COLLECTORS FIRST
We started AVS because we love collecting too.
We know what it is like to drive to a store hoping to find Pokémon packs, only to see empty shelves. Or to wait in line for a restock and miss it anyway. After a while, getting packs started to feel more like luck than collecting. We wanted to make that a little easier.
WHY WE STARTED
More than the latest release
We want our machines to carry packs collectors are excited to find, including popular sets that are hard to get locally and older packs that are no longer in print. Selection will vary, but finding something unexpected is part of the fun.
Fair about pricing
We know our prices are not MSRP. Finding inventory, payment processing, and running the machines all come with costs. We do our best to keep prices reasonable while making packs available in a convenient place.
Local people behind the machine
We are collectors based in Aiken, not a big retail chain. We manage the machines ourselves and work with businesses throughout South Carolina, generally within about two hours of home. We hope each machine makes collecting a little more enjoyable.
