You can buy Null Signal cards from both our print-on-demand partners, MakePlayingCards and DriveThruCards, with two different card stocks available from MakePlayingCards. Each option provides different benefits in terms of card quality and shipping cost. As of December, 2022, you can also buy our cards from our own online store. This is currently available only in the United States and Australia, with more countries to be added gradually, and we are currently only stocking Midnight Sun and Parhelion, but more sets will be added very soon.
Additionally, we are working with various printers internationally to supply our authorized resellers with stock, in order to provide more affordable shipping to their local communities. Some of these resellers are game stores, others are community members shipping our cards out of their homes. In every case, they are vetted and trusted longstanding community members: if they are listed below, you can buy from them with confidence. The stock they sell varies depending on which printer supplies them, but we work with each printer to ensure their quality is up to our standards, and you can expect card stock at least as good as MakePlayingCards Standard, if not better.
Finally, our cards are available as pay-what-you-want PDFs for print-and-play at home. Cards printed this way are legal for all Netrunner tournaments and events, provided they’re cut neatly and placed in opaque sleeves with “backing cards”.
Below is a comparison of our different print options, as well as some things we’ve noticed when ordering our proofs! Prices do not include shipping. All the figures below are based on the December 2019 release of Uprising, a set containing 3× 65 cards (195 total). Exact prices will vary from product to product.

Authorized Resellers
- For cheaper shipping in the UK and most of Europe, visit netrunnercards.co.uk
- For cheaper shipping in Sweden and parts of northern Europe visit alltpaettkort.com
- For cheaper shipping in Australia and certain Asia-Pacific countries, visit netrunnercards.com.au (note: this storefront will be gradually moving all of its products to the Null Signal Games storefront)
- For cheaper shipping and no import duties in Brazil, visit valedotabuleiro.com.br (Brazilian Portuguese cards only)
- For Europe-wide bulk orders of each new set organized by the Spanish community, visit tipia.es (bulk orders normally only have an ordering window of a few days following the release of each new set, and are not available year-round or for our older products).
- Other trusted community members also organize bulk buys for their local players. Get in touch with your local community to learn whether a bulk-buy is being organized whenever a new product’s release is imminent, or ask in online Netrunner communities such as Green Level Clearance (navigate to the “Group Buys” section under “Utilities”), Facebook, Reddit, and the Stimhack Slack. The order window for these is usually active in the first few days following the release of a new set, but some are happy to accept orders for older sets as well, and a few (such as Reddit user Myldside) order excess stock and might have cards available at other times.
- Card stock and packaging may vary depending on which printer each stocks from, but will be at least equivalent to MakePlayingCards Standard Quality.
- In some cases, resellers might provide additional Null Signal Games products (such as Game Night Kits), or non-NSG products such as community-made alternate art cards and tokens for use with Netrunner.
- Please note that, unlike our print-on-demand partners, stock at authorized resellers’ sites can be depleted, and there can be a wait until they resupply. Please check stock availability on their storefronts before buying.
- As some of these resellers are focused on serving the local community in their own country, please check the product description to ensure the product is in the language you wish to order in, and contact the retailer if the description is unclear.
