Trading Cards at Baldwin’s
As well as our long-standing specialism in traditional fields of collection, famously, philately and numismatics, we are committed to providing the same exceptional service, expert guidance and auction experience for more contemporary pop-culture collectibles – from comics and trading cards to video games, with even more new categories to come.
We specialise in
Pokémon TCG
The Pokemon Trading Card Game, based on the globally popular Pokémon franchise created by Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori, was first published in 1996 by Nintendo. Given its rich history and enthusiastic global fanbase, we regularly see rare and remarkable items at our auctions.
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Developed by the famous Japanese game developer, Konami, and based on the work of Manga artist Jazuki Takahashi, this collectible card game celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2023, providing a wealth of iconic and unusual cards available in our specialist auctions.
Magic: the Gathering
Widely regarded as the first game to truly popularise trading cards, Magic: The Gathering has approximately 35 million active players worldwide. Developed in 1993 by the famous role-playing games publisher Wizards of the Coast, this is a popular and often surprising category at auction.
