Packz

Packz is an instant-reveal digital pack site from Packz, Inc. It posts odds on each pack page, offers an FMV-based buyback paid to your bank account, and runs a Sweat-Free first-pack offer. It's US-only, and unclaimed cards are auto-sold after 72 hours.

How buyback works

Packz offers to buy a revealed card back based on its fair market value, and the proceeds can be withdrawn to your registered bank account. Cards left in your collection for 72 hours are sold back to Packz automatically, so ship anything you want to keep before then.

DOPA

DOPA brings Japan's online oripa format to English-speaking collectors. Each pack shows its full prize pool with odds, and unwanted cards convert to credits rather than cash, which keeps you ripping. We rate it Caution for that reason.

How buyback works

DOPA lets you convert a card you don't want into credits at 100% of its listed value, but those credits can only be spent on more packs, not withdrawn as cash. Cards you keep are shipped, which DOPA says takes 7 to 10 days door to door.
