About

PackLab

Features
Read full description

PackLab is a trading card shop where every pack holds real cards you own. Open a pack in the app, see each card's market value, then keep it in your Vault, ship it home, or sell it back for store credit. HOW IT WORKS - Buy Sparks, PackLab's store credit (1 Spark = 1 cent). Sparks have no cash value and can't be withdrawn or transferred. - Pick a set, check its card list and published pull rates, and open a pack. Slice it open with your finger and watch each card's value count up as it's revealed. - Every card you pull goes to your Vault: a real card that's yours to keep, ship, or sell back. SHIP REAL CARDS HOME - Ship any card to a US or Canadian address for a flat $4.99 per card. Cards going to Canada add $5 per card. - Pick several cards and send them in one request. Each card ships on its own. - Cards worth $100 or more ship insured and signature-required, with a 5% insurance and handling fee on the card's value. - Cards are sourced to order. Shipping can take up to 30 days, and most cards arrive sooner. - If we can't source a card you asked us to ship, you get 100% of its market value back in Sparks, plus your fee. SELL BACK INSTANTLY - Don't want a card? Sell it back on the spot for 85% of its market value, paid in Sparks. - Sell-backs pay store credit, never cash. PROVABLY FAIR - Every box is sealed with a cryptographic commitment before its first pack sells, and its shuffle is pinned to a public randomness beacon. - When a box sells out, everything is published so anyone can re-check it at packlab.gg/verify. - Pull rates for every set are published before you buy. MORE IN THE APP - Browse and filter every card in a set. - Mystery Packs, the Market for specific single cards, and the Grail Pack. - Rewards, VIP levels, collection milestones, and referrals. - A leaderboard ranked by XP. No prizes. - Share your best pulls as a branded card image. - Full Sparks and shipment history. - Help and support messages, right in the app. GOOD TO KNOW - 18+ only. Cards ship to the United States and Canada. - Sparks are closed-loop store credit: no cash-out, no withdrawals. - Packs are a purchase of cards, not an investment. Card values move like any collectible. - Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. Delete your account any time from Profile.
