Instant Sports Card Buybacks from Live Breaks

CardsIQ lets you turn graded sports card hits from live breaks into cash instantly—while the break is still happening. We currently partner with HG Breaks on Whatnot and are expanding to additional trusted breakers on platforms like Whatnot, Fanatics, and Drip. Out-of-network cards (not hit in a partner break) will be supported in the future and will require shipping.

When you join an HG Breaks stream on Whatnot and hit a graded card, you can accept an instant cash offer on the spot. The card never leaves the breaker’s possession. Once you accept, the payout is queued immediately and moves to your CardsIQ wallet for withdrawal.

No shipping is required for instant buybacks with our current trusted breaking partners. If you submit out-of-network cards in the future (once available), you’ll generate a shipping label and send them to CardsIQ for verification before payout.

Currently, we accept graded sports cards (PSA, BGS, SGC) that are pulled live in HG Breaks on Whatnot or that are inside Aquabox repacks sold by trusted vendors supplying CardsIQ inventory. Future updates will allow shipping of out-of-network graded sports cards.

Payouts are initiated the moment you accept an offer during a break. Funds are available for withdrawal once the breaker confirms the card remains secured. Withdrawal options include ACH, PayPal, and Venmo.

No shipping costs apply for our current live-break instant buybacks. When we add out-of-network card submissions, sellers will be responsible for shipping those cards to CardsIQ.

A small processing fee is factored into every offer. CardsIQ network partners and Aquabox repacks benefit from reduced fees. Fees will remain transparent as we expand to more partners and shipping options.

Yes—offers can be canceled anytime during the break until you accept. After acceptance and breaker confirmation, the transaction is locked in and cannot be canceled.

Our pricing engine analyzes real-time market comps, grade, demand, and recent transactions to generate a fair, instant cash offer. We constantly update our model for accuracy and consistency.

Not long-term. Today, instant buybacks are available only through HG Breaks on Whatnot. We are actively onboarding additional breaking partners on Whatnot, Fanatics, Drip, and more, and will later support shipping of out-of-network cards.
