CoolStuffInc, my online store of choice, is having a sale on loose boosters.
Since I've been out of the game for awhile, I have little if anything from recent sets.
I wonder which ones are most worthwhile.
I get a 5% customer rewards discount on sealed product.
Magic 2014 - $2.39
Magic 2015 - $2.49
Conspiracy - $2.39
Theros - $2.49
Born of the Gods - $2.49
Return to Ravnica - $2.59
Gatecrash - $2.39
Khans of Tarkir - $2.59
Fate Reforged - $2.49
Dragons of Tarkir - $2.49
Also a lot of older sets and/or foreign language versions
The price for a box for those cane be $85. It's not bad for after the set being released. But nothing special. Id rather just preorder a box for $80 well in the future when the prices of cards are high and you can trade them.
if youre looking for value, just opening boosters is usually bad.
but if thats what you want, one of the sets with eternal-playable lands is a good choice. rtr and khans have shocks and fetches, respectively.
Usually I do buy boxes right when a set comes out. Obviously I can't do that retroactively. And I noticed their loose pack sale price is better than their regular box price.
I work on complete sets, so I have more use for the other stuff in boosters.
I was thinking one of the large sets because there wouldn't be as many duplicates. Sounds like another good reason.
No. I know that adds value to pack buying.
I figure this probably rules out Conspiracy.
I know packs aren't usually a good deal for singles, but i thought they may have been with this sale.
Sometimes I solitaire draft acting as multiple players like I do for constructed.
The only thing I would randomly buy a pack of every set for on a sale like this is for chaos drafting. 8 players 24 different sets worth of packs. Other then that I see little to no value in these packs unless you are collecting sealed product.
