Welcome to Arcana Frisia – Your Trusted Source for Vintage Pokémon and Lord of the Rings Decipher Cards
My journey with collectible cards began just like many others: as a kid, wide-eyed and captivated, when Pokémon first launched in English back in 1999-2000. Over the years, this fascination grew into something deeper, and by the time I was a university student, I found myself trading cards from my dorm room, a small operation that grew into what Arcana Frisia is today. Officially founded in 2016, Arcana Frisia is a dream realized – a place where collectors and enthusiasts can find an authentic, curated selection of vintage Wizards of the Coast (WotC) Pokémon cards, with every detail handled by someone who lives and breathes the hobby.
Our Mission
My mission with Arcana Frisia is to offer an unmatched selection of WotC-era cards, from Base Set to the elusive e-Card series, creating a one-stop destination for those who appreciate the history and legacy of these iconic sets. Having experienced the hobby from all angles – collector, player, and trader – I’m dedicated to helping other enthusiasts build their collections with cards they can trust.
Why Choose Arcana Frisia?
With over 20 years in the scene and an encyclopedic knowledge of WotC cards, I’m passionate about bringing transparency and fairness to the collecting experience. I’m here not just to sell cards but to share a piece of the Pokémon legacy with others who appreciate the value and artistry of vintage cards. When you shop with Arcana Frisia, you’re not just getting a product – you’re getting the assurance of authenticity, accuracy, and a commitment to quality that only a lifelong enthusiast can provide.
Customer Service
At Arcana Frisia, I believe in treating customers the way I’d want to be treated: with honesty, transparency, and a touch of that classic Dutch straightforwardness. I’m responsive and fair, and I make every effort to ensure you know exactly what you’re getting – no surprises, just great cards and great service. Your satisfaction matters, and I’m here to answer questions, provide advice, or even share stories about the hobby.
A Personal Touch
My all-time favorite card? That would be Shining Gyarados from Neo Revelation. This card, with its unique artwork and story, embodies everything I love about this hobby – the thrill of finding rare gems, the joy of nostalgia, and the excitement of sharing it all with others.
In addition to Pokémon, I’m a huge Tolkien fan, and my passion for The Lord of the Rings is deeply rooted. I’ve read the books and watched the movies countless times, and this appreciation naturally extends to the Lord of the Rings cards that I offer alongside Pokémon. Whether you’re seeking a rare holo Charizard or an iconic piece from Middle-earth, Arcana Frisia is here to be part of your collecting journey.
