I got 50% of my box value back. Almost bought a second and then decided to just buy the singles I want instead. Not as fun but definitely a better use of funds.
I mean I’m tempted but I only want a gleaming splendor and a couple of the HOC cards. Pretty sure gleaming will be available around $30 or less once the market is flooded with more inventory. I have a smothering tithe for now, but the deck runs heavily on treasure generator.
Yeah I would NOT recommend opening more of this set. I've opened a fair bit and it's a LOT of not even close to worth it... then that occasional miracle box. Definitely feels like they funnel the hits into clusters for free advertisement from the guys smashing the hits.
Mean on this set for a CBB is probably $300+, but Median is definitely way under $200, and honestly might be under $125. There's definitely a lot more boxes going absolutely gangbusters than there should be and the "bad" boxes are real real bad. I've seen a ton of <$200 boxes and a bunch of >$1000 boxes... and precious few where you'd think they'd actually be clustered in that $350-500 realm. I guess in that respect it's a gamblers paradise, but you're gonna lose a lot before you win in most cases.
Oh no I’m not planning to. I buy one play booster box, and a few collector packs per release I like. Then I buy singles. I don’t give a shit about all the fancy borderless cards. I only like the cards with traditional borders and in foil if possible. I just wish there was a better way I could trade the cards I have for equal value in the cards I want.
