Turning a Brand’s Fan Base Into a Trading Card Ecosystem
By Alain Paquin · March 5, 2026 · 2 min read
The Need
Brands with strong fan communities often struggle to monetize engagement beyond traditional merchandise.
At the same time, collectibles have become a major global market. Trading cards alone represent a multi-billion-dollar segment within the broader collectibles industry, which continues to expand as nostalgia-driven markets grow.
Entertainment-themed trading cards are currently one of the fastest-growing categories, with an expected 8.2% annual growth rate.
The Strategy
Launch an official trading card program using Holocards.
Existing brand content becomes collectible cards.

seasonal releases
