About Mitchell Taljaard
Founder of Cuppas Cards, lifelong collector, and dad.
Mitchell's passion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game spans both Japanese and English releases, from vintage grails to modern competitive play.
He founded Cuppas Cards with a simple, personal mission. After welcoming his baby boy into a rapidly evolving world increasingly shaped by AI and automation, Mitchell wanted to build something tangible, honest, and grounded in real human connection: a business his son could grow into and learn from.
For Mitchell, the Pokémon TCG isn't just about collecting certified slabs. It's about nurturing the local tabletop community, bringing people together around the game, and running an honest, fair service that collectors and players can trust.
