Our Experience — We Tested This

Over the past month our team ripped more than 40 packs on Courtyard.io, ranging from the cheapest tier to mid-tier chase packs. The reveal flow felt snappy and reliable, and buyback payouts cleared within the timeframe the platform advertises. We can confirm the Market-based buyback rate matched what we received in practice on every sellback.
