Stadium Vault

What Stadium Vault is

Stadium Vault is a card-rip app for Pokémon and sports cards: you buy a pack from $1 to $250, and it holds one real card — graded or raw — which you can ship, keep vaulted, or sell back at 90% of fair market value, paid in wallet credit rather than cash.

Stadium Vault sells $1 to $250 packs with a 90% buy-back. Yet 0 of 7 pack pages we captured showed odds.

Does Stadium Vault pay what the card is worth?

Stadium Vault writes its buy-back into Section 2(d) of its Terms of Service. The offer is 100% of the app’s estimated value, less a 10% fee. That nets 90% of fair market value (FMV), the price Stadium Vault assigns each card.

The headline tells you the fee. The headline cannot tell you whether Stadium Vault’s FMV matches what the card sells for elsewhere. We have not measured that yet: no matched sold comps were captured for this refresh.

At a 90% buy-back, a card needs an FMV of 111.1% of the pack price to return the price. MyCardRips derived that line from the Terms rate, read October 28, 2026.

On October 8, 2026, the Gold pack’s Recent Wins strip showed pulls valued from $112 to $135. At 90%, those cards returned $100.80 to $121.50 in wallet credit. Every one cleared the $111.12 line, by $0.88 to $23.88.

Treat that strip as a shop window, not a sample. Stadium Vault chooses which wins to display, so the strip says nothing about the pulls it leaves out.

The First Rip Guarantee. Stadium Vault’s FAQ describes a single lift on your first eligible paid rip. If that card’s sellback offer sits below the pack price, Stadium Vault raises the offer to at least the price. The FAQ example is a $25 pack with an $18 offer, raised to $25. Eligible packs show the guarantee before checkout, and the money lands as wallet credit.

Corrections. Our October 8 version said the First Rip Guarantee appeared nowhere in Stadium Vault’s current terms. That claim is withdrawn: the guarantee sits in the FAQ, not the Terms of Service. The earlier version also cited Section 6 for the odds and valuation clauses. Both clauses sit in Section 2, at 2(c) and 2(d).

What Stadium Vault covers

The App Store listing names Pokémon, basketball, baseball, soccer, and One Piece. Our October 8 capture did not split the 7 packs by category. Every pack holds one physical card, either a graded slab or a raw card, per the Stadium Vault FAQ.

Compare every Stadium Vault pack

Odds are the app’s own stated figures at capture time. None of the 7 pack pages showed a probability on October 8, 2026. Every break-even cell is therefore a dash. Our odds guide explains what a value band would give you here.

Our verdict on Stadium Vault

Stadium Vault suits a collector who wants a $1 entry and a fixed 90% exit. Stadium Vault is the wrong pick if you want to price a pack before you buy. The 7.0 score predates this refresh, and we have left the score alone.

How ripping works on Stadium Vault

You fund a Stadium Vault wallet by card or ACH, per Terms Section 2(b). You buy a pack, and the reveal shows one physical card. After the reveal you sell the card back, request shipping, or keep it for up to 3 days. A card you leave alone sells back automatically at 90% of FMV.

Pack tiers, odds, and value

Stadium Vault listed 7 tiers on October 8, 2026, from the $1 Dollar pack to the $250 Platinum pack. The Dollar pack is wallet only, so you need a balance first. The $1,925 Max Hit on the Gold pack is the app’s stated ceiling, 19.3 times the pack price. A ceiling is the best card in the pack, not a likely result.

Payments, buy-back, and withdrawals

The Instant Offer stands for 24 hours after your reveal, per Terms Section 2(d). The automatic sellback runs after 3 days. Both routes are final, and the Terms rule out reversal for any reason. Proceeds land as wallet credit, and withdrawing is a separate step.

Withdrawals start under Settings, then Withdraw funds. The FAQ quotes arrival from under 1 hour to 3 business days. The review screen shows the fee and net amount before you confirm. Withdrawals serve US and Canadian users only.

Is Stadium Vault legit?

Yes. Stadium Vault is run by Stadium Live Studios Inc., a Toronto company with its vault in Oregon, and the 90% buy-back is written into Terms Section 2(d) rather than merely advertised.

Stadium Vault requires you to be 18 or older, per its FAQ and App Store listing. Terms Section 3(a) sets the bar at the age of majority in your state or province. That age limit is an eligibility rule set by the app, not a legal ruling.

