Most of the rip sites Rip.fan ranks offer to buy back a card the moment its pack opens. The offers differ in three ways: how much of the card’s value they pay, how long they stay open, and whether the money lands in a balance you can withdraw or in credit for the site. Packed, TiltRips and Gotya publish all three:

  • Packed

    How the offer is set
    100% of the card's fair market value, fixed the moment it comes out of the pack, with no fee
    Open for
    24 hours
    Paid as
    Account balance, which can be withdrawn
  • TiltRips

    How the offer is set
    90% of the card's live market value, with no fee
    Open for
    No deadline
    Paid as
    Account balance, at once
  • Gotya

    How the offer is set
    90% of fair market value for a graded card and the full value for a raw card, an optional offer

How much of the card’s value does each site pay?

Two sites pay the full value. Packed buys any card back at 100% of its fair market value, fixed the moment it comes out of the pack, with no fee. Rips by Triumph makes its offer at the app’s own value for the card, set when you bought the pack. Packs.com also pays the full value a card had when it was revealed, with no fee.

Several pay a set share:

  • TiltRips: 90% of the card’s live market value, with no fee.
  • Gotya: 90% of fair market value for a graded card and the full value for a raw one.
  • Slabz: at least 85% of the card’s current value.

Others set the share pack by pack:

  • Phygitals: from 85% to 100% of the card’s listed value, depending on the pack.
  • Glyde: 85% to 93% of the card’s value, higher on its dearer packs, shown before you open it.
  • Collector Crypt: 85%, 90% or 93% of the card’s listed value, depending on the pack.

Shiny pays by the day. A card from a standard pack gets a quick sale offer of 94.39% of its market value, less a 2% fee, for the first 24 hours, then 85% less the same fee until day 7.

How long does each offer stay open?

TiltRips sets no deadline: a card can go back whenever you want. Rips by Triumph holds its offer for at least seven days, and Drip Shop Live shows a set offer when the pack opens and keeps it for 7 days. Slabz keeps its offer open for 72 hours.

Packed works on a 24-hour clock and trades the card in for you if you let it run out: a card left in its vault past 24 hours is sold back at its fixed value. Gotya’s offer stays open for the time shown with it.

How is the money paid?

Packed, TiltRips and Gotya pay an accepted offer into your account balance at once. Packed’s balance can be withdrawn, TiltRips lets you take the money out from there, and Gotya lets it go on from your balance to your PayPal account.

Packs.com pays its trade-in as site credit. It buys packs, cards and shipping on Packs.com and cannot be withdrawn, so treat it as store credit.

How do you judge an offer?

Set the offer against a recent sale of the same card in the same grade, and note the deadline first so it doesn’t lapse while you check. Our guide to judging an instant trade-in offer works through the sums, and vault or ship it home? weighs the other choices. For a raw Pokémon card, the card price lookup gives its NM market price.

Rip.fan does not recommend Courtyard, Fanatics Collect or Arena Club, so their offers are left out of this comparison. These terms are as the sites published them between October 14 and October 26, 2026, so read the offer screen before you accept.
