The opening
Yours the second you pay.
No drop to wait for, no stream to catch. The pack was opened on camera the day it arrived, and unlocks the instant you buy. Watch it anywhere, any hour.
About
Open a pack now.
The cards can wait.
The hobby moved online years ago. The opening didn't. It still meant catching the shop before it closed, waiting days on the post, or sitting through someone's live break. So we fixed it.
Why we built it
We wanted it for ourselves.
The urge to rip a pack never checks the clock. It hits at midnight, on the train, the night a new set drops. And there's nowhere to act on it.
The answer was almost too simple: open the packs first, on camera, so you can claim one the second the urge hits. The cards stay safe until you want them in hand.
What you get, and when
Three steps, start to finish.
The cards
Real, and in no rush.
The exact cards from that video sit in a vault under your name. They don't fade, shuffle, or turn into "something of similar value". The thrill already happened. The cardboard waits, untouched, until you want it.
The handover
Out only when you say.
Ship them home. Bundle a dozen orders into one parcel. Or trade them straight in for credit and skip the mailer altogether.
Straight from the box
What's sealed is what ships.
- 1
Real boxes.
We buy whole sealed boxes from authorised distributors and open every pack inside. What's in your pack is exactly what the maker put there, factory sealed and untouched.
- 2
Real opening.
Every opening is one continuous take, from sealed wrapper to cards on the table. No cuts, no retakes.
- 3
Real cards.
One code ties each pack to its own video, from the camera to your mailer. The cards that ship are the cards on screen, card for card.
