About PokéTT
Made by Andrea — aka Blind, aka Stan’s Collectibles.
PokéTT isn’t a startup or a VC pitch. It’s a passion project — self-funded, self-made, and built by someone who has been collecting things since before he could read, and long before Pokémon ever existed.
A passion project, not a product
I built PokéTT because card prices were a mess — scattered across a dozen marketplaces, dominated by single eye-catching sales, impossible to actually trust. It’s where I finally brought my two great loves together: collecting and investing. I wanted one honest, data-driven view of the market I’ve loved my whole life, so I put together the most comprehensive Pokémon card database I could and built a Bloomberg-grade terminal on top of it — just real numbers shown the way a trader expects to see them. And yes, I coded it myself (with a lot of help from modern AI tools).
Who’s behind it
I’m Andrea — some of you know me as Blind, or as Stan’s Collectibles. I’ve been collecting since the ’90s, and honestly since I was born: cards, vinyl, cassettes, old phones and tech, toys, figures — Pokémon is just one shelf of a much bigger obsession. Or, as it says on my shop: collecting isn’t a hobby, it’s a lifelong obsession — and sometimes a curse.
My shop, Stan’s Collectibles (named after Stan S. Stanman, the gloriously shady merchant from Monkey Island), lives for vintage Japanese Pokémon — Carddass, Topsun, the Vending Series, promos — the obscure, quietly-valuable corners most price guides ignore. Which is exactly the corner PokéTT tries hardest to map.
Outside of cardboard I’ve had a few lives: an ex pro basketball player turned award-winning video director turned entrepreneur and investor — I’ve directed films, founded companies, taken one public and sold it, and built things between Rome, London, Los Angeles, Milan, Bangkok and Tokyo, with 100+ countries visited along the way. PokéTT is where my two lives — building things and collecting things — finally meet.
How the numbers work (the part you should trust)
Every price on PokéTT comes from real, completed sales — not asking prices, and never a single headline auction. Each sale is tagged with its exact grade, converted to one base currency, and marked at the median of recent sales within that grade, so one outlier can’t move the number. Graded populations come from PSA, BGS and CGC. We never mix grades, and we always show volume and population beside a price so you can judge how much to trust it. The full method is in how we calculate market cap.
PokéTT is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo, Creatures or GAME FREAK.

Everything I do will always be dedicated to Sally Cinnamon.
