Overview
Packz runs a digital repack platform for trading cards (sports and Pokémon) based in New York. It sells themed digital mystery packs at fixed prices, and each pack guarantees one physically graded card authenticated by PSA, BGS, or SGC. After opening, users can have the card shipped or sell it back to Packz for 90% of market value in exchange for in-store credit to buy more packs; kept cards are stored in a climate-controlled vault until shipment. The service combines e-commerce, a collectibles marketplace, and gamified purchasing, differentiating itself with guaranteed graded assets and vault storage supported by major grader partnerships.
