OG.com has added a pack-opening feature called OG.com Rips to its website and mobile app. A user buys a digital pack, watches an animated rip, and the card that comes out is an actual physical trading card. From there they choose between a cash buyback and having the card shipped. The feature is available now in the United States, on the web and in the OG.com app for iOS and Android, for users aged 18 and over.
There are four pack categories: NFL, NBA, MLB and Pokémon. Every category comes in six tiers, named Rookie, Emerald, Ruby, Titan, Legend and OG Eternal. According to OG.com, each tier displays the odds for every card and names the headline “grails” in its pool, which run from rookie QB patch autos and signed NBA Prizm cards to vintage 1st Edition Pokémon holos.
How a rip works
Payment goes through Apple Pay, Google Pay or a credit or debit card, so nobody has to load a wallet first. Once the purchase clears, the app runs an animated ripping sequence. One tap records it and shares it to X, Instagram or TikTok.
Pulled cards land in an in-app Vault tied to the user. There, each card gets a rarity grade and a buyback offer, and the Vault keeps track of the user’s portfolio. OG.com says a certified third-party vault custody network holds the physical card in parallel.
Users get seven days to settle what happens to each card:
- Cash buyback: take the offer whenever you like during the window. Funds hit the account balance immediately, with no selling fees and no back-and-forth with a buyer.
- Physical redemption: one tap requests tracked, insured shipping to your address.
Anyone who hasn’t chosen by the end of the seven days is treated as having accepted the buyback. OG.com frames this as a safeguard against forgotten cards or falling market prices. In practice, a pull can’t stay parked in the Vault: it either gets shipped or sold back.
Why OG.com is doing this
OG.com is targeting people who watch live unboxings and pack breaks on social media. The company’s case is that getting hold of a card normally drags through marketplace listings and secondary transaction fees, and Rips puts discovery, purchase and opening under one roof.
“OG.com was built around letting fans and consumers act on what they know across sports and culture, and OG.com Rips is a natural extension of that ethos,” said Kris Marszalek, Founder and CEO of OG.com. “Pack ripping is an immediate, physical parallel to the experience OG.com is known for. Bringing the adrenaline of the live pack rip into an app purpose built for a community that lives for sports and culture, OG.com Rips is a natural next step for us with much more to come.”
The fine print
OG.com Rips is offered by OGMUS and runs under its own terms and conditions. OG.com states that Rips is not regulated by the CFTC and offers no CFTC-regulated products. That separates it from OG.com Markets, the company’s CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse for prediction market contracts on sports, financials, economics and culture, which also offers crypto perpetual futures. The owners of the NFL, NBA, MLB and Pokémon brands are not parties to the card sales.
