How FMV is set

Fair Market Value is PrizePicks' data-backed estimate of what a card is worth, built from independent third-party providers. The offer is 100% of that number.

Check recent sold listings for the same card and grade. If they're well above FMV, shipping and selling yourself may be worth the fees and the wait.

What the tiers tell you

Each pack lists tiers with an FMV range and the share of cards in each tier. They tell you how much of the pack sits in the lower tiers, which matters more than the GOAT cards shown at the top.

PrizePicks calls these percentages estimates that move with card availability, so re-check before every rip.

The 24-hour Locker deadline

A card in your Locker must be sold back or shipped within 24 hours. Decide your rule before you rip: sell anything under a set value, ship anything above it.

Shipping instead of selling

PrizePicks ships to US street addresses only and shows the fee before you confirm. You can cancel within an hour of requesting shipment.
