Our Story

A Hidden Gem in Brighton

DayDreamNation is Brighton's tucked-away home for Pokémon and One Piece TCG — a small, welcoming card shop run by collectors, for collectors.

Trading cards since 2009

We started back in 2009 as a tiny card shop in Brighton, getting to know the trading card community one customer at a time. When lockdown changed everything, we moved online and took to markets and card shows across the country.

Now we're back behind a counter — in a cosy little space in the North Laine, with our own personal collections on display and binders of singles kept behind the counter, ready to flick through.

  • Intimate & welcomingA small, friendly space where you can take your time and talk cards.
  • Binders of singlesAsk at the counter to browse our singles — there's always something to find.
  • Personal collectionsPieces from our own collections on display — come and have a look.
