I’d give this app a 1 star but I know people will ignore 1 stars and chalk it up to bad luck. I had to delete a page of stuff because I’m not allowed to talk bad but please read recent 1-3 star reviews as I can attest to them being true. It’s a hassle to get the money back from the cards, you need to pay $17-$18 after paying premium for the cards already w/limit of 3 per shipment, and you always either break even opening, make -50%, or even -70%. The only winners you see are the 1% that get lucky or streamers/advertisements. Besides that use my referral if you decide to ignore the warnings👍.

I wanted to share my experience with Stadium Vault for anyone considering trying their online Pokémon/card pack ripping service.Stadium Vault advertises a first-rip guarantee where, if your first pulled card is worth less than the price of the pack, they will offer to buy the card back for at least what you paid for the pack (up to a $100 pack).I purchased a $100 pack specifically because of that guarantee.My first pull was valued at approximately $53, meaning it was well below the $100 I paid. However, I did not receive the $100 guaranteed buyback that I was expecting based on their advertised first-rip guarantee.That was extremely disappointing because the guarantee was a major reason I felt comfortable spending $100 in the first place.I’m posting this as a warning to other collectors: document everything before purchasing. Screenshot the promotion, the pack price, your pull, the stated market value, and the buyback offer you actually receive.Based on my experience, the advertised guarantee did not work the way I expected it to.I’ve contacted/will be contacting Stadium Vault to give them an opportunity to correct the issue, and I’ll update this post if they resolve it.Buyer beware, especially if the “risk-free” first pack guarantee is the reason you’re considering spending the money.Has anyone else had this happen with Stadium Vault?

hell yeah it is, you may not get 10 cards per pack but your chances of making money back or equivalent is what makes it amusing! Not having to drive to the store for a $5 to get nothing, when I can get a GRADED card for $5 if luck comes around! All around the app is amazing, could potentially add special events or promo packs only available for a certain time that aim for buyers to get certain cards from certain era/sets. (Mainly speaking for pokemon, but idea can be taken for all)

The whole app is designed to keep you depositing more money and chasing a decent pull, but the value just isn’t there. Obviously I understand that nothing is guaranteed and opening packs always involves luck, but when the overwhelming majority of what you get feels like garbage compared to what you’re spending, it stops being fun very quickly. If you’re thinking about depositing money because you’ve seen people posting huge pulls, understand that those wins are not necessarily representative of what you’ll actually experience. Don’t get sucked into chasing the nextopening thinking you’ll eventually hit something big. Save your money. If you actually want pokemon cards or collectibles, I’d rather take the money I would’ve deposited here and just buy the cards I want outright.
