Where to buy the official NMJL card
The National Mah Jongg League card is copyrighted and sold only by the NMJL — via its website (nationalmahjongg.org), or through league-registered teachers and clubs that place group orders. No factory or wholesale supplier can legitimately print or bundle it.
The three legitimate sources
- nationalmahjongg.org — the League's own site; order directly for the current league year.
- Registered teachers and clubs — many collect group orders each spring when the new card releases; buying through them also supports the League's charities.
- League-authorized retail partners — a small number of US retailers resell cards; verify they're ordering through the NMJL.
What suppliers can provide around the card
While the card itself is off-limits, the card holder that stands the card upright at the table is a standard accessory — and a natural add-on for sets you sell. Our accessories category includes card holders, and our NMJL card explainer covers what the card actually contains and why it changes every year.
