The instant buyback is a sell-back option attached to every pull. It sets a floor on the value of every card you open: you can sell a pull back for USDC at the percentage displayed on the pack, within the pack’s buyback window. The window and the way the amount is quoted depend on the pack’s provider: 3 days on Collector Crypt packs, 7 days on Phygitals packs.

​
How the buyback works

1

Pull a card

The moment a card is revealed, its buyback window starts. The buyback percentage and the resulting USDC amount are shown on the card.
2

Sell it back

From the reveal, the card page, or your Collection, choose the sell action and confirm. You can filter your Collection with “Buyback only” to see which cards still carry a live offer.
3

Receive USDC

The buyback amount is paid to your wallet in USDC. The card leaves your Collection and returns to the provider it came from.

​
Window and rate by provider

The rate of each pack is displayed on its page in the Instant buyback panel, together with the window. Rates may be adjusted over time. Worked example. You open a $50 Collector Crypt pack whose buyback rate is 85% and pull a card with an insured value of $80. The instant buyback pays 68 USDC (85% of 80) at any time during the 3 days following the pull.

​
The buyback window

The buyback is available from the moment of the pull until the window closes. After that, the buyback for that card expires. The card remains yours: it stays vaulted in your Collection. A Collector Crypt card can still be shipped home or listed on the marketplace at a price you set; a Phygitals card can be redeemed or resold through Phygitals and external marketplaces, outside Jupiter Gacha. See Providers.
The buyback window cannot be extended or reopened. If you intend to use the buyback, do it within the window: 3 days on a Collector Crypt pack, 7 days on a Phygitals pack.
The buyback belongs to the wallet that pulled the card. If you send a card to another wallet, use the buyback first: see Sending a card to another wallet.

Collector Crypt cards: buyback and insured value

On a Collector Crypt card, the buyback percentage applies to the card’s insured value at the time of the pull, a reference value assigned by Collector Crypt. The insured value is the basis for buyback calculations. It is not an insurance policy, and it can differ from what the card would fetch on the open market. See Collection for the full explanation of insured value. Two consequences follow from this:
  • Insured values can change after the pull. Collector Crypt updates insured values over time, and the value displayed can occasionally be out of sync. The buyback amount is set against the insured value when the card was pulled, so it can later represent more or less than the stated percentage of the insured value currently displayed.
  • Discrepancies are handled by Collector Crypt. Jupiter does not adjust buyback amounts when an insured value changes. If a buyback amount looks inconsistent with the card’s insured value at pull time, contact Collector Crypt support via the chat widget at collectorcrypt.com.

​
Phygitals cards: the quoted offer

On a Phygitals card, the buyback is a standing offer that Phygitals quotes for the card and for the wallet holding it. The offer is displayed on the card as a Buyback offer, in USDC, and is the pack’s percentage of Phygitals’ fair market value for the card. A quote can carry an expiry: when it lapses, the app hides it until Phygitals issues a new one, so if you see no offer on a card still within its 7 days, refresh the page. Selling submits the sale to Phygitals, which settles it on its side. The confirmation can take a moment: if the app reports the sale as still settling, check your Collection before selling again rather than repeating the sale. A sale that Phygitals rejects leaves the card in your Collection.

​
What happens to bought-back cards

Cards sold through the buyback return to the provider. Collector Crypt cards go back to the machine pool of the pack they came from, where they can be pulled again by other users. This is how machine pools stay stocked over time.

​
Buyback in Turbo mode

When Turbo mode is active on a Collector Crypt pack, Common pulls are sold automatically at the machine’s buyback rate the moment they are revealed. The mechanism and the rate are the same as a manual buyback; only the timing is automatic. Phygitals packs have no Turbo mode.
