Every term you'll run into on a pack ripping site, in plain English.

Buyback

The platform's offer to purchase your pull, quoted as a percentage of fair market value.

Chase card

The rarest, most valuable card a pack can contain; it drives the headline max pull.

Checklist

The full list of cards a pack can contain, often with odds per tier.

EV (expected value)

The average value per pack over many rips: each outcome's value times its probability, summed. Try the EV calculator.

FMV (fair market value)

The value a platform assigns a card, usually from recent sales of the same card and grade.

Gacha

A capsule-machine style pack format, popular on onchain platforms.

Gem Mint 10

The top standard grade at PSA. CGC and BGS also have Pristine 10 and Black Label grades.

Grail

A long-sought, high-value card.

Max pull

The most valuable card a pack can produce. Most pulls land far below it.

Pack style

Provably fair

A draw whose randomness can be checked after the fact, often with VRF.

Pull

The card you reveal when you open a pack.

Redeem

Take the physical card out of the vault and have it shipped.

Repack

A pack assembled by a seller from individual cards rather than sealed by the manufacturer.

Rip

Opening a pack.

Slab

The sealed plastic case a graded card comes in, with a label and certificate number.

SWAP

Beezie's name for its buyback offer.

Tokenized card

A physical card represented by a token on a blockchain, such as Polygon or Solana.

Vault

Insured, climate-controlled storage where platforms hold cards until you redeem them.

VRF

Verifiable random function: public randomness used for provably fair draws.

Put the terms to work: run a pack through the EV calculator or try the free simulator.

Rip responsibly

Pulls are random and a card can be worth far less than the pack. Set a budget before you start and stick to it.
