Independent Pokémon TCG market intelligence. Written by collectors, for collectors.
The Field Report is an independent editorial publication focused on the Japanese and English Pokémon Trading Card Game market, with a particular focus on UK and Singapore collectors. We track upcoming JP and EN releases, chart the price gap between regions, and report on industry news that affects the secondary market.
We started this because most Pokémon TCG coverage is either algorithm-optimised YouTube content, reseller advertising disguised as editorial, or news aggregation with no original analysis. We're trying to do something different: short, opinionated, fact-checked pieces about what's actually happening in the market — written by people who are also customers.
The Field Report does not accept paid placements, sponsored posts, or affiliate arrangements with the retailers we review. Our chase card lists are compiled from verified secondary market data — they are not paid promotions. We may earn commission through standard affiliate programmes (such as the eBay Partner Network) on links within the site, but this never influences editorial coverage.
If you spot something that looks wrong, commercially biased, or factually incorrect — email us. We correct mistakes publicly.
We primarily cover the Japanese Scarlet & Violet era (SV) and the Mega VMAX era (ME) sets that bridge into English Sword & Shield reprints. Our set archive maps every JP release to its EN equivalent, with release dates, set codes, and chase card breakdowns.
We do not cover the competitive play meta, deck builds, or tournament results. That's a different publication.
The Field Report is currently a solo project. Articles carry a byline where relevant. The publication mascot and voice is "The Field Report desk" — used for shorter news items and roundups without a specific author.
