Rip platforms, side by side

A pull platform sells a digital pack that reveals a card already held in a vault, then offers to buy it back. Here is how each one works, as its own terms and pages describe it. We do not rank packs, recommend platforms or carry referral links.

The gap

Every pull is a claim on a card in someone’s vault. No platform publishes an independent count of what the vault holds.

Pack values and buy-backs are set from each platform’s own marks or from one price service. Comparison sites rank packs on those same numbers. The record that would make them checkable is the one underneath: that the card exists, that its cert is intact, that the vault holds it, and that its value comes from independent sales.

As each platform’s terms, help pages and docs stated them when we read them, 16 October 2026. “Not confirmed” means we could not confirm it from the platform’s own pages. Terms change; corrections are welcome at hello@brich.house. Not legal, financial or gambling advice.
