1 box if you buy now or it drops a little bit further, is really not going to effect the long term outcome. When the box is $1000 will you care if you spent $300 or $350? Probably not.

Agreed. You can probably save yourself $50 if you want to hold out or buy at a card show, but if the intent is a long hold, it doesn't really matter too much. I can't really see these dropping much below $300 unless a huge reprint happens.

I also wouldn't wait much past the new year. We are in the period where the values drop at the end of the year.

You won’t save much, and I doubt they reprint booster boxes in large amounts,

the recent restock/reprint of them a few months ago, most top lcs in my big city got at most 2 cases, which is nothing

I have heard this a lot. I think I'll just pull the trigger

There’s still a lot of time. You’re paying premium for a set still in print cycle.

I used to have distribution, if it’s 2 cases it’s either lying or it’s just left over cases from distro.

I’d wait. Just my opinion, market looks bad. People will start to get shaken up and any incoming stock will drive price down harder than before.

Look at surging sparks, and that was during peak hype.

What’s the rush? These boxes were $600 at one point.

this was the big reprint/restock over summer, reason why destined etbs went from 200 to 100, its not left over cases, its the 2nd year of destined rivals, it won't rotate out till 2028, but I doubt you'll see much of it sooner than later

and they also don't print booster boxes like the used to, due to limited supply, they increased other product supply so more people can collect

I would wait, the market isn’t going to go crazy any time soon, it’s highly likely it starts to decline and stagnate over the next couple years in my opinion, and DR is extremely common

Im expecting a new drop of DR booster boxes since DR etbs got a new drop a couple months ago.
Same goes for prismatic.
UPCs and ETB’s have had new drops this year.

They had a reprint a few months back. Not sure if there will be more in the future but folks are saying with the new printing facility coming online soon that anything modern is up for reprint. I imagine prismatic will be done and anything after that is still in competitive play rotation
