How long can you keep a card? Card rip auto-sell timers compared

Updated · Verified Repack editorial · examples are illustrative; we make no return, RTP or EV claims about any platform

Short answer

Anywhere from one minute to a week. Underdog Rips gives 3 days, PrizePicks 24 hours, Packz 72 hours and Rips by Triumph about 7 days, while Packed reportedly allows one day and Trove's top rate lasts under a minute (55 seconds, per its Terms). These are advertised windows; the timer in each app is what counts.

Why the timer matters

Most card rip apps store your pull for a while, then sell it back for you if you don't choose. That's convenient for cards you'd sell anyway, but it can take the physical card away if you wanted to keep it.

Know the timer before you rip, and request shipping on anything you want in hand.

Short windows

Trove's homepage says its buyback is 100% of FMV for the first minute, 93% for the next hour and 90% after; its Terms say 55 seconds and let Trove change or withdraw offers. Underdog Rips sells $1-pack cards back after 60 minutes.

PrizePicks gives 24 hours from opening the pack. PackRipper reports Packed auto-sells after one day; Packed's own terms say the Vault tab shows the current window.

A few days

Packz sells cards back after 72 hours in your collection, and its terms make buyback offers discretionary. Underdog Rips gives 3 days on regular packs, and Collector Crypt's buyback offer on Jupiter Gacha closes 3 days after the pull.

About a week, or no deadline

RotoWire reports Rips by Triumph lets cards sit in the vault for up to 7 days. CrownCards' terms allow holding items for up to seven days, after which it may require you to ship or sell.

Tilt Rips offers free vaulting with a 90% sell-back and no forced deadline.

Timers aren't value

A longer window gives you time to check sold prices; it doesn't change what a card is worth. None of these terms say anything about what a pack will pay out.
