Upcoming Card Releases & Preorders: How to Secure Funding to Maximize Your Inventory

August 10, 2025

Don’t miss out on the hottest trading card drops—here’s how to fund your next big move.

Upcoming Card Releases & Preorders: How to Secure Funding to Maximize Your Inventory

If you’re in the trading card space—whether it’s Pokémon, sports cards, TCG, or rare collectibles—you know timing is everything. The hottest drops sell out fast, and those who are prepared with capital to secure preorders are the ones who turn the biggest profits.



Right now, several highly anticipated releases are on the horizon. Distributors and retailers are already seeing preorder lists fill up weeks—sometimes months—in advance. If you’re a reseller, card shop owner, or even a part-time flipper, missing out on these windows can mean missing out on thousands in potential revenue.


Why Preorders Are Critical
Preorders are your chance to lock in product at retail or wholesale pricing before the inevitable secondary market price jump. By securing your allocation early, you can guarantee inventory without the risk of paying inflated reseller prices later.


However, preorders require one thing—cash flow. And not every small business or entrepreneur has the funds readily available to lock in a large preorder.


When the Bank Says No—We Step In
This is where we come in. We’re looking to invest in 10 small businesses this season that are ready to scale and seize opportunities—like upcoming card releases—without being held back by lack of capital.


If banks are giving you the runaround, slow approvals, or flat-out rejections, this could be your shot. We want to hear your 60-second business pitch—why you need funding, how you’ll use it, and how it will help you grow.


Our team will review each pitch and determine if you’re a good fit for our funding program. Whether you need $10,000–$50,000 (and in some cases up to $500,000) to grab more inventory, expand your storefront, or invest in your marketing, we can help you move quickly so you never miss another drop.

Your Move


Upcoming releases won’t wait—and neither should you. This could be the moment you take your card business to the next level. Send us your pitch and let’s see if you’re one of the 10 businesses we back this season.
