Opening a Japanese Pokémon wholesale account with MaxOnCards, a Lincolnshire-based TCG and hobby retailer, takes one form. Once you're approved, you can order from the full wholesale list. Every line shows an RRP beside its wholesale price, so you can see your margin on a Japanese box before you buy it. Selected lines also have volume breaks, applied on the invoice.
Who is Japanese Pokémon wholesale for?
Our wholesale accounts are for businesses that resell trading cards: card shops, online stores, retailers and streamers across the UK.
You don't need a VAT number to apply, and you don't need to be big. A single box is a perfectly good first order.
Why stock Japanese Pokémon in a UK shop?
Japanese sets come out first. When a new Japanese set lands, the cards are on social media within days and UK collectors start asking where to get them. Having the Japanese box on your shelf or in your stream that week is a real draw.
Other reasons it earns its shelf space:
A current Japanese main-set box usually sells for less than an English booster box, which makes it an easier buy for your customers.
Thirty packs of five cards means a long, steady opening. That's good content for a stream or a box break.
High-class sets such as Mega Dream ex suit a different buyer: ten packs of ten cards, built around the popular cards of recent sets.
What Japanese Pokémon is on the wholesale list?
The list changes as boxes sell out and new sets arrive. Our wholesale page always shows what's currently in stock, with a mix of the latest releases and older sets when available.
Boxes without their outer film are labelled "No Plastic Wrap" or "No Shrink" in the product title, so you know exactly what condition to expect.
Importantly, boxes without shrink wrap contain the same number of hits as sealed boxes. They're simply cheaper and a good option for customers who plan to open the packs. Boxes with shrink wrap are generally better suited to sealed collectors.
Retail customers can see the same products on our Japanese Pokémon cards page, making it easy to check what's available before applying for a wholesale account.

Korean and Chinese Pokémon wholesale on the same account
Japanese gets most of the attention, but Korean and Chinese boxes have their own appeal. Korean boxes follow the Japanese set list at a lower price, and the Simplified Chinese range includes sets that don't exist in English at all, like the all-holo Gem Packs.
A small shelf of Japanese, Korean and Chinese next to your English stock gives customers something they won't find at the supermarket. You can get a feel for them on our retail Korean Pokémon and Chinese Pokémon pages.
Japanese Pokémon for streamers and box breaks
If you open packs live on stream, a few practical points can help:
Pack counts decide how long a show runs. A Japanese main-set box has 30 packs, a high-class box has 10, and a Korean or Chinese box can have anything from 10 to 30.
Telling viewers whether a box still has its shrink wrap before you start opening saves a lot of questions in the chat.
A high-class box mixed into a long stream of main-set boxes can give viewers a run of the more popular cards.
