Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pack Subscription Simulator?▾
The Pack Subscription Simulator lets you experience what a monthly sports card subscription box would be like. Choose from 4 tiers ($25, $50, $100, or $200 per month), open monthly packs of real cards from our 7,000+ card database, and track your cumulative ROI over time. It helps you decide if subscription boxes are worth the investment before committing real money.
How are cards selected for each monthly pack?▾
Cards are selected using a seeded random algorithm based on the month, year, and your subscription tier. Higher tiers get more cards per month, higher rookie card rates, and guaranteed hits (cards worth $20+). The Starter tier gives 5 cards/month with a 20% rookie rate. The Elite tier gives 12 cards/month with a 50% rookie rate and guaranteed premium hits.
What makes each tier different?▾
Starter ($25/mo): 5 cards, 20% rookie rate, no guaranteed hits — good for casual collecting. Collector ($50/mo): 8 cards, 35% rookie rate — best value for most collectors. Premium ($100/mo): 10 cards, 40% rookie rate, guaranteed $20+ hit — for serious builders. Elite ($200/mo): 12 cards, 50% rookie rate, guaranteed premium hits — maximum value potential.
Is the ROI tracking accurate?▾
The ROI is calculated using estimated raw card values from our database. A positive ROI means the estimated value of your pulled cards exceeds your subscription cost. In real subscription boxes, ROI varies widely — some months you hit big, others you barely break even. This simulator gives you a realistic sense of the variance over time.
Can I filter by sport?▾
Yes! You can filter your subscription to only include cards from a specific sport — Baseball, Basketball, Football, or Hockey. This mirrors real subscription services that offer sport-specific boxes. Use "All Sports" for maximum variety.
