Rush Fantasy — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rush Fantasy?
Rush Fantasy is the first ownership-based fantasy game where graded sports cards aren't just collectibles — they're your roster.
Players buy and own real, slabbed sports cards, then use those cards to build fantasy lineups and compete in daily contests powered by real stats and cross-era simulations.
In Rush, you don't draft from a pool — you own the game.
How is Rush Fantasy different from traditional fantasy sports?
Traditional fantasy sports let you draft players you don't own.
Rush Fantasy is different:
- You must own the card to play the player
- Cards have real-world value and ongoing utility
- Gameplay is fast, daily, and skill-based
It's fantasy sports built on ownership.
Are the cards real?
Yes. Every Rush Fantasy pack contains real, physical sports cards.
Cards are:
- Authenticated and graded by trusted third parties (e.g., PSA, SGC, CGC)
- Stored securely in the Rush Vault
- Fully owned by you once revealed
These are not digital-only items or replicas.
Are pack odds transparent?
Yes. All Rush Fantasy packs have published, transparent odds.
Before purchasing, users can see:
- Card tier distributions
- Rarity ranges
- Expected value bands
We believe trust starts with clarity — no hidden mechanics, no mystery math.
What is the Rush Vault?
The Rush Vault is our secure storage system for your cards.
Vaulted cards:
- Are immediately playable in fantasy contests
- Can be sold, traded, or bought back without shipping delays
- Remain insured and protected
You can request physical delivery of your cards at any time for a standard retrieval and shipping fee.
Can I sell my cards?
Yes. You have multiple options:
- Instant Buyback (optional, typically ~90% of current fair market value for eligible cards)
- Marketplace listing (sell directly to other users)
- Trade or hold for gameplay utility
You are never required to sell — ownership is always yours.
What does “~90% buyback” mean?
For eligible cards, Rush offers an optional instant buyback at approximately 90% of fair market value.
This:
- Provides liquidity and price certainty
- Reduces friction for casual collectors
- Is not guaranteed for every card or at all times
Buyback availability depends on inventory, demand, and market conditions.
Is Rush Fantasy gambling?
No.
Rush Fantasy is:
- A skill-based fantasy game
- Built on ownership of physical goods
- Legal in all 50 U.S. states
Users purchase real cards — not wagers — and gameplay outcomes are determined by skill, strategy, and transparent scoring systems.
How do fantasy contests work?
Fantasy contests work by:
- Owning eligible Rush cards
- Building a lineup under a salary cap
- Entering a contest
- Players score points via real stats (Standard Mode) or simulations (Wild Mode)
- Leaderboards determine prizes and rewards
Most contests take under 5 minutes to enter.
What is the Rush Rating and why does it matter?
The Rush Rating is Rush Fantasy's version of a salary cap system to keep gameplay fair and strategic.
- You can't stack only superstars
- Mid-tier and role-player cards matter
- Lineup diversity is rewarded
This keeps the game competitive and prevents pay-to-win dynamics.
Do rare cards automatically win?
No.
Rare and high-grade cards may receive modest bonuses, but:
- Bonuses are intentionally non-deterministic
- Underperformance can carry risk
- Skillful lineup construction matters more than rarity alone
Every card has value — no card guarantees wins.
Can beginners play Rush Fantasy?
Absolutely.
New users can:
- Start with Starter Packs designed to be immediately playable

Rewards vary by contest type and season.
Is Rush Fantasy fair?
Yes.
