Map of the Israeli Collector Community
Where to go, where to buy and sell, and how to submit for grading — a guide to Israel's card-collecting community.
Updated 4 July 2026
Israel's trading-card community is mostly active on Facebook, alongside a handful of shops, content sites and long-running grading services. This list is a starting point — not a recommendation or ranking, and we have no business relationship with anyone listed here.
Facebook groups
Most day-to-day trading between collectors in Israel still happens in Facebook groups. The main Pokémon card group has over 3,000 members (per ynet), alongside smaller groups focused on other card games.
Smaller groups
Smaller groups, usually focused on a region, language, or a specific game (One Piece, general trading cards).

Content communities
Beyond trading, Israel has a long-running content community that centers guides, discussion and a collectors' club.

Grading services
Sending a card abroad for grading (PSA / CGC / BGS) is possible on your own, but two local players offer local handling of the process:
MA Collectables (Ashkelon)
Official CGC distributor in Israel, also offering a PSA submission path. About ₪140-250 per card — full breakdown in the grading guide.
Kanto District
Submission handling for PSA, CGC and BGS. About ₪80-265 depending on tier; the cheapest tier takes roughly 5 months.
For the full process, costs and customs breakdown, see the grading from Israel guide.
Meetups & conventions
Alongside online trading, Israel occasionally hosts collector meetups and conventions — some organized by content communities, some by shops. A physical meetup is also a good, relatively safe way to hand off a deal — see the safety note below.
Deal safety
Most deals between collectors in Israel run on trust, but a deal with someone you don't know calls for basic caution:
- Prefer an in-person handoff where you can inspect the card before paying.
- A community meetup or convention is a convenient, relatively safe handoff point — a public place with people who know each other.
- Avoid paying in full upfront to someone you don't know, especially for higher-value deals.
- Check that the card's listed details (including grade and condition) match what actually arrives.
haklaf is a listings board only — the deal itself is between the parties, at their own risk. Full details in the Terms of Use.
