Packs.com vs Boxed.gg: buyback, payouts and shipping compared

šŸ’¬ Straight facts. Every fact shows where it came from. Some links earn us a reward: those sites are tagged šŸ¤ Partner and shown first. Their facts are checked exactly like everyone else’s. Details

⚔ Short answer

Both run on a site currency you can’t turn back into cash, and both document provably-fair draws. Packs.com is simpler: 1 Coin is $1, shipping is a flat $7.43 for up to 50 cards, and US orders arrive in 2 to 4 weeks. Boxed.gg adds battles, vending machines and a KYC-gated ETH withdrawal, takes 4 to 8 weeks to deliver, and isn’t available in Michigan, Washington, Louisiana or South Carolina.
