Our Story

Gilbert Laurence Cards is more than just another trading card retailer—it's the next chapter in a family business that has been built on trust, passion and exceptional customer service for over 50 years.

Since 1975, our family has proudly grown Gilbert Laurence Limited into one of the UK's leading suppliers of industrial fixings and fastenings. For more than 30 years, we've had the privilege of supplying some of the biggest names in the Film & Television industry, supporting productions behind the scenes on countless blockbuster films and iconic television series.

As the next generation joined the family business, we wanted to continue building on that legacy while exploring new opportunities inspired by our own passions.

Trading card games have always been part of our lives.

Like so many collectors, we grew up opening Pokémon packs, duelling with Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in the playground, and later discovering the incredible worlds of Magic: The Gathering and many other trading card games. Those memories never left us, and what began as a childhood hobby has become a genuine passion that we wanted to share with others.

Gilbert Laurence Cards was created to bring that passion together with everything we've learned from over five decades in business. We believe great customer service, honest advice, competitive pricing and building long-term relationships matter just as much as the products we sell.

Whether you're opening your very first booster pack, chasing that elusive grail card, or expanding a collection you've spent years building, we want to create a place where collectors and players alike feel welcome.

This isn't simply another online card shop.

It's our passion project.

And we're only just getting started.
