Will tariffs impact card prices?

I know a lot of trading cards and comic books used to be printed in Canada, but I'm not sure if that's still the case. Anything still printed there or overseas?

I did order some plastic comic book boxes in bulk from Comic Pro Line in Canada in Feb., and they asked me if still wanted them because I was going to get hit with tariffs because they were made in China. I said yes, and they shipped them, but I didn't get hit with any tariffs because Trump stopped the tariffs at the last second back then.

I believe a lot of trading card supplies are produced in China, like penny sleeves, trading card boxes, one touches, etc., from some brands, so card supplies may see a price increase.

I tend to order my comic and trading card supplies in bulk (1,000 bags/boards at a time and 10,000 penny sleeves at a time), so I am probably good on buying any for quite a while at this point.
