Japan Trading Card Center Launches in the US: Repacks With Published Pull Rates

Japan Trading Card Center, the Japanese online repack service run by Japan Trading Card Center Co., Ltd., launched in the United States on October 9, 2026. Its Packs publish the pull rate for every tier and the full card list before you buy, pulled cards ship to your home with JTCC covering international shipping for now, and there is no cash buyback: cards you do not keep convert to points inside the service.

What JTCC actually is

JTCC has sold online repacks (oripa) in Japan since 2023, where its app holds 4.56 stars from 30,262 ratings on the Japanese App Store. Taiwan followed in May 2026 and Hong Kong in July, which makes the US the fourth market. The English app, sold as JTCC: TCG Packs & Repacks, went live on the US App Store on launch day and had no US ratings yet when we checked. In Japan the app sells packs for Pokemon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, MTG, Dragon Ball, Weiss Schwarz and Duel Masters, bought with in-app coins. JTCC has not published the US lineup or US prices outside the app, and the prizes run past cards: the release names game consoles and other hobby goods too.

The odds are published, the exit is points

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. The rates describe the pool as configured at release and change as packs sell, so a rate you read on Monday is a snapshot, not a standing promise (our guide to how to read pack odds covers what to do with numbers like these). There is no provably-fair system, and JTCC states plainly in the release that no specific card, grade or resale value is guaranteed.

The exit is where US readers should slow down. A card you pull can be delivered to your home, or exchanged for points inside the service. No exchange rate is published, and there is no cash route at all. Compare DOPA!, the other Japanese oripa service on our list: it converts cards to site credits at 100% of their point value, also with no cash-out, but the rate at least is stated. With JTCC, the value of the points exit is unknown until the company publishes the rate, and US pack prices in dollars are unpublished too, so there is no honest way to run the usual buyback math yet.

The shipping offer is the headline

International shipping is the quiet cost on Japanese platforms. DOPA charges shipping on low-value shipments, and its users report about a week from Japan to the US. JTCC says it currently covers international shipping costs for its overseas markets, with delivery unavailable in some regions it does not name. “Currently” is doing real work in that sentence: it reads as a launch offer, not a permanent term, and it can change. If it holds, a US buyer pays the pack price and nothing to get the card home, which is a different cost shape from most Japanese imports.

What we do not know yet

The US service is a week old. There are no US reviews, no US shipping reports and no Trustpilot profile we could tie to the service, and US pack prices are not published outside the app. What exists is a three-year home-market record on the Japanese App Store and a detailed launch release. Our Japan Trading Card Center listing labels every launch claim as the company’s own until reports come in. For the same format with fully published terms from day one, GodPack launched last week with its terms and sell-back rate public.

We will update the listing as US reviews, shipping reports and published prices appear. A service with 30,000 ratings at home will not stay unreviewed in the US for long.

You must be 18 or older to use Japan Trading Card Center. Pack sites cost real money and the cards you pull are usually worth less than the pack price. Only spend what you are comfortable losing.
