1. Event Participation & Entry Limits
- Format: A 40-entrant Pokémon card break. Each entry grants ownership of one (1) $25 Starter Pack.
- Limit: Strictly two (2) entries per person/household. Attempts to bypass this limit via multiple accounts or aliases will result in the cancellation of additional entries, which will be refunded minus any non-refundable Stripe processing fees.
2. Valuation Law & Formula
To ensure total transparency, the value of each card is determined by the average of market data from Card Ladder and PriceCharting:
$$V_{avg} = \frac{V_{CardLadder} + V_{PriceCharting}}{2}$$
- Missing Data: If a card is found on only one platform, that value is final. If unlisted, the host determines value based on the most recent comparable “Sold” listings.
3. The “Price is Right” Tie-Breaker Protocol
In the event of a value tie for the lowest pull, the winner will be decided via a live showdown:
- The host reveals a “Mystery Card” to the tied participants.
- Participants must submit their guess for the card’s market value in the live chat.
- The participant whose guess is closest to the actual market value without going over is declared the winner.
4. Prize Fulfillment
- Grand Prize: A $2,500 Lunar Pack opening. All cards pulled belong to the Champion.
- Vaulting: Digital transfers to PSA Vault are free. Entrants must provide a valid PSA Account Email and Collectors ID.
- Live Sales: Entrants may elect to sell their pull live for a partial refund via the original payment method.
- Shipping Fees: $7.98 (USA), $26.98 (Canada), or $33.98 (International).
- Champion Bonus: The Lunar Champion receives free shipping on all cards; any S&H fees paid at entry by the winner will be refunded.
5. Funding & Surplus
The $99 entry covers all asset and operational costs. All remaining surplus funds are donated to the California 2026 Student Travel Fund.
6. Finality
All sales are final due to the limited 40-man format. Results are calculated live and are non-contestable once the Lunar Pack has been opened.
