Compare the agreement behind the opening
Choose the outcome you care about before comparing pack artwork or a headline price. Keeping a physical card, accepting an operator offer and withdrawing a balance are different paths. A service that documents one path clearly may leave another unresolved.
The table summarises selected primary documents. It is not an exhaustive terms comparison or a recommendation for EU residents. Read each profile for its source scope; no transaction or delivery test is implied.
What the documents establish
| Platform | Physical item / custody | Sellback or balance | Access / delivery check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Courtyard | Physical redemption is documented; identity checks and charges apply. | The documented buyback uses the card's estimated value, not the pack price. | Shipping has exceptions. Confirm buying eligibility and your actual destination separately. |
| Arena Club | Slab Pack terms represent physical graded cards and describe vault services. | Terms describe offers credited to the Arena Club Wallet; read its withdrawal conditions. | Check current account and fulfilment rules for your location and product. |
| Ripit | Help describes a physical graded item allocated through each pack, with vault and shipping choices. | The help article describes an initial 24-hour offer and Sale Proceeds credit. | US and Puerto Rico in official access and shipping help; not an EU recommendation. |
| Packs.com | Help distinguishes multi-card Real Packs and curated Single Pulls; card withdrawal means shipping. | Sellback credits Coins, which cannot be cashed out or transferred. | Ireland shipping excluded. Other destinations and account access require individual checks; full terms remain a gap. |
Keep your comparison in the same units
- Record a pack price, an estimated card value and an actual offer in separate fields.
- Write down whether proceeds are cash, withdrawable funds, restricted credit or another unit.
- Compare delivery using the whole quote, including handling, insurance and possible destination charges.
- Save the particular product's checklist, odds, terms and check date. A platform-wide description may not cover it.
