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
Vaultr measured 99.0% coming back per dollar across 26,057 sampled pulls, with a typical rip of 84.9%. Sell-back runs at about 90%, settled in null.

Our read on Vaultr
Vaultr is a card-rip site: psa slab packs with a live opening feed and a tiered buyback. 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 26,057 sampled pulls we measured 99.0% of every dollar coming back in card value, gross, before cash-out. The typical rip, the median rather than the average, is 84.9%. 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 Lite Pack at 87.3% typical from 10,343 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 null. 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.

Vaultr: frequently asked questions
Is Vaultr legit?+
Vaultr 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 26,057 sampled pulls we observed 99.0% 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 Vaultr payouts work?+
You either ship the physical card or sell it back at roughly 90% as store credit. Shipping the slab captures the most value; the buyback is the fast path.
What is the typical return on Vaultr?+
The typical rip, the median across sampled pulls, is 84.9%. The site-wide average is 99.0%: 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 Vaultr?+
Across 26,056 openings we recorded on Vaultr, 35.4% 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 Vaultr?+
The largest single outcome we have on record is Charizard-Holo out of Starter Pack, worth 3899.2% of the pack price. It is one opening out of 26,056, so treat it as the tail of the distribution rather than something to expect.
Are the expensive packs on Vaultr better value than the cheap ones?+
Not automatically, and the data lets you check rather than guess. In the under $25 band we recorded 10,343 openings, of which 38.5% came back worth at least the pack price. In the $500 and up band, across 294 openings, that figure is 28.5%. So the cheaper packs returned the price more often here, which is a fact about Vaultr and not a rule that carries to other sites.

Does paying more change the odds?
| Pack price | Packs | Openings | Got the price back | Typical rip, per pack |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $25 | 1 | 10,343 | 38.5% | 87.3% to 87.3% |
| $25 to $99 | 3 | 15,158 | 33.6% | 76.0% to 86.0% |

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.
