PokeWhales
Pokémon cards, opened live. Vintage holos, new sets and everything in between. Catch us live on Whatnot.
About
We grew up on Base Set holos and binders we were way too proud of. We still have the binders.
PokeWhales is where we open packs, break boxes and show off the cards we love, live on Whatnot. Know your Neo Genesis from your Neo Destiny? You'll fit right in. Don't? Stick around. We'll get you there.
