There is no denying that repacks have an increased presence in the hobby in today's world. They do vary in quality as well as transparency. Some cost very little, while some can cost a good amount of money. Arena Club is one of the leading companies that offer repacks, and they are on the verge of offering an amazing promotion to collectors. Ahead of that announcement, here is a brief overview of Arena Club, what they offer, and how it works for collectors who may not be familiar with them.

What is Arena Club/How does it work?
Arena Club started in 2022, and one of it's major figures is Derek Jeter, the former New York Yankees player. The company itself offers what they call slab packs, but with transparency and all graded cards available in an all online and tiered format. For example, if a collector were to go onto their website right now, they would see multiple levels of repacks for sale, ranging from Miscellaneous ($25), Sliver ($50), Gold ($100), Ruby ($250), Emerald ($500, and Diamond ($1,000). Collectors can also find a Legendary Tier that costs $2,500 and special packs that are sometimes up for grabs at a variable price. While cards are pulled online, collectors have the option to have the cards shipped to them, leave them in their showroom, or accept an instant offer from Arena Club to buy back the card.

At each tier, collectors can find numerous sports in slab packs, such as Baseball, Basketball, and Football. The ability to select a pack by sport is possible, which is good for collectors who only collect certain sports. Additionally, a checklist is available for collectors to look at with odds and pictures of cards that they might pull.

An example of this would be the current (at time of writing) Diamond Baseball slab pack. The checklist is split into the grail card, chase cards, and the rest of the lineup. The current grail card is a 2018 Topps Definitive Shohei Ohtani Rookie Autograph in a PSA 10.

The chase card lineup also features major players such as a Freddie Freeman 1/1 Logo Patch Autograph, a Cal Raleigh Rookie Autograph from 2019 Bowman Chrome in a PSA 10, and an Ohtani Auto from 2024 Cosmic Chrome.

The rest of the lineup still features major cards, like a 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle and a 2024 Topps Update Chrome Paul Skenes Rookie Black Refractor. Both cards are graded, as are all cards that are pulled.
The Promotion
Arena Club will be putting a major card into various slab packs that they offer, and the card in question is worth approximately $100,000. Throughout the month, it will be placed for two hours at a time into the $50, $100, and $250 packs. For collectors who are interested, Sports Cards Nonsense is partnering with them on a promotion, offering a discount code. The discount code is SCN, and it gets buyers 20% their first purchase. Whether it is the chase after the super grail card, or another card, this is a great incentive for collectors to test out the repack market.
