We built Fetch because NZ & AU needed better.
A marketplace built specifically for TCG, by people who actually collect. No endless scrolling. No “is this still available?” DMs. No pricing stuck to whatever the US market is doing.

The Charizard moment
Sold · $1,000
A JP Charizard promo, found in a Japanese art book in 2017. Sold in 2021 — and that was the moment Fetch started.
How Fetch started
A long story short — from trading cards at school to building a marketplace for everyone else doing the same thing.
Late 90s – early 2000s
School playground days
Like a lot of kids at the turn of the millennium, I was into Pokemon, DBZ Score and Yu-Gi-Oh!. Trading cards with mates at school — no sleeves, no binders, just cards in pockets and backpacks.
I remember being given $20 once to spend at Armageddon and thinking it was the greatest day ever. Eventually life moved on — I got into sport for a while, and that was pretty much it for cards for a long time.
2017 · Japan
An art book, a promo I didn't care for, and the flame coming back
Years later — engaged, grown up, living a whole other life — I took a trip to Japan in 2017 and picked up a Japanese art book because I liked the cover. Tucked inside was a JP Charizard promo. Honestly, I didn't care for it at the time. It got the “oh, neat” treatment and slid into a drawer.
Got home and — for reasons I still can't fully explain — started cracking boxes of XY Evolutions. A lot of them. The flame was back. By 2019 I was deep into DBS Masters.
2021
The Charizard was worth $1,000 — so I sold it
Fast forward to 2021. That JP Charizard sitting in a drawer? Turns out it was now worth around $1,000. So I sold it, and poured the money straight into DBS Masters.
I'd do it all over again. DBZ FO LYFE.
Working out what it was worth and finding a buyer all happened inside Facebook groups and DMs. No local pricing, no proper marketplace. So we built Fetch. Everything below this is what happened next.

A few moments from the road
Big pulls, community nights, regionals, and the stuff that made the idea feel worth it.
The Vegito SSB Signature
First big pull from DBS Masters. Drove out to meet Kevin — Card Masters was just an online store back then. One starter deck, one pack, the biggest hit in the set.
The early One Piece crew
One of the earliest photos of the local One Piece community starting to take shape.
Brisbane Regionals
Vending at Brisbane Regionals.
KBBQ with the Pro Team
Formed the Fetch Pro Team for One Piece. Celebrated the right way.
Auckland Card Show
