It started with, "How do I start collecting Pokémon cards?"

You're Not Alone.

So you have a Pokémon card collection. Collecting Pokémon cards can sometimes make you feel like the lonely Pokémon, Cubone. There’s nobody around who collects, you have so many questions (or Q’s for short) but you’re not sure where to get help, and you just simply feel lonely, lost and confused. But don’t worry, I got you. Welcome to QBONE CLUB! We’re a club filled with QBONEs.

What's a QBONE?

They’re nothing like the Lonely Pokémon, Cubone. QBONEs are people of this community! When you have Q’s, the answers are found right here.

When it comes to collecting, you’ll always have Q’s like how to organize your cards or what products to buy to keep your collection in pristine condition. And when you get more into it, you’ll want to know how to trade for the cards you want, or even sell cards you don’t want so you can buy more of what you want! Instead of figuring this out on your own and feeling lost, lonely, and confused, QBONEs have the answers to these Q’s and help each other out right here in the QBONE CLUB.

So...Where Are the Answers?

They’re right here on this site! There’s reviews, guides, and resources on everything related to collecting Pokémon cards. I teach you everything I’ve learned, connect you with the write communities, and even point you to resources online so that you feel confident building your growing Pokémon card collection!

Um, Who Are YOU?

Oh, whoops! I totally forgot to introduce myself (my bad). I’m Jarzard, the creator of QBONE CLUB!

I started collecting Pokémon cards as a kid and even played the TCG (I learned how to play through the Gameboy game). But like many others, my interests changed, and my collection sat in a closet collecting dust for years. I continued playing the video games, but my cards were forgotten. Until this happened.

I ate Chicken Nuggets.

In 2021, during the middle of the COVID pandemic, my love for Pokémon cards was revived. McDonald’s was giving away Pokémon cards to celebrate Pokémon’s 25th Anniversary. As soon as I heard this, I sped to the nearest McDonald’s and found myself at the end of the drive thru line. I rolled up by myself, and as a grown man, I was 110% prepared to order a chicken nugget happy meal just to get my hands on a pack. I don’t know what came over me, I just had to do it.

I went straight for the cards. My hand digs past the nuggets and fries, and that’s when I felt it… the booster pack. I slowly ripped it open, and the moment the holographic foil hit my eyes, I was hooked.

I made SO many mistakes...

That pack changed my life. I drove 1.5 hours to my parents house to find my old collection. I swung open the closet door in my childhood bedroom. I reached for the top shelf where I knew my old Pokémon card collection had been sitting, and pulled an old beat up 3 inch o-ring binder.

I started to research ways to correctly store your Pokémon cards from what sleeves to buy, what binders to use, and even started to search online for different communities to learn the best ways to start collecting again.

I bought so many bad products, I damaged some cards, and even ended up in toxic communities that weren’t helpful. I was lost, lonely, and confused. I was like Cubone. But through all this, I learned so much and I don’t want collectors like you to go through this.

So I started QBONE CLUB

I became the first QBONE with the goal of helping collector’s feel confident in owning and growing their Pokémon card collection. I started QBONECLUB.com as a resource and tool to not only share what I’ve learned, but to act as a gateway to connect with other QBONE’s everywhere.

Now my collection is organized and accounted for. I know exactly what products work for me to keep my cards safe and protected. I handle my bulk with ease, and even sell/trade cards online reliably. I’ve never felt so equipped and confident to grow my collection, and I’m prepared to share all of this with you.

Glad to meet another fellow QBONE, welcome to the club!
