Vault

A vault is insured storage where a site keeps the cards it sells, so you can hold, sell or trade a card without having it shipped to you.

In more detail

A rip site keeps the card you open in its vault until you decide. Fanatics Collect describes its vault as climate-controlled storage with security, and says cards bought on its marketplace can be curated into the vault and fully insured for free. A card stays in the vault until you sell it, trade it in or ask for it to be shipped.

A vault saves postage and speeds up a sale, because the card is already in one place. The trade-off is that you do not hold the card, so you rely on the site's records and its terms.

Before you use one, read what it costs to put a card in and to take one out. Fees to ship a card out are common, and they can depend on how long the card has been stored.
