PLAYGROUNDS ABU DHABI

Our first Playgrounds experience in Abu Dhabi was about much more than displaying cards. It was an opportunity to bring the Umami Vault concept to a new community and show collectors what makes our selection different. Throughout the event, visitors explored a carefully curated range of trading cards, graded pieces, sealed products and collectibles. From collectors searching for a specific card to newcomers discovering the hobby, every conversation reminded us why physical events remain such an important part of what we are building. One of the highlights was seeing collectors interact with pieces they do not usually encounter in the local market. Those moments perfectly represent the purpose behind Umami Vault: connecting collectors with products and opportunities that are difficult to find elsewhere. We also had the chance to meet new customers, reconnect with familiar faces and exchange knowledge with other vendors and members of the community. Abu Dhabi welcomed us incredibly well, and the experience confirmed that the passion for collecting continues to grow across the UAE. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth, shared their collection with us, made a purchase or simply stopped for a conversation. Playgrounds Abu Dhabi was another important step in the Umami Vault journey—and certainly not our last visit to the capital.
