How popular is Courtyard?

Courtyard is too small or too new for public traffic estimates yet.

Courtyard in 2026

Courtyard sells digital packs backed by real graded cards: Pokémon, sports, and now sneakers and watches too. Every card you pull exists as a slab in a Brink's vault, as a token on Polygon. You can keep it there, trade it on the marketplace, have it shipped or sell it back.

The bonus

No Betrefs code. Instant buyback at 90% of market value, sometimes boosted (the 'Ghost' pack runs at +5% buyback).

Games

Pokémon packs, sports packs, a marketplace and leaderboards, plus events like Pokémon Vintage.

Payments and cashing out

Pay with card or crypto. Sell back at 90% or ship the card. You don't need to understand crypto to use it, but it's on-chain underneath.

Design and UX: 7.5/10

A dark app-style layout with a sidebar, a fiery hero for the current pack and a "Just Pulled" row of real slabs. Polished, like a proper trading card app.

Trust

A real company with real cards in a real vault. The complaints are about marketplace fees and bots sniping listings. The 90% buyback caps your downside, but packs still lose money on average.

Verdict

The most trustworthy way to rip graded Pokémon cards online. Treat it as entertainment.
