How GrailCart and MrLoot differ
GrailCart builds its packs from graded cards, so every one gives a slab. A MrLoot Pokémon box mixes single cards, graded cards and sealed boxes in one list, so the same box can hand you a loose card or a boxed product.
We opened two MrLoot boxes under its welcome offer, first a welcome box and then one of its Pokémon boxes, and neither cost anything. The Pokémon one gave us a Bulbasaur from the 151 set, card 001, and the result screen asked straight away whether to keep it in our inventory or sell it back to the site. On GrailCart we read through the pack list, the pack pages and the checkout, and the pack pages stood out, naming each card a pack holds with its own rate and listed value, right down to the cheapest.
MrLoot's menu runs on to tech, fashion and luxury boxes and a long list of features beyond opening boxes, more than we cared for. If you want a graded card out of every pack, GrailCart fits. If you want tech and Pokémon under one login, MrLoot does that.
