Bulk Cards vs Inventory Surplus Packs – What’s the Difference?

What does “bulk” mean in trading card games?

In the TCG world, bulk cards usually refer to large quantities of low-value cards sold cheaply.
Most bulk lots are random, unsorted, and the contents are often unknown.

👉 This is why bulk sometimes has a bad reputation.


Our approach to bulk: organized and transparent

At L’Univers de la Carte, we do things differently.

Our bulk packs are created from real inventory surplus, but they are:

  • ✔️ Organized (by game, set, or color)
  • ✔️ Non-random
  • ✔️ Fully disclosed
  • ✔️ Clearly priced
  • ✔️ Perfect for budget players and deck building

👉 You always know exactly what you’re getting.


Why our bulk packs are more affordable

Our pricing is lower because:

  • we work with genuine surplus inventory
  • we avoid waste
  • we focus on accessibility rather than rarity

This makes our packs ideal for:

  • new players
  • casual players
  • collectors sorting by theme or color
