Vaultd turns every pack into a real, physical trading card — professionally graded (PSA, CGC, BGS, or TAG) or raw, drawn from a published pool and shipped to your door or sold back on the spot. HOW IT WORKS • Choose a pack tier. Every tier publishes its full outcome odds in-app, by percentage of the pool, before you buy. • Open it. You're assigned one specific, physically existing card from that tier's published pool. • Decide on your schedule. For seven days you hold a redeemable position in that exact card. Ship it to your verified address, or sell it back at 95% of fair market value — a marketplace repurchase, not a payout. • No action needed. If you don't decide within the window, we complete the sale automatically at the card's fair market value and credit your account, with at least 24 hours' notice first. WHAT'S IN THE VAULT Inventory spans professionally graded slabs and raw (ungraded) cards, each individually identified and traceable to your position. Every pack's full odds are published on the pack page and at our public odds page before you ever tap buy. REAL GOODS, NOT VIRTUAL CREDIT Nothing you purchase unlocks app features, digital currency, or in-game credit. Every purchase is a purchase of physical goods — a specific, existing trading card you can hold, ship, or sell back. Your wallet balance is US dollars, spent only on physical cards and shipping; it is never redeemable for cash on its own and never expires into some other kind of credit. BUILT FOR TRUST • Provably fair draws — every pack's random seed is cryptographically committed before you open it and independently verifiable afterward at our public verifier. • Full published odds for every tier, before you buy, not after. • Identity verification and sanctions screening protect the marketplace. • Responsible-purchase tools, including account pauses, are available in Settings. Vaultd is intended for collectors 18 and older, in the United States only. All purchases are processed by a licensed third-party payment provider; the app itself uses no in-app purchases. Full terms are available in-app and at our Terms of Service.
PackLab

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 Sparks have no cash value and can't be withdrawn or transferred.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.
