Turning Existing Card Assets Into New Revenue
By Alain Paquin · March 5, 2026 · 2 min read
The Need
Trading card publishers often possess decades of artwork, photography, and intellectual property.
However, once a print run sells out, those assets typically stop generating revenue.
Meanwhile, collector demand for rare and nostalgic content continues to rise. Limited-edition releases alone account for a 33% increase in demand within the collectibles market.
In addition, vintage cards are one of the fastest-growing segments of the market, projected to grow at 7.3% annually through 2030.
The Strategy
Publishers digitize existing assets and release curated digital collections on the Holocards platform.
Instead of producing new physical sets, they create digital releases built from archived content.
Benefits
Monetization of dormant assets
Extremely low production costs
Faster product launches
Multiple revenue cycles from the same content
The Approach
Publishers launch themed digital sets such as:
Anniversary collections
Legendary player series
Rare artwork editions
Behind-the-scenes content
Collectors buy packs, trade cards, and complete sets.
This turns dormant IP into recurring digital products.
ROI Impact
Digital distribution eliminates:
manufacturing costs
logistics costs
unsold inventory risks
Publishers dramatically improve asset ROI while extending the lifecycle of their intellectual property.
