Marhaba

Middle East’s #1 Marketplace for TCGs, Sports & Collectibles

MYNTED
Built by Collectors, for Collectors

The home of TCGs & Collectibles in the Middle East

A Marketplace made by collectors who understand the hobby.

We started MYNTED because we saw what was missing: a local platform where collectors in the UAE and GCC could buy and sell safely, easily, and with confidence. What began as childhood passion for trading cards evolved into a mission to build the region’s most trusted hub for all things TCG and collectibles.

At MYNTED, everything is designed around authenticity, accessibility, and growth. We verify our vendors, simplify shipping, and make it possible for sellers to launch professional storefronts with zero technical knowledge. Whether you’re a small business or an individual collector, MYNTED helps you reach a community that shares your passion.

From Pokémon to Panini, graded slabs to Funko Pops: we’re bringing the global collector experience home to the UAE, one sale at a time.

Sascha aka Schmutzfink TCG

Sascha’s collecting journey started way back in the ’90s with NBA cards, until life benched the hobby for a while. Fast-forward to late 2020, nostalgia hit hard, and Pokémon brought him back into the hobby. What began as a trip down memory lane quickly evolved into full-blown hobby madness, with side quests through One Piece TCG and Weiss Schwarz along the way. At MYNTED, Sascha keeps the engine running, handling partnerships, logistics, and the business side of our collecting world.

Favorite TCG:
