Basics

What is Lucky Rips?

Lucky Rips is a service from Lucky Day TCG LLC where you buy digital packs. Each pack is a purchase of one real trading card, either ungraded (“raw”) or PSA-graded, from that pack’s card pool. You’ll see which card you got when you open it.

How old do I need to be?

You need to be 18 or older, or the legal age of adulthood where you live if it's higher. We may ask you to verify your age, identity, location, or payment method.

Does Lucky Rips sell sealed products?

No. We don’t sell sealed boxes or packs. Each pack is a digital pack you open, and it reveals a real card: either an ungraded card or a PSA-graded card.

Can I know which card I will receive?

No. You won’t know which card you’ll get until it’s revealed. Each pack’s listing shows what’s in the card pool and any published odds or values.

Does every card in a pack have the same chance?

Not necessarily. Odds can change between purchases as inventory changes, and cards in the same value or rarity range may not be equally likely. The odds that apply to your purchase are the ones shown when you confirm it.

Can I make money buying Lucky Rips?

Profit is never guaranteed. A card can be worth less than what you paid, and market values change. Rip for fun, with money you’ve set aside for entertainment, not as a way to make income.

Cards and values

What does “raw” or “ungraded” mean?

A raw or ungraded card hasn’t been authenticated or graded by PSA. Ungraded cards come as-is and may have normal wear or small factory imperfections. We can’t promise an ungraded card will get any particular grade if you send it to PSA.

What is a PSA-graded card?

It’s a card that Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) has authenticated, graded, and sealed in a PSA case. You’ll find the grade printed right on the case’s label.

How does Lucky Rips determine FMV?

We set a fair market value (FMV) for every card you reveal. Our values are based on recent completed sales of the same card, meaning the same printing, language, grader, and grade, from reliable sources like marketplace sold listings. We never use asking prices. Values aren’t appraisals or guaranteed sale prices, and they may differ from what you see on other marketplaces.

What happens after my card is revealed?

The card is reserved for you, and you have three options. Sell it to us for 100% of the fair market value (FMV) shown when it was revealed. Ship it to yourself, and you’ll see the shipping cost, any required insurance, and any sales tax before you confirm. Or put it in the Vault for up to 72 hours while you decide. If you leave the reveal screen without choosing, the card goes to your Vault automatically.

How does the 72-hour Vault work?

When a card goes to your Vault, you have 72 hours to decide whether to ship it or sell it. The time remaining is shown in the app. If you haven’t made a choice by then, we’ll automatically buy the card at 100% of the FMV shown when it was revealed, even if its value has changed since.

Will Lucky Rips remind me before the Vault period ends?

Yes. If you have push notifications turned on, we’ll send you a reminder before your Vault deadline. You can also check the deadline anytime in the app. If you haven’t shipped or sold the card by then, it will be sold automatically.

What value applies when I sell my card?

You get 100% of the FMV shown when the card was revealed. That price stays the same for the card’s entire 72-hour Vault period, even if its value changes.

Shipping and refunds

How do I ship my cards?

Use the ship option in your Vault. Before you confirm, you can enter your address and see the shipping cost and any tax. We may need to verify your identity first.

When will my order ship?

We do our best to ship cards the next business day, but timing can vary.

Are completed rips refundable?

Generally, no. Once a pack is opened and cards are revealed, the purchase is final. If you need assistance, please reach out to our support team.

What if my shipment is missing, damaged, or incorrect?

Contact our support team with your order number and photos of the item and packaging. If your shipment hasn’t arrived, reach out between 5 business days and 30 days after it ships. If a card arrives damaged or isn’t the right card, reach out within 7 days of delivery. We handle all claims with the carrier, so please don’t contact the carrier yourself. Keep the packaging until it’s sorted out.

Can I cancel a rip?

No. If you need assistance, please reach out to our support team.

Payments and taxes

Will I be charged sales tax?

Where required, we’ll calculate and collect sales or use tax based on your purchase and where it’s shipped. You’ll see the final tax before you confirm.

Are proceeds from selling a card to Lucky Rips taxable?

They can be. Under U.S. federal tax rules, if you sell a personal item for more than you paid, the gain is generally taxable. If you sell it for less, you generally can’t deduct the loss. Things may be different if you run a business, treat cards as investments, or sell often. Keep records of what you buy and sell, and talk to a tax professional. See the IRS guidance on personal-item sales.

Will I receive a Form 1099-K or another tax form?

You might. We issue tax forms, such as a Form 1099, where required by law, and our payment provider may send one too. Payment platforms generally must issue a Form 1099-K when your payments exceed $20,000 and 200 transactions, and you may get a form even below that. State rules may differ. See the current IRS Form 1099-K FAQs.

If I do not receive a tax form, do I still need to report income?

Possibly. The IRS says you must report taxable income even if you don’t get a Form 1099-K. Whether a sale counts as taxable income depends on your situation, what you originally paid, and the law.

What records should I keep?

Keep your order confirmations, what you paid (including taxes and fees), shipping records, money from cards you sold, payment statements, and anything showing what each card cost you. Save any tax forms you receive. We can’t give you personal tax advice.

Why might Lucky Rips ask for a Form W-9?

We may ask for a Form W-9 before processing a withdrawal so we can handle required tax reporting. Once your withdrawals exceed $2,500 in a calendar year, a completed W-9 is required.

Can I withdraw money I deposited?

Yes, you can withdraw your funds at any time as long as you meet the minimum withdrawal amount of $5. However, deposited funds must be played through before they can be withdrawn.

How long do withdrawals take?

We process withdrawals as fast as possible, and you’ll get email updates as your withdrawal moves along. Your first withdrawal may take a little longer while we verify your account.

Accounts and support

Why might Lucky Rips verify my identity?

We may need to confirm your age, location, payment method, or eligibility, make sure shipments go to the right person, prevent fraud, or collect tax information.

Can I set a spending limit or take a break?

Yes. Contact support to set a spending limit, take a cooling-off break, stop promotional messages, or self-exclude. The Responsible Purchasing Policy explains how each one works.

What happens to my cards if my account is closed?

Closing your account doesn’t take away the cards reserved for you or money you’re owed. After any needed checks, we’ll pay out what we owe you and help you sell or ship your cards. This doesn’t apply to accounts closed for creating or using more than one account, as described in our Terms of Use. Unclaimed property is handled as the law requires.
