Supplier sourcing for TCG sellers & streamers

Reliable sealed suppliers, without needing a store to get in the door.

I find, vet and introduce you to real wholesale suppliers and distribution programs for Pokémon, One Piece, Lorcana and other TCGs — so you can buy sealed product at the right price and build allocation from day one. Most people ask for around 3 suppliers — that's the most I've seen anyone order. Some may be closed to new accounts due to demand right now.

How it works

Six steps from cold start to standing allocation

  1. 01

    Tell me what you need

    Share the TCG(s) and product types you're looking to source (sealed products only, e.g. ETBs, booster boxes, tins), your budget for products, and your budget for the sourcing service itself. Most people ask for around 3 suppliers — that's the most I've seen anyone order and usually enough to start.

  2. 02

    Store and license check

    Let me know if you already have a store and/or business license. This determines which suppliers you qualify for. Main distributors require both; secondary distributors require at least a business license. I also have access to select suppliers that don't require either.

  3. 03

    Sourcing and vetting

    I spend multiple days sourcing and vetting suppliers that match your product needs and budget, including below-retail options where available. A deposit per supplier covers this work upfront. Because demand is high right now, some suppliers may temporarily not be accepting new accounts — I’ll flag that in the list so you don’t waste time.

  4. 04

    Direct connection

    Once matched, you're connected directly with the supplier to start the relationship yourself. The supplier list is the deliverable; you handle the outreach from there.

  5. 05

    Building allocation

    Suppliers generally won't allocate high-demand items (like new-release ETBs or hyped sets) immediately. You'll typically need to build spend history first, often by purchasing lower-demand products to build trust and priority over time.

  6. 06

    Shipping

    Most suppliers don't ship internationally, so a freight forwarder is usually required to receive your products. Plan for this in your landed cost.

What I can source for you

Sealed product supplier lists

You tell me the games, formats and volume you want. I research and send back a vetted contact sheet of suppliers that actually carry it — usually around 3, since that's the most people order — Pokémon, One Piece, Lorcana, MTG and more. I don't open accounts or negotiate for you.

Vetted by license tier

Every contact is matched to your setup: store + business license, business license only, or no license required. I verify live contact details and note minimums, account requirements, and whether a supplier is currently accepting new accounts.

You take it from there

I don't make introductions, negotiate, open accounts, manage orders or arrange shipping. You get the list; the outreach, freight forwarder and relationship building are yours. Right now demand is high, so some suppliers are closed to new applicants — I'll tell you which ones.
