in how Japanese shops describe condition.

Can you order from Card Rush yourself in Thailand?

No. Card Rush only ships within Japan and does not ship abroad.

Two more rules matter. Buying 5 or more of the same card may get the quantity cut or the sale refused, and the shop does not allow cancellations because the market price moved; frequent cancellers get banned.

So an order cannot be undone. If you are torn between two cards, decide before you send them to the admin.

Ordering from Card Rush through Tama-Chan

Tama-Chan can order from Card Rush for you. Found the card you want? Send its link to an admin on LINE, or just tell the admin which card you want and its card number, and they will find it for you. The team checks the price and stock, then quotes a baht total before you commit.

If you give a card name, say which condition you want too, because the same card is listed several times by condition at very different prices.

Rates are on the service fee table, and shipping to Thailand is on the shipping page.

Frequently asked questions

Not mint. A card with no condition bracket is condition A, which can have small scratches or white specks on the edges. For the cleanest copies, look for S.
