The bar is the $100 paid; the green part is what the average pack returns, paid as stablecoin and cash. Withdrawal fees and minimums are not in the figure. Only packs whose pages we read are listed, not every pack an app sells. For any other sort, use the pack finder.

2 ranked packs state an average above the price. None returns $100 in cash. Averages use each app's own card values, which the fair market value guide takes apart.

A missing term is a gap in what the app publishes or in what we read, not a verdict on the pack. Each app's terms are in its review. See also the pack finder.
Questions people ask
Which packs give the most back?
Of the 20 that can be ranked, Lastpack $5 Starter Pack returns the most on average: $95 per $100 if every card is sold straight back, paid in stablecoin. That is its stated average of 95% of the price, times a 100% sell-back. It is still less than the $100 paid.
Why rank on cash back and not card value?
Because card value is not what you can take out. 2 of the 20 ranked packs state an average above their price, and every one of them falls under $100 once the sell-back rate is applied. The highest stated average here, 110.6% at Collector Crypt, becomes $93.98.
Why are some packs listed and not ranked?
A cash figure needs a stated average, a sell-back rate and a payout in cash or stablecoin, all in writing. 40 of the 60 packs here lack one of them: for 35, the pack's own odds page was not read. Fanatics Instant Rips pays sell-backs in site credit, which is not money out.
Can you ship the card from a cheap pack?
Rarely for less than it is worth. At 5 of the 7 apps with a published fee, posting one $5 card costs $5 or more. 15 more apps that sell packs at $25 or less publish no single dollar figure for one card.

Every figure was read on public pages between 6 October 2026 and 7 October 2026. Nothing here has been tested with money yet. Averages, odds and card values are each app's own, read on its public pack pages; Collector Crypt's and Phygitals' move with stock. We earn nothing from any app on this list.
