Question
How do you get started with pack ripping?
Short answer
Pick one platform with published odds, start with its cheapest pack, and decide in advance whether you'll keep or sell back.
- Try the free simulator to see how pulls and buybacks feel.
- Choose a platform for what you collect: Pokémon, sports or One Piece.
- Read its buyback, storage and shipping terms.
- Start with a low-price pack and set a budget.
- Check the cert number on your first pull.
