PrizePicks launched its own digital instant repack product on Oct. 21, with packs of basketball, football and Pokémon cards. The daily fantasy company sells nine pack tiers, from a $1 Basic pack to a $2,500 Diamond pack. PrizePicks says every pack, at every price, has a shot at a grail.

Each tier shows its odds and its range of card values before you buy. A $1 pack usually lands a card worth 30 cents to $20, though pricier packs carry better grail odds. PrizePicks counts any card worth $50,000 or more as a grail.

PrizePicks lists four grails in the product, with these values:

  • Cooper Flagg 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update NBA Debut Patch Auto 1/1 (PSA 10): $8,040,000
  • Dylan Harper 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update NBA Debut Patch Auto 1/1 (PSA 9): $2,880,000
  • Kon Knueppel 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update NBA Debut Patch Auto 1/1 (PSA 10): $2,340,000
  • 1998 Pokémon Illustrator Pikachu (CGC 9): estimated at $2,806,271

RhodyBreakers pulled the Flagg on a livestream break in August, from a team spot a collector bought for $515. Fanatics Collect didn't name the buyer when the Flagg sold in its September Premier Auction. PrizePicks told The Short Print it bought the card from a third party after the auction. Darren Rovell reported that PrizePicks now owns all three Debut Patches from that auction. Now the card can come out of a $1 pack.

If you'd rather own a Flagg than chase one at extremely low odds, his base 2025-26 Topps Chrome rookie in a PSA 10 sold for $270 to $320 on eBay from Oct. 19 to 21. It's No. 4 on our list of the best basketball cards to buy right now.

PrizePicks is now vying for its spot in the highly competitive repack game that includes Derek Jeter's Arena Club. Underdog, another fantasy app, sells its own digital packs called Rips in five tiers from $5 to $2,500. PrizePicks is a card marketplace too, where you can buy repacks at different price points and sell the card back to PrizePicks for its full market value.

You can have the physical card mailed to you for a shipping fee, with one important catch. You only have three days from the moment you open the pack to request it by mail. If you don't, the card is sold back to PrizePicks automatically at the market value locked in when you pulled it.
