Great news for Pokémon TCG fans! We’ve just had a massive restock of Korean Pokémon cards arrive at We Love Collectibles, and the shelves are looking fantastic!
You might have noticed Korean Pokémon cards gaining traction in the community, and for good reason. This timely restock is the perfect opportunity to explore why these cards are becoming a popular choice for collectors and players alike, and to check out the specific sets now available right here in our Kent store and online.
Why Consider Korean Pokémon Cards?
The Growing Appeal
Many collectors are asking if Korean cards are worth it, and the answer for a growing number is a resounding yes! Their popularity stems from a few key advantages:
Affordability is a Major Draw
One of the most compelling reasons is the price. Korean Pokémon cards often come at a significantly lower cost than their Japanese or English counterparts. This greater affordability makes them an excellent way to experience the thrill of opening packs or to start a collection without a hefty initial investment. It directly addresses why Korean Pokémon cards can seem cheap compared to other languages – it’s about accessibility.
Identical, Stunning Artwork
Despite the price difference, Korean Pokémon cards feature the exact same beautiful and dynamic artwork found on the highly sought-after Japanese and English cards. You’re getting those incredible illustrations of your favourite Pokémon.
Expanding Availability
It’s becoming easier to find and buy Korean Pokémon cards in the UK, and WLC is excited to be a part of bringing this variety to you with our latest restock.
Perfect for Casual Play & Broad Collecting
If your primary joy comes from the gameplay itself or collecting a wide array of Pokémon art, Korean Pokémon cards deliver the full experience.
Korean vs. Japanese/English Cards:
Key Differences
While sharing the same core game and art, there are distinctions to be aware of:
- Language: Naturally, all text on Korean Pokémon cards – card names, attacks, abilities – is in Korean.
- Market Value Perception: The secondary market value for Korean Pokémon cards has traditionally been different from Japanese or English cards. However, as interest grows, this is an evolving aspect of the hobby.
- Pull Rate Considerations: When it comes to pull rates for the rarest cards, Korean booster boxes typically don’t offer the same guaranteed Secret Rare (SR) or higher pulls per box that some Japanese booster boxes do. This can mean a more varied opening experience, which many find exciting.
At WLC we have a few prized Korean Singles available – Glaceon VMAX Special Art | Korean Eevee Heroes Single Card & Mew ex – Pokemon 151 – 205/165 (Korean) – or, check out the rest of our singles archives here

Quality & Collectability
Many wonder about Korean Pokémon card quality. These are officially licensed Pokémon TCG products, printed to high standards. While minute differences in card stock or finish might be noted by discerning collectors when compared directly to Japanese prints, they remain authentic and are certainly worthy additions to any collection.
Importantly, Korean Pokémon cards are gradable by major services like PSA, confirming their legitimacy and collectible status. For some, the structure of Korean set releases can also make completing certain collections feel more attainable.
In essence, Korean Pokémon cards provide a budget-friendly and visually identical way to enjoy the Pokémon TCG. Whether you’re new to collecting, a seasoned player looking for more cards, or simply love the artwork, they offer a compelling alternative.
