Frequently asked questions

When do pre-sell orders ship?

Pre-sell boxes and cases ship on or shortly after the manufacturer release date. If a manufacturer moves a release, the ship date moves with it, and the date shown on the product page is the one to go by.

What is the difference between Ships Sealed and Ripped Live?

Ships Sealed listings are mailed to you unopened, in factory wrap. Ripped Live and LV listings are opened for you on our TikTok Live stream and the cards are shipped to you. Each listing is labeled so you know which one you are buying.

Why are release dates changing?

Topps, Panini, Upper Deck and other manufacturers often shift dates by a week or more because of production and shipping. We update this calendar when dates change, so bookmark it.

How do I get notified when a new pre-sell goes live?

Join the Ballers Club. Members get 24-hour early access to new pre-sells and restock alerts on the boxes they collect.
