Trading Card: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.90 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.16 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.90 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.55 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.41 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.33 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.235 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.16 |
What moves the price
For trading card, the drivers are stock, barcode type, print method, finish, hole style, size, pack count, foil wrap — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale/quote-like pricing for custom trading cards clusters around $0.70/unit at 300-399, $0.36/unit at 10,000-20,000, $0.33/unit at 20,001-24,999, and $0.275/unit at 25,000+ on a custom-card calculator, which is the clearest real supplier ladder here. Alibaba-listed custom TCG suppliers also show MOQs around 500 units with quoted ranges roughly $0.80-$2.50/unit, while lower-cost mass-production listings dip under $0.50/unit at 1,000+ units; foil, inserts, custom collation, security wrap, and higher card stock push toward the upper end. Realistic routes are custom print factories or trade suppliers (often China-based, sold into the US), while US-facing resellers/liquidators usually reflect secondary-market bulk rather than true custom-manufactured pricing
