About Break Check Barragan
A family-owned Pokemon card business built on passion, expertise, and a commitment to helping collectors and entrepreneurs succeed.
Our Story
Break Check Barragan started with a simple passion: collecting Pokemon cards. What began as a personal hobby over a decade ago transformed into something much bigger—a thriving family business dedicated to helping collectors find premium cards and entrepreneurs build their own trading card ventures.
For over 10 years, we've been immersed in the Pokemon card market. We've learned the ins and outs of card grading, market trends, sourcing strategies, and what it takes to turn a passion for collecting into a profitable business. Every lesson we've learned—including the expensive mistakes—has shaped how we operate today.
As a family-owned and operated business, every card we sell and every student we teach reflects our values: authenticity, quality, and genuine care for the community we serve. This isn't just our livelihood—it's our passion, and we treat every customer like family.
What Makes Us Different
Quality Over Quantity
We don't just sell cards—we curate them. Every card in our inventory meets strict Near Mint standards. We personally inspect condition, authenticity, and market value before offering any card for sale. Your collection deserves nothing less than the best.
We Teach What We Know
Our Pokemon Business Startup Course isn't theory—it's the exact system we use daily. We share real strategies that actually work in today's market, based on over 10 years of hands-on experience.
Family Values
As a family business, we understand that every purchase matters. We treat your collection with the same care we'd give our own. Honesty, integrity, and exceptional service aren't just buzzwords—they're how we operate every single day.
10+ Years of Expertise
A decade in the Pokemon card business has taught us what works and what doesn't. We've navigated market booms, corrections, and everything in between. That experience translates directly into better cards for collectors and better education for entrepreneurs.
Our Mission
To provide collectors with premium Pokemon cards they can trust, and empower aspiring entrepreneurs with the knowledge to build their own successful trading card businesses.
We believe everyone deserves access to quality cards and quality education. That's why we're committed to transparency, fair pricing, and sharing everything we've learned along the way.

Every card we sell reflects our reputation
Near Mint Standard
We specialize in Near Mint cards. Every card is carefully inspected for edge wear, surface scratches, centering, and corner condition before it enters our inventory.
Authenticity Guaranteed
With 10+ years of experience, we know how to spot fakes. Every card is authenticated before sale, and we stand behind every purchase 100%.
Protected Handling & Shipping
From the moment we receive a card to the moment it reaches you, it's protected in premium sleeves and top loaders. We ship with the same care we'd want for our own collection.
Fair, Transparent Pricing
We price our cards based on current market value, condition, and rarity. No inflated prices, no hidden fees—just honest pricing from collectors who understand the market.
Why We Do This
"At the heart of Break Check Barragan is a simple truth: we love Pokemon cards. We love the hunt for that perfect card, the thrill of opening a pack, and the community of collectors who share this passion."
This business started as a way to support our family while doing something we genuinely enjoy. Every card we sell, every student we teach, and every customer we help is a reminder of why we started. It's not just about making a living—it's about building something meaningful, staying true to our values, and helping others experience the same joy and success we've found in the Pokemon card community.
