Phygitals vs Royale.gg

Cards are a small part of Royale.gg. Clothing, watches, jewelry and electronics fill its tabs, and in the box pages we looked through, a single graded Pokémon card turned up among the collectibles. Phygitals is cards and only cards, graded and raw, running from Pokémon to a long list of sports packs.

Both show how often things come up before you buy, sliced differently. Royale.gg puts a figure beside each thing listed in a box, along with its picture and listed value. Phygitals gives a figure for each value range in a pack, so you see how values fall across the pack.

We have bought and opened Phygitals packs both in a browser and in its phone app, and the two behave as one shop, down to the sealed slab the app shows before each card. Royale.gg comes with much more than boxes to open, and we would pass on those extras, though we can see why some readers like them.

Royale.gg makes sense for someone browsing designer fashion, a luxury watch or golf gear, for whom a card would be an afterthought. For cards, and for having them shipped home, stay with Phygitals.
