Rax Academy is a free website for collectors on the Real Sports app. It started as a simple board where members post what they'll pay for cards, and has grown into a full set of tools that helps thousands of members trade smarter, open better packs and earn more rax from the cards they own.
The site is built and run by a member of the Real collecting community and is used by a community of over 9,000 collectors. It is free to use - sign up with your Real username and a password made just for this site.
What you can do here
Rate BoardStanding buy offers for college football, NFL, NHL, soccer and UFC cards. Post the rate you'll pay for a player's card, or see who is paying the most for the cards you have.
SwapsPick the player passes you want and the hours you're free. Swaps matches you with another member who wants a pass you have, and both of you get a message at your swap time - two-way trades with no money involved.
Pack dataEvery player's plays and performances by rarity, with the odds of pulling an Iconic, Mystic, Legendary or Epic card from their pack, and a rating calculator that works out how many packs a card needs to reach the next rarity.
Boosts & BuysWhich booster to put on which card for the most rax, based on the cards you own and each player's recent games.
ProjectionsEach player's projected rax for the rest of the regular season, plus a plain on-pace number from their games so far.
Tag finderEvery game that earned a rare performance tag - Iconic, Mystic and Legendary - for the NFL, college football, MLB and NBA, with the stat line that earned it.
How the numbers work
Game results, ratings and rarities come from public game data and from the Real app's public card information, collected and organized by the site. Rax projections use each player's own games: their average per game, the games left on their team's schedule, and injury news. Pack odds treat every card in a pack's pool as equally likely, so the chance of a rare pull is the number of rare cards divided by the size of the pool.
Numbers are estimates to help you decide - they are not guarantees, and the Real app is always the final word.
Keeping it free
Rax Academy is free for everyone. Hosting, data and the bot that sends swap messages cost money every month, so the site shows a small number of ads and may show a clearly marked sponsor.
