This is the published handling or retrieval window, followed by carrier transit. It is not a guaranteed arrival date. Destination, customs and payment clearance may add time.

What packs does Courtyard offer?
The homepage highlights Sports Cosmic, Football PSA10, Pokémon Ultra Spicy and Pokémon Legend Spicy packs, plus an Ancient Coin pack. A sneaker-pack pre-registration link shows expansion beyond cards; pre-registration is not proof a pack is available to open.
What is the most expensive card you can pull?
The most expensive card depends on the selected vending-machine pool. We have not verified an absolute platform-wide maximum. Check the current pool and exact grade; a marketplace listing or recent pull does not establish what remains available.

Packs versus a known card
Courtyard presents digital packs and a marketplace across sports and trading-card categories. Our editorial reason to shortlist it is the opportunity to compare the unknown contents of a pack with the cost of a known collectible.
Before choosing the pack, identify one or two cards you would actually want to keep. Compare their direct-purchase prices with the pack cost. That simple exercise separates the enjoyment of a reveal from the cost of building a particular collection.
How Courtyard buyback offers work
Courtyard bases its optional Vending Machine buyback on the revealed card’s current fair market value, rather than what you paid for the pack. Its published guide gives you seven days to accept. You can instead retain the card, request delivery or list it on the marketplace.
Compare the actual offer with your purchase price and any withdrawal charges. A fixed buyback percentage across every product is not established by the guide.
Withdrawing your Courtyard balance
First withdrawals require identity verification, and payment partners can require their own checks. Courtyard only displays methods available to your account and country. Its guide covers bank transfers, eligible debit cards and PayPal, with Venmo for US users and Interac for Canadian residents. It also describes transfers to a linked external wallet supporting USDC on Polygon.
For US ACH, Courtyard describes same-day processing within 24 business hours or a standard two-to-three-business-day route. Treat these as published estimates; check the method, fee and delivery expectation shown before confirming.
Marketplace fees and choosing your selling price
Courtyard states that peer-to-peer marketplace transactions carry a 0% marketplace fee. This applies to that sale route: it is not a promise that shipping, currency conversion or every payment action is free.
Listing a collectible lets you choose an asking price, but a listing is not a completed sale. Check the amount carefully before listing or accepting a bid. Courtyard’s guide says completed marketplace transactions cannot be reversed if you mistakenly enter a low price or accept an unwanted offer.
How long does Courtyard shipping take?
The shipping guide allows up to ten business days to process a request before carrier transit. The total delivery time therefore depends on both vault handling and your destination. Courtyard says it charges at-cost FedEx pricing, with the checkout quote reflecting destination, weight and carrier.
Confirm the address before submitting: shipment requests cannot be edited afterwards. The tracker shows progress and, once available, the carrier tracking details.
Courtyard apps and collecting on your phone
Courtyard has official iPhone and Android apps. The developer’s store descriptions cover pack reveals, a marketplace and collection management, including options to keep, sell or request physical delivery. Use the official listings linked below to check your device requirements.
An app appearing in your store does not establish that every purchase, payout or shipping method is available in your country. Compare the account requirements separately from installation.
Who is Courtyard a good fit for?
The strongest fit is a collector who wants to compare a mystery reveal with the price of a known item, then decide whether to keep, list or ship it. The marketplace adds flexibility, although a seller’s asking price is not the same as a completed sale.
If your priority is a particular Pokémon or sports card, compare its direct price first. For packs, inspect the complete pool and probability bands rather than only the headline chase. Our assessment covers documented features and terms; the score breakdown explains the criteria.
Frequently asked questions
Is Courtyard legit?
Courtyard.io has official iOS and Android apps, a collectible marketplace and published documentation for vaulted cards, buyback, withdrawals and shipping. These are identifiable product and support channels. They do not guarantee profitable pulls or resolve every customer experience; check the exact pool, offer and costs.
How long does Courtyard delivery take?
Up to 10 business days processing + transit. Confirm the final destination estimate and distinguish handling from carrier transit.
Does Courtyard buy back every card at a fixed percentage?
The reviewed guide describes offers based on each card’s current fair market value. It does not establish one percentage for all products. Check the executable offer.
How long can I accept a Courtyard buyback offer?
The published Vending Machine guide gives a seven-day acceptance window. Check the deadline attached to your own offer.
Can I withdraw Courtyard money without a crypto wallet?
Yes, its guide lists several non-crypto methods, including bank and supported debit-card payouts and PayPal. Which options appear depends on your country and account.
Does Courtyard charge marketplace fees?
The published marketplace guide states 0% fees for peer-to-peer transactions. Other parts of your collecting journey can have separate costs.
Can I ship Courtyard cards to Europe?
Courtyard advertises worldwide shipping with a destination-based quote. Confirm your address, account eligibility and full delivered cost; shipping coverage alone does not establish purchase eligibility.
What is the most expensive Courtyard card I can pull?
That depends on the current pack and remaining pool. Check the exact card, grade and live availability. A historical high-value pull is not proof that the same card is available now.
