How rip sites work

Russ Whitlock

Russ covers how online rip sites work behind the screen: where the cards sit, how buybacks are priced, what shipping involves and how to check a site before you deposit. Russ has helped launch pack opening sites, so he writes from the operator's side of the counter. He collects coins and vintage memorabilia.

Covers: what happens after the reveal, checking a site before you deposit, graded packs from the inside. Our writers are members of the Pullfox team and write under pen names. How we write our guides.
