### 1/5 — Instant Rips is a Scam

*2026-08-25, version 6.23*

Tried out instant rips with a $150 pack and received a $40 slab. How is that possible? Any other site I’ve used, the minimum is at least 50%. I have deleted the app and won’t be ever using fanatics collect instant rips or even the app in general ever again. This is crazy.

### 4/5 — Card I needed

*2026-08-24, version 6.23*

Was able to find a card I’ve been chasing on here but the “buyer premium” on top is ridiculous! Extra 20%!! I hope no other cards I need come available on here lol

### 5/5 — Fanatics

*2026-08-24, version 6.23*

I love everything about this just needs trading

### 5/5 — W

*2026-08-23, version 6.23*

It’s a incredible app

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-23, version 6.22.1*

: )

### 2/5 — Glitchy app

*2026-08-21*

Impossible to scroll and search auction items without the app crashing.

**Developer response:** Hey there! It sounds like you’ve been having a tough time with the app crashing while trying to scroll and search auction items.

Fanatics Support.

### 1/5 — Awful service

*2026-08-20, version 6.22.1*

Took 2 months to get a premier 1 card graded with PSA and another 1 week before they curated it

### 2/5 — Don’t waste your time or energy with this app

*2026-08-19, version 6.22.1*

Identity verification took way too long, held up access to my own account for no good reason. And once you’re in, good luck cashing out — the app pushes you hard to keep spending the balance instead of transferring it to your bank. Feels less like a card and more like a way to keep your money locked in their ecosystem. Fix the verification delays and make withdrawals as easy as spending.

### 2/5 — Lots of fees, app hangs

*2026-08-17, version 6.22.1*

App becomes extremely laggy as you continue to use it, especially when scrolling through multiple pages of listings. Fees are a bit ridiculous (buyers fee, credit card fee)

### 5/5 — Fanatics collect

*2026-08-17, version 6.22.1*

Awesome website works great and no problems
