Questions

Buying wholesale trading cards, answered.

Everything store owners ask before opening a wholesale account: permits, minimums, shipping, pre-orders and how to make money selling cards by the pack.

How do I buy wholesale trading cards for my store?

Apply for a wholesale account, upload your seller's permit and sign a resale certificate. Once a person on our team approves the application, you can see our full catalog and wholesale pricing, add products to your cart from your phone, and check out. We confirm the order and email an invoice you pay by card or bank transfer.

Do I need a seller's permit or resale certificate to buy wholesale?

Yes. We sell only to businesses that resell. You'll upload your seller's or reseller permit when you apply, and sign an electronic resale certificate once. Because the product is for resale, we don't charge sales tax on your orders.

Is there a minimum order?

No. There is no order minimum and you can buy a single box. If you want a full opening order, our $1,000 and $2,000 starter bundles are priced below buying the same products separately.

Do you sell wholesale Pokémon cards?

Yes. We carry Japanese Pokémon booster boxes and high class packs from the current sets, and Simplified-Chinese Pokémon boxes including the Pokémon 151 waves and Gem Packs. Both sell well by the pack, and every box shows a suggested retail price per pack.

What other card games and products do you carry?

New releases and pre-orders for Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Cardfight!! Vanguard, Weiss Schwarz, One Piece, Dragon Ball Super and Kayou collectible cards (KPop Demon Hunters, My Little Pony, Naruto and more), plus sleeves, binders, deck boxes, playmats and countertop pack dispensers.

Can a liquor store, gas station or convenience store sell trading cards?

Yes, and many do. Trading card packs are a strong impulse buy at the register. A countertop pack dispenser and a few booster boxes sold by the pack are an easy way to start, and our starter bundles give you a ready-made mix of product.

How much can I make selling cards by the pack?

Every product page shows your margin at MSRP, and card boxes show a suggested price per pack and your profit per box when you sell by the pack. On many Japanese and Chinese Pokémon boxes, selling by the pack at a dollar or so above the going pack price earns a strong margin.

How long does shipping take?

In-stock items are confirmed within a business day and ship once your invoice is paid. Pre-orders are invoiced and ship once the product arrives. Japanese and Chinese product is ordered weekly with a Sunday 8:00 PM Pacific cutoff, and those orders take about two weeks. Every shipment includes tracking.

How do pre-orders work?

Reserve upcoming releases before the order-by date shown on the product. A pre-order is a request: nothing is charged when you place it. We confirm your allocation and send your invoice when the product arrives, and it ships right away.

How do I pay?

After we confirm your order, we email an invoice you can pay by card or by bank transfer (ACH), due within seven days. Processing fees are shown before you place the order, never hidden in the price.

Are your products authentic?

Yes. Every product we sell is 100% authentic, sourced through established distribution.

Where do you ship?

Anywhere in the United States. Shipping is a flat rate per order, shown at checkout.

How do I contact you?

Use the contact form on our site or email support.thecardsupplier@gmail.com. We usually reply within one business day.
