What can collectors expect with every purchase of a Lucky Box mystery box? Each eco-friendly mystery box contains one CGC-certified sports card or Pokémon card, and you can select your preferred type of collectible during the checkout process. Every pull guarantees a win and the chance to uncover ultra-rare grails, turning every visit into a legendary score! Grow your personal sports card collection while chasing your favorite athletes' cards, or add to your Pokémon collection as you attempt to "collect them all."

Chase some of the most popular athletes' rarest cards, including selections from three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes III, seven-time NHL All-Star Connor McDavid, WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark and more. Go after rare Holos and early edition Pokémon cards featuring your favorite characters like Pikachu, Charizard and Venusaur.
