Gacha Pull Expands Its Abstract Card-Rip Market to Magic: The Gathering

Gacha Pull (gacha_game_) launched Magic: The Gathering pack rips on its Abstract collectibles marketplace on Aug. 13, the company announced — the third new pack category the platform has added in two weeks, after opening with single-sport rookie-card drops in late July.

Gacha Pull runs pull.gacha.game, where users buy digital "rip" packs for a chance at real, professionally graded trading cards. The site markets itself on "guaranteed pulls," "real graded cards" and cash back on losing pulls of up to 95%. On its Pokémon Legendary Pack, a $1,000 pack Descout reviewed Aug. 14, Gacha Pull listed a 55% minimum-value guarantee and a 92% buyback rate — the kind of downside protection built into its catalog.

The current run started July 31, when Gacha Pull launched NBA Rookie Rip, a pack line built around a PSA-graded Cooper Flagg Topps Chrome rookie card valued at $2,100, the company said. A day later, Gacha Pull reported one of its bigger secondary-market results to date: a PSA-graded Lamine Yamal rookie card sold for $93,940 in July, according to the company.

Gacha Pull added a second sports-card line, Hall of Fame Rip, on Aug. 6, it said. On Aug. 10 it raised its weekly leaderboard prize to $5,000 and teased what it called its biggest pack yet, a $1,999 tier it said would launch the next day, per the announcement — Gacha Pull has not confirmed whether that pack shipped on schedule. Hours later the same day, the company pitched its graded-card packs as a way to get graded cards without paying PSA's grading fee directly, pointing to PSA's $79.99 submission charge.

That framing lines up with a real shift at PSA. The grading company paused its cheapest tiers — Value, Value Plus, Value Max and Value Bulk — on June 2 to work through a backlog that had grown past 10 million cards, leaving Regular grading, at $79.99 per card with turnaround now stretched to 50 business days, as PSA's cheapest active option.

The Magic: The Gathering launch three days later extends Gacha Pull's run to three confirmed new pack categories in under two weeks: NBA Rookie Rip, Hall of Fame Rip and now MTG. Whether the earlier drops are still live is unclear — Gacha Pull's pack catalog, checked Aug. 14, listed filters only for Pokémon and One Piece; the NBA, Hall of Fame and teased $1,999 packs were not browsable in the default view, and the company has not said whether those SKUs sold out, rotated off, or sit elsewhere on the site.
