Head-to-head comparisons
Our head-to-head pages put two rip sites side by side on score, buyback, pack prices, welcome offer, US shipping, payments and provably fair status. Below the table, we explain where the sites really differ and which kind of collector each one suits.
Which comparisons can you read?
- Courtyard vs Arena Club: instant buyback and third-party slabs against published hit rates and bank payouts.
- Courtyard vs Phygitals: a fee-free marketplace and priced shipping against provably fair draws and more card games.
- Courtyard vs LastPack: an established slab vault against odds shown before you buy, provably fair draws and cheaper packs.
- Courtyard vs MNSTR: two graded Pokémon slab sites, one with a long track record, one with published odds and no buyback deadline.
- LastPack vs MNSTR: two newer Pokémon and One Piece sites, provably fair cheap packs against a graded slab in every pack.
- Arena Club vs ClutchPacks: two sports-first sites with published checklists, bank payouts against real pull statistics.
- Courtyard vs GotYa: an established slab vault paying in USDC against a free pack, visible odds and bank cash-outs from a newer, riskier operator.
- BOXED vs PullBox: the two Magic: The Gathering mystery-box sites, ETH cash-out and cheap shipping against no cash-out and every state.
- PackDraw vs PullBox: two mystery-box sites with provably fair draws, crypto payouts against a US operator with no cash-out.
What should you compare between two rip sites?
- Buyback window and valuation, not just the rate. See our buyback rates comparison.
- Odds disclosure, from a published checklist to a provably fair draw.
- Who graded the cards, since third-party slabs are easier to resell elsewhere.
- How you get paid, by bank transfer or in crypto.
- Shipping and retrieval costs if you want the card in hand.
