Japan Trading Card Center Co., Ltd. has launched its online repack service in the United States, extending its availability to four markets. The October 9 launch follows openings in Taiwan in May and Hong Kong in July. The service is now available in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the United States. U.S. customers can use an English-language app and access online repacks under the name “Packs.”

Online Packs Reach U.S.

Japan Trading Card Center lets users open trading card repacks online through a smartphone or computer, revealing the contents immediately. For overseas users, the company offers local-currency payment, local-language displays and direct delivery to customers’ homes.

JTCC currently covers international shipping costs, except in regions where delivery is unavailable. The service is limited to users aged 18 and older.

Information Before Purchase

Each Pack product page lists the total number of packs offered, the pull rate for each tier and the card list before purchase. Pull rates reflect the available pool at release and change as packs are sold.

The company notes that card market values fluctuate and does not guarantee a specific card, grade or resale value. Customers may request delivery of cards and items or exchange them for points within the service.

International Expansion Plans

Founded in April 2023, JTCC has positioned category expansion, overseas expansion and new businesses as areas of growth. Its lineup extends beyond trading cards to game consoles, hobby goods and other items. The company plans to continue expanding its overseas service and categories for trading card fans in Japan and abroad.