Identity checks run in Coinflow’s hosted flow before your first withdrawal, per the FAQ. Terms Section 7 names Stripe Connect for payouts instead, so we label the processor a conflict. California law governs the Terms, and disputes go to JAMS arbitration unless you opt out within 30 days.

The weak point is disclosure, not legitimacy — set out in full in the section below.

Who Stadium Vault is for

• Collectors who want a $1 first rip. Among the 7 rated apps, only Triumph matches that entry price.
• Buyers who want a fixed 90% exit written into the Terms.
• Collectors who will decide within 3 days, before the automatic sellback runs.
• Not for collectors who want odds before they buy. Triumph publishes value bands, and Packz publishes odds per tier.

Stadium Vault’s odds claim against our capture

Stadium Vault states its odds are published in three places, and our capture found none. The table sets each source beside its date.

Two caveats we would rather state than bury. We have not re-captured the pack pages since October 8, 2026. Stadium Vault released app version 1.7.5 on October 23, 2026, after our capture.

If odds now appear before purchase, we will transcribe every pack and compute the chance of breaking even. Until then, you cannot price a Stadium Vault pack against Triumph or Packz.

What the $100 Gold pack showed on October 8

The Gold pack page listed chase cards as graded slabs with set, year, grade, and a PSA certificate number. Their stated values ran from $1,850 down to $1,250. A certificate number lets you check each slab against PSA’s records.

The same screen’s Recent Wins strip showed pulls of $112, $115, $119, $123, and $135. Those wins sit at 1.12x to 1.35x the pack price. The stated ceiling sits at 19.3x. Only a published probability connects those two rows.

You buy the pack experience, not a card

Under Terms Section 2(c), a pack purchase buys “the Stadium Vault Pack experience”. You hold no right to a specific card until the card is in your possession. Stadium Vault can also end a pack before its top cards are distributed.

Vaulted cards are tracked as DPOCs, blockchain tokens that represent an ownership claim on the physical card. Terms Section 13 says Stadium Vault holds custody of the wallets those tokens sit in. Terms Section 6 gives no warranty on the authenticity of any card. Pack purchases are final and not refundable, per Section 2(c) and the FAQ.

Fees, shipping, and tax

Stadium Vault charges fees for vaulting, card withdrawals, trading, buying, selling, and shipping, per Terms Section 3(f). The fees appear at checkout and can change without notice. Stadium Vault publishes no fee schedule outside the app.

Shipping bundles up to 3 cards per request. Orders dispatch in 1 to 2 business days and arrive in 3 to 8 business days, per the FAQ. Stadium Vault ships only to US and Canadian addresses, per Terms Section 5. Shipping insurance is optional, and declining it leaves the package without full coverage.

The vault sits in Oregon, per Terms Section 13(a). Cards left in the vault carry no sales tax at purchase. Cards shipped immediately carry sales tax based on your billing address. Income tax on sold cards is covered in our card rips taxes guide.

Stadium Vault referral and promo codes

Stadium Vault takes referral and promo codes in the iOS app only, under Settings, then Rewards & Promo Codes. Enter a referral code before, or within 24 hours of, your first pack purchase. Each account takes one referral code, and each user can refer up to 10 people. Both users receive a free pack after the qualifying purchase.

MyCardRips does not publish a Stadium Vault code. Stadium Vault pays creators cash on every purchase their viewers make, per its affiliates page. Treat a code in a rip video as a paid referral.

Data confidence

Data confidence: Medium overall. Flags:

• Odds: CONFLICT between the app’s published claims and 0 of 7 pack pages on October 8, 2026.
• Payout processor: CONFLICT between Coinflow in the FAQ and Stripe Connect in the Terms.
• Withdraw min: dash, because the minimum appears only inside the app.
• Pays vs market and fairness: dash, because no buy-back comps were captured.
• Break even and value floor: dash on all 7 packs, because no odds were captured.
• Max pull: dash on 5 of 7 packs, because only 2 app-stated Max Hit ceilings were recorded.
• Cards catalogued: dash, because the capture did not count cards per pack.

Values are researched from official sources first. Anything we could not confirm is shown as a dash rather than guessed. Figures we found in conflict are labeled rather than picked. Every score follows how we rate.
