UkWholesale Sports Trading Cards Distributor List
As the sports card craze has heated up, getting your hands on products at wholesale prices is tougher than ever unless you’ve got an existing account. If you didn’t get in before 2019 getting allocation on product can be difficult.
And let’s not forget the big shakeup in 2022—Fanatics landing deals to produce NBA, NFL, and MLB cards, not to mention buying out The Topps Company. Yeah, the landscape’s changed, and not just a little. Focus on spreading out your dollars and diversify your business. Hopefully this page can help you find connection in the sports cards world.
eBay Marketplace
eBay – The Worlds Marketplace
www.ebay.com
Believe it or not, eBay has some of the lowest prices when it comes to sports cards, supplies and unopened boxes.
If you are thinking about starting a sports card shop you want to use eBay both as a place to sell and buy.
Buying from the wholesale lots section is a good place to find deals that are sometime below wholesale prices.
Newer products will be cheaper at wholesale distributors, but eBay can have good deals on older boxes and other unique items.
Fanatics
If you wanna stay ahead in the sports card game, it’s high time you get familiar with Fanatics—they’re the new big shots around here. You might even have to order straight from their website to get your hands on some goods, especially if you don’t have an inside track with them or a distributor.
Target
With unopened sports card boxes becoming increasing difficult to obtain at the wholesale level, many people have moved to selling retail blaster boxes found typically at Target and Walmart.
Target Inventory
You may have to supplement your store inventory with boxes you obtain on the secondary market or at retail outlets like Target.
Topps Company
The Topps Company
Topps.com
Recently, Topps is making it easier to buy direct from them. While you may not be able to make the financial commitment it will take to become a HTA Store, they do offer other products.
I’ve talked to several shop owners who have been flipping the Topps Now cards that Topps began producing in 2016 in their stores.
They also continue to sell unique vault items on the Topps eBay Store.
Topps Direct Information: [email protected]
DA Card World
DA Card World
www.dacardworld.com
One of the largest online Sports Card Dealers but not a true “wholesale” sports card distributor, however prices can be as low or lower than your normal outlet.
DH Gate
www.DHGate.com
Snag some sports gear straight from China! I’ve placed multiple orders from this site between 2006 and 2008, and everything ships directly from China.
Search for sellers the same way you would on eBay, find those with good feedback.
Southern Hobby Supply
The premiere distributor of the United States with distribution centers in New York, Reno, Nashville, St. Louis and Chicago – Southern Hobby Supply represents all of the major sports and non-sport trading card companies as well as most of the major games and toy manufacturers.
This is a true wholesale distributor – meaning you will need your states resale tax-ID number.
I met this wholesale distributor at the 2011 Las Vegas Sports Card Summit, and they are perfect if you own a store.
They have much more than Sports Cards and Gaming, they can also provide all of the supplies and accessories that go with the collectibles. These additional items are often high dollar margins that help your bottom line.
With 5 locations across the country, Southern Hobby can ship 95% of the U.S. in a 1 of 2 day transit time. They also offer an extensive route deliver service to over 90 major cities across the USA. If you fall into their delivery area, you could save $1,000’s each year in shipping costs.
Kole Imports
The more you purchase, the more you save.
As the leading wholesale distributor for distinctive, fast-moving items at reduced costs, Kole Imports ranks among the country’s largest direct importers of general merchandise, offering an array of wholesale goods and closeouts. Committed to meeting customer needs effectively, their goal is to consistently provide products at highly competitive prices, exactly when you want them.
Panini America
Panini America has quickly become one of the global leaders in Sports Trading cards – with licensed sets for the NBA, NFL, NCAA, Racing and MLBPA.
Getting this companies products would be a must if you want to open a card store. In 2016 they will have an NFL exclusive. You must have a store front to have a direct account with Panini America.
Sweet Deal
With over 20 years experience in providing excellent service to brick and mortar hobby stores, Sweet Deal is a must contact if you have, or are looking to get into the retail space.
They are located in California, so if you have a west coast hobby store and are looking to get product fast and hate waiting on east coast deliveries, Sweet Deal can take care of you.
Looking for other stuff that’s not sports cards? Well they also carry Ultra Pro supplies, Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh plus more!
Peach State Sports
I used this sports card distributor back when they were first starting out. They didn’t even have a website and it was all done over the phone.
They have grown a bit and are a good source if you are on the east coast. They sometimes get exclusive autographs from Atlanta Braves players and other athletes.
This is a true distributor of cards and supplies – meaning you will need your states resale tax-ID number.
All Sports Marketing
I actually met this Sports Card Distributor at the Las Vegas Sports Card Industry Summit in 2011. They are a great group of people that are working hard to get the best prices and information to you about products. These guys stock the brand new releases PLUS some of the ‘older’ product too. You’ll also find Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and Magic along with a full line of sports products.
All the prices they quote you are what you pay, no COD or other fees. They also have Net 6 WEEK Payment plans. They also stock BCW Supplies at the same price as direct + free shipping if you order with boxes/cases.
This is a true distributor of cards and supplies – meaning you will need your states resale tax-ID number.
Steel City Collectibles
Similar to DA Card World and Blowout Cards, they aren’t a true wholesale distributor. They will have products available at or around wholesale prices depending on the demand for the products.
Magazine Exchange
A great option for both non-sports and traditional sports cards from all the top card makers.
You will need a state re-sale ID to order from this company directly. The prices are going to be similar to the distributors above. I have never worked with this company directly, however they update the website on a regular basis so its worth giving them a shot.
Gold River Distributors
Located in Rocklin, CA this is a good choice if you are on the west coast. I have confirmation that they have good prices from an online retailer who buys from them.
I remember these guys when I did business over a decade ago – so they have the experience and knowledge of the industry. Visit the website and give them a call to setup a distributor account.
Upper Deck
Upper Deck is much like Topps in that you must be buying at large quantities in order to be eligible to buy directly from Upper Deck.
I’ve heard becoming a Diamond Dealer is similar to joining a club, the other members have to accept you. Kind of strange.
I know they have restrictions on selling their product online so really this is only an option if you plan to open a popular sports card store. Upper Deck has a Diamond Dealers program you must apply for even if you are buying from distributors.
Blowout Cards
Similar to DA Card World and Steel City Collectibles, they are not true distributors.
Casey’s Distribution
Not a traditional sports card distributor, but does have interesting items including supplies.
Had at one point a full line of Topps factory sets dating back to the 1980’s. Might be worth signing up for just to check out some prices.
Universal Distribution
One of Canada’s top distributors, you want to give them a call if you live north of the United States border.
They not only carry the full line of sport trading card boxes and cases, but also a ton of gaming and other type of products that sell well at the hobby shop level.
Gronsor Distribution
Located in Ontario Canada, they carry products from Upper Deck, Topps and plenty of sports card supplies.
Prince Wholesalers
Located in North York Canada, they have sports cards from Panini, Upper Deck, and Topps.
Gaming products include Flesh and Blood, Pokemon and You-Gi-Oh.
The Card Cabinet
Located in Sweden, if you need an international sports card distributor they do carry Upper Deck, Pokemon, Magic and Ultra Pro.
Ponderosa
A good option for China, as they carry Upper Deck, Topps, WWE, Beckett Magazine’s, Panini, and much more.
Wholesale Chess
