The instant buyback is a guaranteed sell-back option attached to every pull. It sets a floor on the value of every card you open: you can always sell a pull back for USDC at a known percentage of its insured value at the time of the pull, within 3 days of pulling it.

​
How the buyback works

1

Pull a card

The moment a card is revealed, its 3-day buyback window starts. The buyback percentage and the resulting USDC amount are shown on the card.
2

Sell it back

From the card page or your Collection, choose the buyback option and confirm. You can filter your Collection with “Buyback only” to see which cards are still within their window.
3

Receive USDC

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

​
How the buyback percentage is calculated

The buyback pays a percentage of the card’s insured value. The percentage is set per machine: each pack has its own buyback rate, displayed on that pack’s page in the Instant buyback panel. At launch, rates range from 85% to 93%, and higher priced packs generally carry higher rates. These rates may be adjusted over time. Worked example. You open a $50 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 3-day window

The buyback is available for 3 days from the moment of the pull. After the window closes, the guaranteed buyback for that card expires. The card remains yours: it stays vaulted in your Collection, and you can still list it on the marketplace at a price you set, or ship it home.
The buyback window cannot be extended or reopened. If you intend to use the buyback, do it within 3 days of the pull.

​
Buyback and insured value

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.

​
What happens to bought-back cards

Cards sold through the buyback return 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, 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.
