Thank you for visiting Mint.

Our story began in April 1995, when we opened our first direct retail shop in Narashino City, in the east part of Japan. Our dream was to build a place where even the most novice of collectors would feel at home. We’ve continued to build on that dream, expanding to more than 20 locations while remaining faithful to our philosophy of cultivating a collector’s culture.

Our business has also broken new ground with the addition of value-added services thanks to our strong partnerships with industry stalwarts like Goldin Auctions and PSA. Our wholesale distribution channels have also matured to cover all of Japan, as well as select regions in the Pacific rim.

Throughout the years, we’ve witnessed fans of all ages, sharing our same passion and interest in sports, entertainment, and the hobby. They are the ones who inspire us to continue contributing to our community, and most importantly, to keep things fun - not just for our generation, but all that follow. In that spirit, we will continue to adapt to the changing times, to evolving technologies, and to whatever challenges may arise in building our proverbial home - of, by, and for collectors.
