Trove
Trove is a 2026 digital pack platform run by Trove Inc. It posts odds and chase cards, and its buyback starts at 100% of FMV for the first minute before stepping down. It's newer than most platforms we cover, and its published buyback tiers don't all match.
How buyback works
Trove's buyback offer drops with time: its homepage says 100% of FMV for the first minute, 93% for the next hour, then 90% any time after. An independent review site found different tiers in Trove's Terms, so check the offer on screen before you accept.

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Packz offers to buy a revealed card back based on its fair market value, and the proceeds can be withdrawn to your registered bank account.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.
