Three and a half years after its start in Japan, the company brings the experience of opening trading card repacks online to overseas collectors.
/PRNewswire/ — Japan Trading Card Center Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and CEO:Toshihiro Oyama; “JTCC”) launched its online repack service “Japan Trading Card Center” in the United States on Friday, October 9, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. JST. The service launched in Taiwan in May 2026 and in Hong Kong in July 2026, and with the U.S. launch it is now available in four countries and regions: Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the United States.
Overseas expansion background
Japan Trading Card Center Co., Ltd.
Since its founding, JTCC has operated under the tagline “Bringing Japan’s card culture to the world,” with category expansion, overseas expansion and new businesses as its axes of growth. Underlying this is a conviction held since the company’s earliest days: that Japan’s trading card culture can hold its own anywhere in the world.
Trading cards are more than products. The fun of collecting, the excitement of the moment a pack is opened, the joy of receiving the one card you were hoping for: these experiences move people across languages and cultures. JTCC has refined, in Japan, a way of delivering that excitement online. The belief that a purchasing experience combining the appeal of cards with technology and marketing could be delivered overseas as well was the starting point for the company’s international expansion.
JTCC began with countries and regions that share Japan’s enthusiasm for trading cards and have active markets. After visiting each market to gauge its energy firsthand, the company launched first in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and now extends the initiative to the United States.
Availability by country and region
- United States: Launched Friday, October 9, 2026 (5:00 p.m. JST). An English-language app is available, and the online repacks are offered under the name “Packs.”
- Taiwan: Launched May 2026. The service is provided in Traditional Chinese.
- Hong Kong: Launched July 2026. The service is provided in Traditional Chinese.
About the service
“Japan Trading Card Center” is a service that lets users open trading card repacks online from a smartphone or computer, with the contents revealed on the spot. For its overseas markets, JTCC has put in place payment in local currency, display in the local language, and a delivery system that ships cards and items directly to customers’ homes. International shipping costs are currently covered by JTCC, except in certain regions where delivery is unavailable.
For every Pack, JTCC publishes the total number of packs offered, the pull rate of each tier and the card list on the product page before purchase. Displayed pull rates reflect the pack pool as configured at the time of release and change as packs are sold. Card market values fluctuate, and JTCC does not guarantee any specific card, grade, or resale value. The service is available only to users aged 18 and over; users under 18 may not use the service.
JTCC will continue to expand overseas with the aim of building a service that connects trading card fans in Japan and around the world. The company will keep improving the service for users in each country and region while expanding its categories and creating new experiences.
