How to get a Pokémon card distributor

Transcript

You want wholesale prices on Pokémon cards, so you call a distributor, and they turn you down, because the card makers don't sell to stores directly. They sell through a handful of distributors, and those distributors decide who gets an account, and how much product each account receives.

To be a yes, you have to look like a real, lasting business on paper. That means a legal business with a tax ID, a resale certificate, which is usually the first thing they ask for, a retail location that's open to the public, time in business with sales to show, and clean photos of your store, outside and inside.

Then comes the part most people miss: events first, distribution second. Set up a play space, eight seats for Bandai events, sixteen for Yu-Gi-Oh, run tournaments every week, and keep the record, because a store with six months of weekly events is a much easier yes than a store with none.

And approval isn't the finish line. Popular sets are allocated, every store gets a share, and the active stores that run events, order steadily, and pay on time get the bigger share.

We handle the setup, the applications, and the events behind them. Greedy TCG! Get ready to be a yes.
