Courtyard - Trading Cards for iPhone

Quick summary

Courtyard’s iPhone app blends digital pack openings with real-world collectibles. Fans of Pokémon, sports cards, and comic cards can buy virtual packs and receive an actual graded card as the outcome of each opening.

What happens when you open a pack

• You buy a digital pack and "open" it inside the app; the result is a physical, graded card tied to that pull.
• Packs are offered at a wide range of price points (typically from about $25 up to $2,500).
• If the card you receive isn’t what you hoped for, you can immediately sell it back to the platform for 90% of its fair market value.

Transparency and odds

Courtyard displays live pull probabilities so collectors can see their chances of landing high-value cards before purchasing. This makes the process more transparent and helps users make informed decisions.

Managing your collection and security

• Cards you acquire can be kept in a secure, insured vault at no additional charge.
• The app includes tools to organize your collection, view transaction history, and personalize your profile.
• Activity tracking and search features make it easier to find specific cards and monitor collecting progress.

Marketplace and costs

• The in-app marketplace charges no seller fees, which reduces trading costs for users.
• Combined with insured storage and instant sell-back, the platform aims to be cost-effective and low-friction for buyers and sellers alike.

Extra tools and a suggested alternative

• Built-in features: real-time odds, instant sell-back, profile customization, and activity logs.
• Suggested alternative to explore: “Package Order Tracker” (free), which some users find useful for monitoring shipments and inventory outside the Courtyard ecosystem.
