Why Moon Stone

The product price is the market price. The membership is the business.

Moon Stone is for Pokémon TCG collectors who want a better way to buy: prices pegged to a trusted third-party market reference, no Moon Stone product markup, free U.S. shipping, no buyer fees beyond applicable taxes, and a real person accountable for the order.

Where the business works The membership
01

Why I price against TCGplayer

Every collector already checks TCGplayer. It’s the open, live market: the number the whole hobby uses to know what a sealed box is actually worth today. So that’s the number I use too. Every box in the catalog is priced at its live TCGplayer market, and the market reference sits right next to the price.

There’s no “our price vs. their price,” no guessing, and no number I invented. You see the market on TCGplayer, and the market is what you pay. When it moves, the price moves with it, up or down, and prices refresh daily.

02

MSRP is appealing. Availability is the hard part.

Every collector would rather buy the right Pokémon TCG product at a clean retail price. The problem is that the products serious collectors want rarely behave that way for long: allocations get tight, drops sell out quickly, and the remaining supply moves into reseller channels.

Moon Stone does not pretend the market is not real. The goal is to make buying through that market cleaner: a visible third-party reference, no Moon Stone product markup above it, no buyer fees beyond applicable taxes, seal checks, and founder-direct support if something goes wrong.

03

So the membership carries the business

The membership is the operating layer: sourcing, shipping, fulfillment, drop access, support, and the systems behind the catalog. That lets the product price stay pegged to the market reference instead of carrying a Moon Stone markup. I make nothing on the product.

That is the trade: members pay for the buying infrastructure, then order catalog Pokémon TCG products at the market reference shown, with free U.S. shipping, no buyer fees beyond applicable taxes, and product checked before it ships.

What the membership actually gets you
—
Every catalog product tied to the market reference. TCGplayer Market Price when available; supplier list price labeled when there is no reliable market price.
—
Free U.S. shipping on member orders. No buyer fees beyond applicable taxes.
—
Seal-checked Pokémon TCG products. Sourced through trusted channels and checked before shipping.
—
Flexible 12-unit Moon Stone Membership access. Use units when it makes sense for your collection, including member-only limited drops while inventory lasts.
—
Founder-direct support. If something’s wrong, you reach me, not a queue.

A better way to buy Pokémon TCG.

That’s the idea: a daily market reference, no Moon Stone product markup, free U.S. shipping, no buyer fees beyond applicable taxes, seal checks, and one accountable operator. If that’s how you’d rather buy, the membership is open.
