Bring Your Own Trading Card Brand to Life
You have the idea and the artwork. We turn it into a real trading card release: set structure, card design, premium production, sealed packs and a digital binder, under your name, not ours.
For artists, illustrators, photographers, creators and small brands launching a first release.
Series 1 · Sold outProduced by TCM
Joey Feldman Trading Cards
Joey Feldman is an artist who wanted to launch his own trading card line built on his portraits. He came to us with the artwork and the idea. We handled everything it took to turn that into a release he could put his name on.
It’s his brand. TCM is the studio behind the design, release structure and manufacturing. Series 1, Musical Portraits: a 43-card checklist built from twelve base portraits, from Bowie to Billy Strings, with black and white variants, foil parallels, a studio series and a short print, sealed in a custom silver foil wrapper. Twenty-two cards in the release are one-of-a-kind, drawn by hand.
Series 1 went on sale September 18 at 2pm Eastern. Every pack and every box was gone in three minutes, and Series 2 is already in the works.
Upper Crust Art Card Series
Before we helped anyone else launch a brand, we launched one. Upper Crust is our own artist-driven collectible series: original pizza-character artwork, packed and released the way a real hobby product is.
Every pack carries seven cards, a sticker and a mini card. We designed the identity, structured the set, printed it, sealed it and shipped it. It’s the release we test everything on first, so when we structure yours, it’s from having done it end to end.
You bring the idea. We build the release.
Every part of getting a card line from a folder of artwork to sealed packs in collectors’ hands.
Concept & set structure
We work with you to decide what the base set is, what earns a subset, and how many cards a first release should carry.
Card design
Fronts, backs, borders, numbering and the checklist, designed around your artwork and your brand mark.
Print production
Premium stock, specialty finishes and parallels. Printed and cut at Archway Press, our family’s print shop near Philadelphia, with local manufacturing partners for specialty finishes and packaging.
Foil packs & packaging
Custom printed fin-seal wrappers, sealed and ready to open. Boxes and display options when the run calls for it.
Collation & rarity
Controlled pack contents, short prints and chase cards so opening packs feels like opening packs.
Vault digital binder
Your set gets a digital home where collectors can browse the checklist and track what they’ve pulled.
How we structure a first release.
A brand isn’t just cards in a box. The structure is what makes people open a second pack. This is how Joey’s Series 1 is built, with the real pull odds.
Base set
Musical Portraits, MP-01 to MP-12. The twelve cards the whole release is built on.
Variants
Black and white treatments of all twelve, BW-01 to BW-12.
Parallels
Foil versions of the base set, MP-01F to MP-12F.
Insert sets & short prints
A five-card Studio Series, plus two Boy Boy cards held back as short prints.
Signed & hand finished
Fifty signed and numbered, and twenty-five hand embellished by Joey, every one different.
One of ones
Twenty-two original hand-drawn cards. Ten seeded into packs, twelve locked inside the numbered God Boxes.
Sealed packs
Six cards a pack, five hundred packs, twelve God Boxes, and every pack guaranteed at least one chase card. All of it sold in three minutes.
Joey Feldman Trading Cards is a JF Wet Ink release. The brand, the artwork and the name on the pack are his. TCM designed the set, structured the release and manufactured it.
If you’ve got a body of work, you’ve got a set.
Artists & illustrators
Portrait series, character work, sketch cards. Your originals become a set people can collect.
Photographers
A body of work reorganized as a checklist rather than a print run.
Creators & communities
Cards built around a channel, a podcast, a cast of regulars.
Small brands
A collectible product line that carries your name into the hobby.
