What we're about
We're a friendly bunch from across the North East. Cards are the main event, but the conversation goes wherever the day takes it.
Trading Cards
Drops, god packs, grading debates and binder builds. We cover every Smyths queue, card show and LCS in the region and share when stock actually lands — not when it's already gone.
Northern Life
House viewings, baby announcements, car troubles, celebratory meals out and strong opinions on local takeaways. The real things that happen between the card drops.
McFlurries
We have a custom McFlurry emoji. It gets deployed on the daily scoreboard. Nobody's entirely sure how it started. Nobody's stopping it.
Manic behaviour
Queuing two nights for a card box, bidding on eBay live gone midnight for postage you'll never recoup, starting a pizza debate at 11pm. You know the ones.
Area notifications
When something worth knowing pops up nearby, we shout about it. We post alerts across the whole of the North East.
