Pull rates
How often the rare cards turn up in a pack.
- What are the pull rates of a Riftbound booster pack?Every Riftbound booster pack is built with at least two Rares or better. By Riot's figures an Epic turns up in about one pack in four, an alternate art card in about one in 12 and an overnumbered card in about one in 72, while the Ultimate Rares take a thousand packs or more.6 min
- How many packs does it take to find an overnumbered card?By Riot's rate for Origins, an overnumbered card turns up about once in 72 Riftbound booster packs, three displays on average, yet one display holds one less than a third of the time. One particular overnumbered card takes about 864 packs, and a signed one ten times as many.6 min
- What is a Riftbound booster pack worth on average?At market prices on 12 October 2026, an average Riftbound booster pack was worth more than its $4.99 launch price in Origins, Spiritforged and Unleashed, and about $4.99 in Vendetta. The average leans on rare showcase cards, though, so most packs were worth less than $4.99.7 min
Card prices
What makes a card cost what it costs.
- What decides the price of a Riftbound card?The price of a Riftbound card comes from how scarce its printing is and how many players and collectors want it. A signed or overnumbered printing costs far more than the standard card, and among standard cards the ones that many strong decks play cost the most.7 min
- Which Riftbound cards are the most expensive?The most expensive Riftbound cards are collector printings. In October 2026 the signed overnumbered cards of champions such as Ahri, Kai'Sa and Akali led the price lists, ahead of the Ultimate Rare Baron Nashor and the GG EZ Teemo promo.7 min
- How do TCGplayer and Cardmarket prices differ?TCGplayer prices Riftbound cards in US dollars from recent sales on its marketplace in the United States, while Cardmarket gives a price trend in euros from the last 28 selling days in Europe. Each market sets its own prices, so the same card can differ by far more than the exchange rate.6 min
- Does the language of a Riftbound card change its price?A Riftbound card plays the same in every language, so a Chinese or French copy is never worth more or less in a game. What it sells for depends on how many buyers want that language where it is sold, and a few printings exist in one language only.6 min
Condition and care
How to keep cards looking the way they came out of the pack.
- How do you protect your Riftbound cards?Put every Riftbound deck you play in sleeves, keep the rarest printings in a soft sleeve inside a rigid toploader, and store the rest in boxes or side-loading binders in a dry room out of the sun. At events, a scratched or bent card can count as a marked card.7 min
- What do card conditions like Near Mint mean?Card conditions describe how much wear a single Riftbound card shows. Near Mint means a card that looks almost unplayed, with at most a few tiny flaws. Below it, TCGplayer lists Lightly Played, Moderately Played, Heavily Played and Damaged, while Cardmarket uses a longer scale of its own.7 min
- Should you grade your Riftbound cards?Grading pays off for only a few Riftbound cards: valuable printings such as overnumbered, signed and Ultimate Rare cards in top condition that you want to sell or keep sealed. For most cards, and for any card you play with, the fee and the wait cost more than a grade adds.7 min
- How do you store a large Riftbound collection?Store a large Riftbound collection in three parts: the valuable cards in sleeves and binders, three copies of every card you play sorted by set and collector number, and the spare copies in card storage boxes. Keep every box dry, cool and out of the sun.7 min
Keeping track
Ways to know what you own and what it is worth.
- How do you keep track of a Riftbound collection?To keep track of a Riftbound collection, count every card by its collector number, such as OGN · 119/298, with plain and foil copies apart and each special printing on a line of its own. A spreadsheet works, and the collection on this site keeps the count, the value and the gaps for you.7 min
- How do you sort a Riftbound binder?The simplest way to sort a Riftbound binder is by set and collector number, since Riot numbers every set domain by domain with the Legends and battlefields last. For building decks, a binder sorted by domain or by champion in rows of three copies works better, and the showcase printings suit a binder of their own.6 min
- What does it take to complete a Riftbound set?A complete Riftbound set is one copy of every numbered card, 298 in Origins and 166 in Vendetta. By Riot's Origins rates the Commons come within three booster displays, but every Epic takes about 30 displays on average, so most collectors finish a set with single cards.8 min
