How It Works

From choosing a pack to getting a real graded slab delivered to your door — here's how collecting with The Slab Lab works.

1. Choose a pack

Browse our range of packs at different price points. Each pack shows its rarity bands, odds, and the full range of graded slabs it can contain — so you always know what's possible before you buy.

2. Open and reveal

Buy your pack with a card or your account balance, then reveal it. Every pack guarantees one real, professionally graded Pokémon slab drawn from our live UK inventory using our provably fair engine.

3. Keep, ship, or sell back

The slab is added to your collection. Keep it as long as you like, request tracked UK delivery whenever you're ready, or sell it back to us for 85% of its guide price as instant store credit.

4. Ship it to your door

Combine multiple slabs into a single order or ship them one at a time. Everything is dispatched via tracked delivery from the UK, fully insured while it's in our care.

Provably fair odds

Every pack opening uses a deterministic, cryptographic engine. We commit to the outcome before you open by publishing a SHA-256 hash, and reveal the full seeds afterwards so you can verify the result yourself. Learn more on our provably fair page.

Buybacks and store credit

Not every slab will be one for your collection — and that's fine. Sell any slab back to us for 85% of its current guide price as store credit, added to your balance instantly and spendable on future packs or shipping. Still deciding? Read our FAQs for the full detail.
