How it works
Four steps from picking a pack to holding a real graded card: choose, open, decide, ship or sell. Plus the questions everyone asks.
- 1
Pick a pack
Each pack shows its price, grade guarantee, guaranteed minimum value, buyback rate, expected value and the current top chase. Check the odds grid; those are the numbers the draw uses.
- 2
Open it instantly
Tear the wrapper on screen. The server rolls a fresh seed, picks a tier from the published distribution, then picks one physical card from the unreserved inventory in that tier. It is reserved to you in the same transaction that charges your wallet.
- 3
Decide, in your own time
The card lands in your vault. Hold it for as long as you like. There is no deadline and no storage fee.
- 4
Ship it or sell it back
Ship the physical graded card to your door with tracking, or take the instant buyback: the pack's published rate times the card's current market value, credited to your wallet immediately.
Fairness, in plain words
Every pull is independent. We generate a new 32-byte server seed for each pull, hash it with a nonce, and turn the result into a number between 0 and 1. That number lands in exactly one tier band of the pack's current distribution. No previous pull, no account history and no spend affects it. The reveal screen has a Verify button that shows the seed, the roll and the bands so you can reproduce it yourself.
Odds are shown as ranges because inventory is finite and real. When a tier sells out it drops to 0% and the remaining tiers renormalise. The table you see is recomputed from live stock.
Questions
- Do I need an account?
- Yes, for pulls, wallet and delivery history. That is what makes the ship-or-sell choice possible later rather than on the spot.
- How long can I hold a card in the vault?
- Indefinitely. There is no deadline and no fee for holding.
- How is the buyback offer calculated?
- Buyback rate multiplied by the card's current market value, rounded to the cent. The rate is published on every pack.
- What does the grade guarantee mean?
- Every card in that pack's pool has a grade at or above the stated number from its grading company. If it says 9.5, you cannot pull an 8.
- What is the God Pack?
- A small chance on any pull that opens five cards at once, all drawn from the pack's top two tiers. The probability is published on the store.
- Can two people pull the same card?
- No. Each physical card is one inventory item. It is reserved atomically when drawn, so it can only ever be pulled once until it is sold back.
- Is there a pity timer?
- No. Pulls are independent by design, and we say so in the code.
