MJ Holding is the largest North American distributor of trading cards (gaming, sports, and entertainment), related trading card supplies, and hot trend items.
We provide retail supply chain management and specialize in category planning, planogram development, initial distribution, replenishment, and merchandising of the modular for our retail partners. Additionally, we support manufacturers who are looking for retail distribution of their products.
We’ve been in the trading card distribution business since 1993. Over the years, we developed an effective category management process that helped grow our retail distribution footprint across all of the United States and Canada. Our expansion has seen the acquisition of 5 companies since 2000, and partnerships with the strongest retail stores and biggest brands in the game.
