The store will be OPEN tomorrow!

I'll be putting in more Mondays as we get nearer to the Christmas (it's not that far folks) so you have SIX days to come and pick up your games, models, paints, cards and singles!

Looking forward to seeing you even more... No, honestly.

The AardCore Market is now live (and I posted the first card so you guys can't fight over who gets to be first). You will need to be subscribed to the Singles Store or Collector to access the Market, and this is BETA so feel free to report any issues.

Other than that, you choose the price you want to sell at and you have a readymade audience of collectors to pitch too.

All card games are welcome, obviously Pokemon will initially have the most people looking. Keep listings to 2-3 at a time for now.

We reserve the right to remove any sale, or block users with inappropriate usernames (except mine. mine gets a pass).

Have fun.

To all those who queued at Smyths for 12 hours to tag the handful of Pokemon Boxes, we salute you. You are AardCore.

We just sent out a box full of invites to our One Piece Collector App Subscribers.

If you were not subscribed or did not opt-in to marketing mails you will not have received the invite. Just in case you are checking your Spam Box in case we somehow magically sent an email to someone who opted out of marketing...

All packs are RRP.

Collect. Track. Dominate.

So, this is like... 11 cards?

Grand Archive is here! We finally have a release fresh set of Starters and Boosters to give this game a proper shout in Stoke on Trent.

Starters are just £12 which is a great way to introduce your group to the game without breaking the bank.

As with any game it needs your support to make it work locally. If you are an existing player and love the system, guide anyone interested them to us and we can get them fired up.

What’s a Price Alert?

A big thanks to existing members for posting their LOVES AND LIKES of the App. Make sure to add yours to the post, there’s a pack waiting to be picked up!

Meanwhile we continue to polish the Collector with fantastic features, and soon Magic the Gathering will be ready to unlock.

With the MTG database being so vast making the search feature work smoothly and quickly was paramount. This week I’ve been working on fine tuning this AND I added all of the Collector Booster Sets to the DB.

Pricing is in place (USA) and I’m looking to offer multiple market options (EU\UK Blended Valuation\Graded) via our Pro sub.

No more guessing what cards you need, easily determine which is the best price path to set completion.

Instantly hook into the Store Stock

And coming soon PRO, Price Alerts. Get notified when a card enters the store, set price change windows, log your base and max buy preferences.

Finally, coming VERY soon, AardCore Market. For our Pro Users an opportunity to securely and safely sell your own cards.
