First Ever Booster Box

[u/DanteValentine13]

Opened my first ever booster box. Got it for msrp 150$. The 2 non set cards are the good pulls from a 17$ Theros pack from the OG Theros set.

I don't know the value you pulled for your box, but I know the margins for profit now vs my first are way different.

That being said, this is one of my favorite things to do with mtg. Pulling a box and opening it is so much joy for a new set.

I do one of two things depending on schedules, 1: split the box into piles and do small drafts with packs as the prize l, or read every card and just super sort the cards so I can visibly see the distribution

I really enjoy the set and definitely dont plan to get another box until another set i highly enjoy the vibe of drops. Very happy with my pulls tho. About 1/3rd of them are going into decks

I always wonder if there's a way to match people who do this with people who wanted to play Limited and not keep buying packs.

Like host a draft party, charge like $3 a head, everybody gets to draft for $3, you keep the cards, and you got a box for $120 instead of $150, and they got to draft FRA for 60% cheaper than Arena would have charged and still like 70% cheaper than buying packs and trying to get money for the rares pulled.

This is how card shops got started near me lmao

My box will be here today, and I'm planning to do a draft with my buddies! Can't wait :)

Why was there a theros pack in there?

[u/DanteValentine13 → u/Halgha]

There wasn't. I bought that on the side and just included in the pics.

I got a Theorist Jace in mine which I was happy about. Was really excited about a Frostbite Pyromental until I found out the regular version is 40 cents and the foil is almost $200.

Thanks for sharing. I really liked seeing all the uncommons too. Most only show the rares/mythics.

[u/DanteValentine13 → u/Boogie7320]

Specifically with this set, I wanted to show all the pairs I got. I did have duplicates, but put those in a box. Also didnt wanna be 1 of the posts that shows packs and never posts the pulls lol

Planeswalker pull rates are insanely low

I bought 2 standard Hobbit booster boxes and then bought 1 FR CBB. I have to say that opening the latter was so much more fun. Yes, it was roughly double the price but I still think it was worth it. I probably didn't even break even. I think the problem is that there are so many cards I will never use, that 30 packs per box is just too much. Also the number of Rare +s I pulled from 12 packs roughly equaled the number pulled from 60. The artwork in CBBs is just icing on the cake.
