Cine detine Hidden Card Lab?

Hidden Card Lab este un brand operat de Robotic Works S.R.L. (CUI: 44638834), o firma romaneasca fondata in 2021 si administrata de Daniel Roman. Am inceput pe eMag, unde am livrat peste 1.400 de comenzi cu un rating de 4.6/5, si acum continuam pe propriul nostru magazin online.

De unde aduceti cartonasele Pokemon?

Importam direct din Japonia prin furnizori verificati si platforme de licitatii japoneze autorizate. Toate produsele provin din lantul oficial de distributie al The Pokemon Company Japan si trec prin verificarea noastra de autenticitate inainte de a fi listate in magazin.

De ce cartonase japoneze si nu in engleza?

Cartonasele Pokemon japoneze au calitate superioara de print, texturi premium si seturi exclusive care nu exista in nici o alta limba. Culorile sunt mai vibrante, cartonul este mai rigid si mai fin, iar multe seturi sunt disponibile doar in japoneza. Colectionarii din intreaga lume considera editiile japoneze cele mai valoroase.

Sunt cartonasele japoneze originale?

Da, garantam 100% autenticitatea tuturor produselor. Toate cartonasele sunt originale, licentiate de Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, Creatures Inc. si GAME FREAK inc. Importam direct din Japonia prin furnizori autorizati. Fiecare produs are coduri de serie, ambalaj original japonez si marcaj copyright verificabil.

Cum verific daca un cartonas e original?

Exista mai multe metode: verificarea marcajului copyright, testul luminii (cartonasele originale blocheaza lumina datorita stratului de grafit interior), inspectarea texturii holografice si a spatelui cardului. Am creat un ghid complet cu toate metodele profesionale pe pagina Ghidul de Autenticitate.

Ce contine un Booster Pack?

Un Booster Pack standard japonez contine 5 cartonase selectate aleator din setul respectiv. Exista si High Class Packs (cum ar fi VSTAR Universe, Shiny Treasure ex sau Terastal Festival) care contin 10 cartonase si au sanse mai mari de a obtine cartonase rare si ultra-rare.

Ce este un High Class Pack?

High Class Pack-urile sunt seturi premium japoneze care contin 10 cartonase in loc de 5. Au pull rate-uri (sanse de cartonase rare) semnificativ mai bune decat Booster Pack-urile standard si includ adesea reprint-uri ale celor mai cautate cartonase din seturile anterioare. Exemple: VSTAR Universe, Shiny Treasure ex, Terastal Festival.

Sunt cartonasele in limba japoneza?

Da, toate cartonasele noastre sunt editii japoneze originale, deci textul este in limba japoneza. Cu toate acestea, numele Pokemon-ilor si ilustratiile sunt universale. Multe persoane colectioneaza editiile japoneze tocmai pentru estetica unica a textului japonez si pentru calitatea superioara a printului.

Ce inseamna SAR, SR, UR, AR?

Acestea sunt nivelurile de raritate din seturile japoneze Pokemon: AR (Art Rare) — Ilustratii speciale full-art, relativ accesibile. SR (Super Rare) — Cartonase cu efecte holografice avansate, mai greu de gasit. SAR (Special Art Rare) — Cele mai cautate cartonase, cu ilustratii premium si textura unica. UR (Ultra Rare) — Cartonase de top, adesea gold sau cu efecte speciale unice. Cu cat raritatea este mai mare, cu atat cartonasul este mai valoros.

Pot juca cu cartonasele japoneze?

Da! Regulile Pokemon TCG sunt universale — mecanicile de joc sunt aceleasi indiferent de limba. Singura diferenta este ca textul de pe cartonase este in japoneza, dar poti folosi aplicatii sau site-uri (precum Bulbapedia) pentru a traduce efectele.

Pentru ce varsta sunt potrivite cartonasele?

Cartonasele Pokemon sunt recomandate oficial pentru varsta de 6 ani si peste. Pentru copiii sub 6 ani, recomandam deschiderea pachetelor sub supravegherea unui adult. Cartonasele sunt excelente si pentru adolescenti si adulti colectionari — nu exista limita de varsta pentru pasiunea Pokemon!
