What is Instant Rips?
Instant Rips is a breaking experience on Fanatics Live that gives collectors instant access to their cards—no shipping delays. The moment a card is revealed in a break, it is instantly transferred to your Fanatics Collect vault, where you can sell, trade, or ship it immediately.
