Ultra Pro also recently purchased Jolly Roger Games, TableTopics, and the exclusive rights to Stone Blade Entertainment’s portfolio.
Ultra Pro’s immediate post-closing plans include investing in new inventory to ensure deep stock levels of its product lines along with pursuing the numerous projects that are in development.
