Scores are computed, not written: the same five criteria with the same thresholds run over every operator. Where a site publishes nothing on a criterion it drops out of that operator's average rather than counting as a zero. How we rate.
In short
GEMINT measured 99.7% coming back per dollar across 211,074 sampled pulls, with a typical rip of 88.9%. Sell-back runs at about 90%, settled in crypto.

Our read on GEMINT
GEMINT is a card-rip site: graded pokemon packs, redeem the slab or sell it back. You buy a digital pack at a set price, open it to reveal one real graded card, and then choose an exit, ship the slab or sell it back. What separates the operators in this category is rarely the thrill; it's the exit terms and whether the published odds survive contact with the real pull feed.
Across 211,074 sampled pulls we measured 99.7% of every dollar coming back in card value, gross, before cash-out. The typical rip, the median rather than the average, is 88.9%. That gap is not a contradiction: it is what a one-card-per-pack format looks like when a small number of large hits carry the mean. Most rips land at or below the pack price, which is why we lead with the median everywhere.
The strongest pack in its catalogue on our board is Pokemon 30th Celebration Pack at 113.3% typical from 17,840 pulls. The full catalogue, with the distribution behind each pack, is on the packs tab.
On the terms side: sell-back runs at about 90%, settled in crypto. The complete term-by-term picture, including everything the site does not state, is on the trust tab.
Their odds, packs and terms are theirs to change, and this page reflects what was published when we checked it on 2026-10-04. Rip within a budget you're happy to spend on the entertainment.

GEMINT: frequently asked questions
Is GEMINT legit?+
GEMINT pays out real, professionally graded cards from a vault, and we measure what actually comes back from its public pull feed rather than taking its odds on trust. Across 211,074 sampled pulls we observed 99.7% of every dollar coming back in card value, gross, before cash-out. Facts it doesn't publish are listed as not verified rather than guessed.
How do GEMINT payouts work?+
You either ship the physical card or sell it back at roughly 90%, paid in crypto. Shipping the slab captures the most value; the buyback is the fast path.
What is the typical return on GEMINT?+
The typical rip, the median across sampled pulls, is 88.9%. The site-wide average is 99.7%: it sits higher because a handful of big hits carry it. The gap between those two numbers is the honest picture of a one-card-per-pack site.
How often do you get your money back on GEMINT?+
Across 209,158 openings we recorded on GEMINT, 22.3% came back worth at least what the pack cost. The rest landed below it. That is the number to plan around: one card per pack means most openings sit near or under the price, and the occasional big hit is what pulls the average up.
What is the biggest pull recorded on GEMINT?+
The largest single outcome we have on record is Pikachu [1st Edition] #60 Pokemon Jungle (PSA 10) out of Pokemon 30th Celebration Pack, worth 4333.3% of the pack price. It is one opening out of 209,158, so treat it as the tail of the distribution rather than something to expect.
Are the expensive packs on GEMINT better value than the cheap ones?+
Not automatically, and the data lets you check rather than guess. In the under $25 band we recorded 50,771 openings, of which 22.0% came back worth at least the pack price. In the $100 to $499 band, across 43,108 openings, that figure is 21.7%. So the cheaper packs returned the price more often here, which is a fact about GEMINT and not a rule that carries to other sites.
Do GEMINT's published odds match reality?+
We compare every stated tier against what we actually recorded. The widest gap on GEMINT is the D tier of Pokemon Starter Pack: advertised at 32.0%, observed at 29.0% across 9,526 openings. That gap runs against the buyer. Gaps this size need a large sample before they mean anything, which is why we only report tiers with at least 200 recorded openings.

Share of openings by what the card was worth against the pack price. One card per pack, so the bar on the left is the ordinary outcome and the tail on the right is what people remember.
Does paying more change the odds?
| Pack price | Packs | Openings | Got the price back | Typical rip, per pack |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $25 | 2 | 50,771 | 22.0% | 60.0% to 86.7% |
| $25 to $99 | 3 | 115,279 | 22.6% | 88.0% to 113.3% |
| $100 to $499 | 2 | 43,108 | 21.7% | 85.0% to 88.0% |
The last column is the range across the individual packs in that price band, not an average: each pack's typical rip is a median, and medians of different packs cannot be averaged into one. Bands with fewer than 200 recorded openings are left out entirely.
Do the published odds hold?
On Pokemon Starter Pack, the D tier is advertised at 32.0% and came in at 29.0% across 9,526 recorded openings. That is the widest gap between stated and observed odds we found on GEMINT, and it falls against the buyer.
In October 2026 we recorded 26,686 openings on GEMINT, with a typical rip of 80.0%. See how every site did that month.
