How MrLoot and Rips by Triumph differ
A Rips by Triumph pack page shows the floor and the ceiling of what the pack can give and nothing in between. MrLoot fills in the middle, putting a rate and the item's listed value on every tile of its box pages.
Triumph's offer on a card equals the value its app gives it, and the app takes that offer for you once a card has gone unshipped too long, so every card wants a quick decision. Each one you do ship travels in its own package to a US address. On our new MrLoot account, the open button wore a free tag for both of the boxes we tried.
Triumph is the pick for a collector who wants a pack opening to feel like an event on a phone, with sports packs besides. A Pokémon buyer who also has an eye on a TV, a VR headset or a video console can open boxes of those on MrLoot's website, next to its Pokémon boxes.
