How Slabz works and makes money

You pay by card or in USDC and one graded card is revealed as an NFT, with the slab held in a partner's vault. Sell it back within 72 hours for USDC, keep it, or have it shipped.

A free rip at Slabz's real published odds. No money, no real cards.

Questions about how Slabz works

How does Slabz work?

You pay by card or in USDC and open a pack in a browser. One graded card is revealed as an NFT, with the slab held in Collector Crypt's vault. For 72 hours you can sell it back for USDC, at “at least 85%” of its current value. After that you keep it or pay to have it shipped.

How does Slabz make money?

Its own pages state: shipping or retrieval fee, auction bid fee and game tickets. Not published: sell-back discount, fee on a sell-back, partner fee on a pack and turbo Mode sale price. We do not estimate margins or what Slabz pays for cards.

Where do Slabz's cards come from?

From Collector Crypt Inc. Slabz's terms say it “handles sourcing, grading, vaulting, and on-chain operations” and picks each card “from their inventory”. On 7 October 2026 all eight Slabz Pokémon packs matched a machine in Collector Crypt's public list on price and stated average, to within two cents. How that stock is bought is not published.

Is the Slabz sell-back rate 85%?

“At least 85% of its current value” is on the How it works tab of all eight Pokémon packs; the terms state no rate. Collector Crypt's list gives the matching machines 85%, 90% or 93%. Slabz does not say which it pays, and its reveal screen can say “No sell offer on this slab right now.”

How does Slabz pay you?

In USDC, to the balance on your account. That withdraws to any Solana wallet, or to a bank account, Venmo or PayPal in the US, UK, Eurozone and Brazil after an identity check. No fee, minimum or payout time is published.

What is the catch with Slabz?

Three things, in its own words. The sell-back closes after 72 hours and an offer is not guaranteed. Turbo Mode sells common pulls for you on any multi-pack rip, at a rate that is not stated. And Slabz “does not control the physical cards, vaulting, or redemption process”: its partner does.
